Going Down: 17 Soundview Drive

UPDATE Demolition began today of 17 Soundview Drive, at the corner of Norwalk Avenue, overlooking Compo Beach. Workers said because of the structure’s close proximity to the property line and roadways, the job will likely take two or three days. Built in 1918, the two-story conventional has 3,161-square feet, and is situated on a .11-acre property that changed ownership in June 2015 for $2,466,000. It was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on March 25, 2016. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) WestportNow.com photo

Comings & Goings: Learning Express Toys Closing

It was an ironic announcement for this Small Business Saturday. Alice and David Marks, owners of Learning Express Toys, 425 Post Road East in the Compo Shopping Center, informed customers today they are closing after 21 years in Westport. “We have finally succumbed to the predatory nature of e-commerce in general, and Amazon more specifically,” said David. He said the store would offer 30 percent off all merchandise until the stock runs out. Six store employees will lose jobs as a result of the closing. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) WestportNow.com photo

Breno Donatti, the new owner, also owns Norwalk’s Winfield Italian Deli, 69 Winfield St., and, since February, Winfield Street Espresso & Panini Bar, 4 Railroad Place, across from the Westport Metro-North Railroad Station in Saugatuck.

He said the name of the Post Road West business will be renamed Winfield Street Italian Deli once all town-required permits are approved and issued.

Donatti said Richard Falcone Sr., former owner of Art’s Deli, recently underwent bypass surgery and is recuperating in Florida.

Real Estate Report: How Much to Offer?

By Judy Szablak

Special to WestportNow

When you see the house that you want to purchase in Westport and are ready to make a bid, remember that some offers are considered reasonable and some are not.

Many buyers are of the mindset to begin the offering process with what is referred to as the 90 percent rule. That is, a reasonable offer on a property should start at 90 percent of the list price. Quite frankly, that thinking is flawed.

Some others will make what sellers, and the industry in general consider to be a low-ball offer of less than 75 percent of asking price.

Yet other buyers can become so emotionally attached that they’ll pay asking price with no questions asked, no matter what type of market.
