Homes in Scarsdale and Edgemont continue to sell this week as buyers move in before the start of the school year. Topping the list is the home of Bob Berg who sold his home in Crane Berkeley for $2,775,000. Berg, who is currently running for Village Trustee and is a member of Scarsdale’s Board of Assessment Review, often complained that he could not sell his own home due to the high taxes, but it appears that the beautiful home overlooking the pond in Crane Berkeley found a new owner.  

Commenting on the sale Berg said, "Notwithstanding the surprising COVID bump in real estate sales starting in mid-Spring, this is still not a roaring real estate market. We bought our magnificent house on 32 Tisdale Road in 2002, more than 5 years before the real estate market peak in Scarsdale. Yet we still sold at a loss, 18 years later, despite being in a wonderful house, in one of the absolute best locations in Scarsdale. It’s finally possible to sell at the high end of the market, after years of illiquidity, though many sellers who bought during the ten year period 1998-early 2008 will still suffer losses when they do sell.

The price point that’s really hot is the one that usually is - $1.25 million to $1.5 million, especially if the property has been updated. In the upper end, buyers are going for new builds, even in mediocre locations, and even if the quality is inferior to a house like mine. It’s very interesting to me how “inefficient” the market really is in pricing properties in Scarsdale during these pandemic times. Frantic buyers fleeing the City have no clue as to flood zones, other problem locations, neighborhood associations, proximity to amenities, and focus in my opinion far too much on the superficial newness of the house. But that’s what makes markets.

The high property taxes unquestionably affected the price buyers were willing to pay for the house, lowering the eventual sales price appreciably, especially once the SALT deduction was capped. Interestingly, the buyers are long-time Scarsdale residents who understand the quality of the construction, the remarkable spaciousness of the rooms, and the unique private location within Crane Berkley, with its underground utility lines, only a short walk to the Village and train. We wish them much happiness as they join a rather lengthy list of owners of this notable Scarsdale property. We have moved across the Village to Black Birch Lane since our kids are now independent, young adults, and we no longer need nor want to maintain such a large house."
