If you love great food and a cool, elegant vibe, you will want to try out Il Pellicano!
We enjoyed a fabulous dinner there Saturday night The Funghi (with papperdelle, brandy cream, wild mushroom, and truffle oil) was to die for and we loved the trendy vibe. Host, Colton and server, Fallon were the best!
Great food, service, and scenery!
The scenery outside the windows is just as pleasing as the interior, with the full downtown green and gazebo in view, all the passers-by, and during the holiday season, all the festive downtown lighting.
If you are looking for a place to go this New Year’s Eve, they are offering a five-course meal and three seatings!
You will need a reservation.
Whenever you do decide to go, be sure to call ahead, because they are generally booked up well in advance.
If you would like the scoop on this and other area restaurants, (my take anyway), reach out below.
Where did the market go in November? The Westport and Fairfield town-wide sales pace in November, though below that of last November 2020 coming off the Covid spike, was still above that of 2019. Inventory dipped below two-months of supply in Fairfield and stayed at three months of supply in Westport. Low inventory continued to be the most significant limiting factor, and multiple-offers were still happening with many listings. The median sale price in Fairfield was 12% below November 2020 numbers and was up 25% in Westport. Days on market averaged 49 days in Fairfield and 63 in Westport.
Purchasing a home now can award instant equity in addition to exponential savings over the life of a mortgage if home values continue to appreciate and rates begin to creep up as projected by economic experts. Waiting until next year to buy a home could result in a more expensive purchase. Homeowners that sell now can benefit from a larger buyer pool than next year when homes will be more costly for buyers if interest rates increase. Sellers have much less competition in the winter months than during the spring market, and buyers in the winter are very serious.
If you are like many others who want to sell but are still on the fence, this winter still offers an excellent opportunity to make your move. Interest rates and inventory are still low, and buyer demand is still extremely strong. You are right to seek an expert guide to help you put your strategy in place to reach your goal!

Looking at how the market did in October… The Westport and Fairfield town-wide sales pace in October slowed a bit from the previous month, consistent with the seasonal trend, and was also down significantly compared to the Covid spike in October 2020, but the sales pace was still above the same time of year in 2019. Inventory remained at two-months of supply in Fairfield and three months in Westport. Low inventory continued to be the most significant limiting factor in these markets. The median sale price was within 2-3 percent of October 2020 numbers and remained significantly higher than in 2019. Market time was still brisk ensuring a constant refresh of available homes for sale.
Industry experts predict continued appreciation of property values and rising interest rates next year. Purchasing a new home now can award instant equity in addition to exponential savings over the life of a mortgage. Waiting until next year to make a purchase can result in a more expensive purchase. Homeowners that sell now benefit from a larger buyer pool than next year when homes will be more costly for buyers if interest rates go up.

Looking at the market activity in August… The Westport and Fairfield town-wide sales pace in August showed an up-tick from the previous month of July, and was also up from unit sales in August 2019, despite a dip in numbers compared to the Covid spike in 2020. This is likely due to many people taking advantage of vacation opportunities in July. The local housing markets continued with strong sales and high prices in both Downtown Fairfield and Greens Farms Westport during August.

More homes have been coming on the market and some are still getting frenzied offers. However, agents are seeing fallout after some bidding wars due to buyer regrets as well as some resistance to the high prices from buyers who are choosing to wait on the sidelines.
If you are going to sell now, I recommend you price your house to match recent sales and not over-shoot so that you attract the current buyers and don’t risk turning them away. Check out the scoop below!
