Real Estate Report: Deposits on the Rise

By Judy Szablak

Special to WestportNow

Deposits on single family homes in Westport are on the rise.

In the last 45 days, 45 homes have gone under the initial deposit stage, and there are another 44 properties that are scheduled to close.

New supply has been gobbled up as fast as it comes on the market. For example, we had sixteen new listings this past week, and sixteen homes took a deposit, which equals a zero net gain in inventory.

This tends to bring about increased multiple bidding situations, which also breeds disappointed buyers, but at the same time it brings hopeful sellers who can take advantage of what the current market conditions will bear.

Scaled Down Again, Daybreak Developer Heading Back to P&Z

By James Lomuscio

The owner of Able Construction, Inc. said today he plans to return to Westport’s Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) with a further scaled-down plan for a 55 age-restricted development at the former Daybreak Nurseries property.

Johnny Schwartz (l) and Peter Greenberg describe the revised plans. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

“We went from 12 to 11 units, and we think they will accept fewer units; now we’ll go down to 10 or nine,” said Peter Greenberg, owner of the Norwalk-based construction company.

His business partner Johnny Schwartz said the new plan also forgoes a cut through driveway via Main Street to Weston Road and instead offers a cul du sac accessible from Weston Road beyond the troubled Main Street-Weston Road intersection.

At previous P&Z meetings since November, area residents have spoken against the project at 500 Main St., arguing it would only exacerbate traffic at the intersection.
