(See WestportNow Jan. 12, 2013) Chef and co-owner Eric Sierra, a native of Biarritz, France, was associated with Westport’s Bistro des Amis from 1991 to 2001 and Il Palio, a Shelton restaurant featuring Mediterranean cuisine. He also was at Martel’s in Farfield. A news release said the new restaurant features a “menu that is French all the way –- sans pretense, with a hint of flavor from various French speaking territories. Chef Sierra has created a casual menu that instead focuses on the better ingredients, bigger flavors, and heartier dishes associated with French country cuisine, with a nod to more refined and classic preparations, without the higher price tag.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

If you were to look at the available inventory alone, what may initially appear as stagnant market would not be an appropriate analysis.

For all of the new listings that come on the market weekly, the deposits on new and existing inventory have nearly equaled that number. This is an active market and sometimes quite competitive.

Just as important for the market and to determine pricing trends—how many homes are taking deposits, how many properties are under pending status, and how many houses have recently sold, especially when those homes have similar features to your own home.
