High Mortgage Rates Impact Scarsdale Home Sales
- Details
- Written by Joanne Wallenstein
- Category: Real Estate
Third quarter real estate statistics confirm what realtors have been saying all year. The combination of high mortgage interest rates and a shortage of inventory has resulted in a diminished market this year.
As of today, October 5, 2023, the 30 year fixed rate is 7.7%, making it far more expensive to buy a home today than it was at this time last year when the rates were hovering around 3%. The interest rates make it more difficult for current homeowner to move – as some have paid off their own mortgages or hold mortgages at the lower rates. With fewer people moving there is less available inventory for buyers and the cycle continues.
According to a report from Julia B. Fee/Sotheby’s, here’s the data for Scarsdale and Edgemont.
In Scarsdale, there are 34 homes on the market, a decrease of 24% from this time last year.
Year to date, 165 homes have sold as compared to 234 last year, a 29% decrease and the median sale price, $1,970,000 is virtually even with last year.
In Edgemont there are 16 homes on the market, a 41% decrease from this time last year. 68 homes have sold this year vs. 87 last year and the median price has risen 4% from $1,275,000 to $1,320,000.
Experts are predicting a decline in the mortgage rates that should impact the real estate market in the coming year.

Real Estate: A Bifurcated Market
- Details
- Written by Jordi Wiener
- Category: Real Estate
It’s an interesting time in the real estate market. There is indeed a shortage of homes available – only 31 in the Scarsdale School district were on the market as of earlier this week. And many of those are at very high price points.
From our analysis we see that of the 31 homes on the market:
-14 are listed at more than $4 million
-18 are listed at more than $3 million
-24 are listed at above $2 million
In the $2 million and under price point there are only 8 homes for sale or 26%.
And eight or 26% of the homes are new construction.
We asked Anne Moretti, Associate Broker with Julia B. Fee Sotheby's for her thoughts on why so many of the homes on the market are in prices out of reach to most buyers. She pointed out that there are actually currently another 22 pending sales of homes priced below $2 million.
About the wide disparity in prices of home remaining on the market she said, “It’s a bifurcated market where listings below $1mm come and go in the blink of an eye while the upper end has about a year of inventory so those houses typically can sit for much longer. Also seasonality is a greater factor for homes under $2 million as the timing of school schedules motivates those homebuyers to wrap up their home purchases in the spring and summer. Although buyers of all price ranges are out looking now, sellers in this sector tend to hold off on listing their homes as they await the spring market. Ironically, statistically, the ratios favor home sellers at this time of year, despite the lower number of buyers since competing inventory is lacking. As you point out, we have a lopsided market right now with disproportionately large number of high end listings on the market.
Commenting on the market in general she said, “There is an unprecedented lack of inventory currently and sales are impacted by high mortgage rates.”
