The sales stats for the first half of 2016 are in, and home sales overall appear to be unaffected by the revaluation in Scarsdale. For the first half of this year, 94 homes sold, as compared to 95 for the first half of 2015. However in Edgemont, where a revaluation also took place, sales are way off with 30 sales in the first half of this year as compared to 48 at this time last year. The median sale price for homes in Scarsdale is up as well – rising 14%, from $1,378,000 to $1,573,000. In Edgemont, the median sale price is down 10% from $1,085,500 to $981,500.

However, there are more homes on the market this year. In Scarsdale there are 168 active listings, with 144 homes on the market at this time last year. Edgemont has 60 homes on the market versus 54 in July of 2015.

According to local realtors Elise Flagg and Laura Miller, international news could affect the local market. "Brexit will likely have a long term impact on the economy. We do not know if U.S. real estate will be flooded with investors looking for a stable place to park their money, which would send down mortgage rates again and improve prices, or whether Brexit-fueled uncertainty could damage consumer confidence which would be a net negative for U.S. real estate. We are hoping that rates will drop again, and buyers will want to purchase now to lock in these super low rates as this opportunity may not last long."

It's not your imagination – work at the former Heathcote Tavern building at 2-4 Weaver Street has come to a halt and the large signs for Twin Oaks Construction have been taken down. According to Village Manager Steve Pappalardo, Twin Oaks is no longer the general contractor on the job and a new firm has been retained and will restart the work shortly.

This is just the most recent setback on a project with a long history. Even before Scarsdale10583 was founded in 2009, a group called the "Heathcote Coalition" fought development at the site for years, and urged trustees not to sell a small strip of land adjacent to the property to the developers in order to block their plans. Claiming environmental, aesthetic and traffic concerns, they stalled approval for the project but ultimately a term sheet was signed and construction began, albeit slowly.

Steve Oder, the developer of the property, says a "misunderstanding about procedures and operations" with Twin Oaks caused a delay of several months. They hope to be back on track with the new general contractor who is starting work next week. Plans call for the completion of a model in the late fall and for the entire project to be done before next summer. Stay tuned.

We also noticed a general slowdown in building, with many vacant home sites waiting for buyers. Speculative developers purchase lots, tear down the homes and are now sitting on their investments. As these lots do not include homes, their assessments have dropped steeply and the village is suffering a loss in revenue.

For example, at 31 Murray Hill Road, the home has been torn down and taxes on the vacant lot have been reduced from $63,012 in 2015 to $22,792 in 2014. 18 Heathcote Road, a 5.39 acre property is also vacant. The developer had plans approved to build an expansive new home and take down 33 trees. But while they wait for a buyer, taxes which were as high as $195,144 in 2014, have now been reduced to $44,096. At 14 Reimer Road, the owner received permission to tear down the home in December, 2015. The 1.32 acre lot is now vacant and taxes have been reduced from $60,776 to $21,980.

So in addition to the loss of historic homes, the Village of Scarsdale is suffering a loss in tax revenue from the demolition of homes by speculative builders.
