Comings & Goings: Wild Pear Closes

The Wild Pear, 44 Church Lane, closed recently after four years in that location. Property owner Steve Crowley, principal of Westport’s SCA Commercial Real Estate who has owned the property for 20 years, said the concept of food is changing in Westport. “Customers want the option to sit down similar to Fortuna’s and Oscar’s,” he said. “A food business can no longer survive on carry out only.” He said the location recently was approved for outdoor seating, and he is talking to several interested restaurateurs. Its look “will fit into the Church Lane environment,” Crowley said. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Real Estate Report: Multiple Offers Not Out of Norm

By Judy Szablak

Deposits are on the rise, and multiple offer situations on correctly priced Westport properties are not out of the norm anymore.

There have been 34 homes that entered the initial stage of deposit (CTS) in the last 30 days, and the length of time for these houses going under deposit mirrors a sellers market.

Five properties had single digit market time, while almost 40 percent went under CTS status within one month. The most activity in a price range occurred between $1 million - $1.25 million with six properties entering the initial stage of deposit.

The 15 percent of homes under the initial stage of deposit as compared to the homes actively for sale is substantially better than the approximate 10 percent that it has been over the past year.
