The number of new homes being sold in Westport has been trending upward since the economic upheaval of 2008. In 2013, (a big bounce back year), there were 73 new homes sold, and in 2014, 60. That compares to 57 in 2005, 82 in 2006, and 69 in 2007. Due in part to the high costs of land in Greens Farms and Compo, there have been fewer new homes built in our neighborhoods. The numbers in the Compo Beach area on the MLS do not reflect homes that were completely rebuilt or built new after damage from Sandy or Irene.
