Fewer Sales, but Buyers Remain Motivated

As the October air turns cooler and the leaves begin to fall, the local real estate market may be settling into a slower autumn pace, with just two homes sold this week. But buyers are still moving quickly when the right property comes along: both homes sold above asking price and spent fewer than 10 days on the market. With inventory still historically low, the limited number of sales may reflect a shortage of available homes rather than a lack of buyer interest. Check out these two recent sales and the featured listings below to see how the Scarsdale and Edgemont markets are unfolding.
