The weak housing market came to Westport with a vengeance, in March. Only 15 single family homes sold this month vs. 30 in March 2007. Days on the market, at 85, dropped significantly,
to less than half the market time, of the previous month and well off a year ago's pace. This,
plus the high sale to list percentage, may well be reflective of a market in which the more conservatively priced properties are the ones selling.
