This Sunday you'll see some familiar scenes in the New York Times Real Estate section. The "Living In" column features us... Scarsdale that is, discussing our history, schools, the Village, and of course home prices which they claim have been battered by Trump's changes to the tax laws.  The subhead of the article says, "Residents of the Westchester town, who pay a lot to live there, dispute its reputation as “a bit snooty.” And prices have been coming down (slightly)." What do you think? Are we snooty? Read more and admire the beautiful photos here:

What’s happening at The Heathcote, the 14-unit apartment building on the site of the original Heathcote Tavern at the Five Corners? The developers originally offered the units as co-ops but were unable to sell them. They changed course and rented the luxury apartments and the completed units are now all rented at rates ranging from $6,000 to $14,000 per month.

According to Dawn Knief of Compass Real Estate, the developers have applied to convert from coop to condo. If approved the taxes will not change unless the Village enacts the Homestead Act. Knief added, “Each unit comes with two parking spaces and a storage unit. There is a small gym in the building and of course, 24/7 concierge.” 

The corner building is under construction with three units. The exterior of the building, which once housed the Heathcote Tavern, was maintained for historical preservation. These three apartments will be available for preview in January or February and for rental thereafter. Only one or two year leases will be offered since the developers expect to be approved for condo status within a year and then will seek to sell the apartments again.

Thanksgiving week heralded the biggest home sale of the year to Scarsdale. Two properties which had been previously merged into one 4.91 acre estate spanning Dolma and Mamaroneck Roads sold for $7.8mm. The 8,391 square foot Tudor style house at 11 Dolma Road was built in 1928 and includes six bedrooms. The second property at 100 Mamaroneck Road has a one bedroom sports house with 1/2 court basketball, gym, family room, billiard room, bedroom, two full bathrooms and a wine cellar. The property includes a pool, pool house, putting green with two tee boxes (up to 150 yards) and a tennis court. Taxes on the 3.26 acre lot on Dolma Road are $151,363 plus $56,209 on the 1.65 acres on Mamaroneck Road for a combined annual bill of $207,572.

Commenting on the 2019 market, Associate Real Estate Broker Elise Flagg says, “The market continues to hum along...sellers have realized that they must price their house realistically in order for buyers to see value. As a result buyers are responding. And interestingly enough during this holiday time which is not normally the time when buyers make an appearance...they are here. We have explained to our sellers that this is a time you will get "buyers" not "lookers." And the sellers that take this message to heart are seeing showings. As previously reported buyers have come to terms with SALT and still see value in the Scarsdale community. Savvy buyers know houses that have been sitting on the markets may be more negotiable. One area of the market to watch that has definitely seen an uptick in the last few weeks is the new construction category priced $2.5M-$3.2MM. There have been an abundance of showings and deals getting done. Good for all.”
