Comings and Goings: Suzie CreamCheese to Downtown

Suzie CreamCheese, the women’s apparel shop at 1330 Post Road East, is closing and relocating to 68 Church Lane in downtown Westport where it will share the store space with Love and Company, the interior design shop. Owner Westporter Robin Singer said that her shop has been in the Post Road East location for six and a half years and hopes to close by the end of next week. Singer said that she plans to open at the new location in mid-August. “We’ll share the same entrance (at 68 Church Lane) but will then occupy separate sides of the store space,” she said. Singer said that the downtown location offers the advantage of more foot traffic. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Real Estate Report: Time on Market Dropping

By Judy Szablak

Westport’s real estate market remains healthy due in part to educated sellers. Over the past year or so, we have seen a lot of home sales with three digit market times.

However the last seven days have shown single family and condominium closings that reflect an average of just over two months time on the market. This surpasses our surrounding towns’ statistics by a wide margin.

While we see the market somewhat stabilizing, sellers perception of value has also become more realistic. When a home is priced correctly, it will sell faster and not linger on the market, and that is evidenced very well by this week’s report.

Homes: There are 379 single family homes on the market and their average list price is $2,101,113. The median list price is steady at $1,289,950. These homes have been listed for sale an average of 106 days.

Shake Shack Nearing Completion

Westport’s newest burger entry, Shake Shack at 1849 Post Road East on the Fairfield line, is nearing completion. Restaurant officials told the Planning and Zoning Commission they aimed to open in July, but the exact date is not known. A worker at the site would not be more specific saying, “I can’t leak any information.” Serving hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries and milkshakes, Shake Shack has six locations, five in New York and one in Miami. The first Shake Shack opened in July 2004 in New York City’s Madison Square Park. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
