Westport, Connecticut Moves

During the 2nd quarter, the housing market, in Westport, CT, continued to be soft.  Although not a dramatic drop, average sale price, of a single family home, fell 6%, compared with the comparable period, a year ago.  Unit sales slowed to less than half the 2007 pace.  Condominiums maintained their selling price, actually climbing 3 percent,  Unit sales, however, dropped a whopping 67 percent. 

There are currently 23 condominium units for sale in Westport.  The average asking price remains steady, at $825,957.  If buyers are looking for bargains, they are not finding it in the Westport condominium market.  Perhaps, that, in part, explains the precipitous drop in unit sales.  If the current unit sales rate continues, there is more than a years supply of inventory.
