That’s according to the 2017 Homebuyers and Sellers Generational Trends report recently published by The National Association of Realtors.

Some very interesting data in the report included the top five website features that buyers and sellers look for when shopping for a home.

Photos were number one on the list, followed by detailed property information, floor plans, virtual home tours, and recently sold home data.

Comings & Goings: Nike Running to Close

WestportNow.com Image
An employee today confirmed a longtime rumor that the Nike Running store, 69 Main St., will close by end of 2017. The employee said the Nike trend now is to limit retail locations to “outlets and large cities.” The store opened in November 2011 and suffered severe flooding during Super Storm Sandy in 2012. One local real estate source estimated there are now 10 vacancies or availabilities in the Main Street area, one of the highest such rates in recent years.
