Real Estate Report: Recovery Mode Unsteady

By Judy Szablak

It was quite a unique week for real estate sales in Westport. The average sales price for the six homes that were sold was less than $700,000.

If you looked at was sold in 2011, the numbers would show that the average price last year during the same period was nearly $1.7 million. Does that mean that we took a $1 million hit in property values from last year?

Of course not. Does it mean we are in a steady decline? No, not at all. Last week’s sales are representative of just those six houses, and do not represent the market as a whole.

Out of the nearly 320 homes currently for sale, there are 81 homes available under $1 million, and as things go, more of those “lower tier” properties sold last week than they have in any seven-day period in years.

Soleil Toile, the women’s lingerie, bathing suit and accessories shop at 24 Post Road East, at the corner of Taylor Place, will move to 14 Post Road East by the end of November.

WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 7 Whippoorwill Lane

An application for a permit to demolish the house at Westport’s 7 Whippoorwill Lane, off Cross Highway, is in process. Built in 1956, the one-story ranch has 1.392 square feet and is situated on a 1.01-acre property. Pictured is owner Lorraine De Carlo who lived in the house for about 30 years. “It’‘s one of the oldest houses left on this street,” she said. “It was built by my former husband’s father, John Giglio, in the 1950s.” She said because the property goes all the way back to Woody Lane, the builder of the replacement house plans to make the driveway entrance on that street so it will have a Woody Lane address.
