Built in 1950, the 1-3/4-story contemporary has 2,386 square feet, is situated on a 1.05-acre property and, according to the assessor records, ownership last changed hands in August, 1990. Because the house was built more than 50 years ago, the application will be reviewed by the Westport Historic District Commission. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Our Multiple Listing Service identifies 11 separate neighborhoods (or areas) in town, and if we assume this data is correctly input into the system, which it generally is, then trending information on specific areas can easily be determined.
Only a few areas in town continue to be above the town’s average on a sales performance basis.
The Hunt Club area is the clear standout in town, with 29 homes available, 15 under some stage of deposit, and 49 sales within the last year. The average list price here is just over $2.04 million, which is $200,000 less than the town as a whole.
