Its representatives, led by Fairfield attorney John Fallon, earned the approval of the Board of Selectmen today of their request for an easement of the town-owned curb and adjacent pavement as reviewed by Public Works Director Steve Edwards, who attended the meeting.

By Judy Szablak
There certainly are positives in what otherwise may seem to be a slower real estate market in Westport.

However, bear in mind that a lot of what we are experiencing has to do with a normal seasonal downtime, and it should not be of any major concern.
Homes are indeed selling. In fact, there are 100-single family homes under some stage of deposit, which shows continued promise.
That being said, now is the the time to strategize a home sale or purchase, and your plan of action will depend upon your price range. Different price pockets offer varying opportunities for sellers or buyers.
