The increase in the overall market is the healthiest we have seen for quite a while. Sales prices are up on average more than 3.5 percent over last year, and market time is down about 5 percent. Interestingly, the average size of the homes sold this year is also slightly smaller.

In 2012, 362 single family homes were sold at an average price of $1,493,792, and the average size of these homes was just under 3,800 square feet.

Year-to-date, 369 homes were sold at an average price of $1,548,072, and the average square footage dipped slightly to 3,714 square feet.

Most of the purchases were for takeout.” He said the restaurant would start a delivery service soon for lunch and dinner as well as catering services for offices and parties. Adam Corrin, Freshii franchise development manager added: “One of the most common comments we’ve heard from customers today was ‘it’s good to see this kind of concept in Westport.’” Freshii offers salads, burritos, wraps, quinoa and rice bowls, yogurts, breakfast, soups, juices and smoothies, all made with high-quality, fresh ingredients.
