By Judy Szablak

Special to WestportNow

Westport’s bustling condominium market seems to come in waves, and is currently a very active segment with only 12 units available and four under the beginning stages of deposit.

Transient ownership contributes to overall complex turnover, or the rate of sales within a given period of time.

Over the past five years, the turnover rate has been highest at Lansdowne with 33 sales as reported by our Multiple Listing Service, which equates to one-third of all units within that complex.

Both Regents Park and Harvest Commons are at 20 percent, which is still considered very strong.
