Just over 11 percent of the available single-family homes are of this type, which typically includes mid-century moderns, and uniquely angled home designs among others.

Oftentimes, we look at contemporaries as being somewhat more affordable than a traditional colonial given the same square footage and amenities.

However, reviewing activity in general from the past year may reveal slightly different circumstances, as higher demand is evident.

Real Estate Report: Market Could Use Some Warmth

By Judy Szablak

Although home sales are beginning to improve, it’s no secret that Westport’s real estate market could use some warmth and a ray of sunshine right now. However, a few neighborhoods continue to be among the the brightest in town, including the Compo Beach area.

Just under 11 percent of Westport’s available inventory is listed for sale in this area, and the average price of these 26 homes is $3,576,612, which is well above town-wide single family statistical averages.

In fact, all data points to about a six and a half month supply, while many areas are still seeing almost a year on average to absorb the properties that are on the market right now.

There are seven homes under some stage of deposit here, with an average price of $3,263,286, including one on Minute Man Hill that is listed at $7,495,000. The 21 homes that sold in the last six months had an average list price of $3,360,048.
