Spring Sales Trends Favor Homes Under $2MM
- Details

Realtors report that homes priced under $2 million are moving – with bidding wars on many, but the market for homes in the higher price range is proving to be slower. In the Scarsdale School District there are currently 90 homes on the market at $2mm and up, compared to 68 last year at this time, a 32% increase. The numbers show that listings are up 83% over last year for homes priced between $3 and $5 million and sales are down by 11%.
Why are so many beautiful, large homes available? There are many theories but no concrete answers. We asked Linda Dietz, an Associate Broker at Houlihan Lawrence who has worked in the field for 15 year for her interpretation of the slow market for homes priced in the upper ranges.
She shared a few theories:
First, she looked back at economic trends and surmised that the recession that began in 2008 may have caused people to stay in their homes until the financial markets improved. Now that the economy has recovered, homeowners believe it's a good time to sell and have all put their homes on the market at the same time.
She also mentioned demographics, theorizing that some of these larger homes are owned by baby boomers. The natural customers for these homes would be young parents in their twenties and thirties. However, studies show that this younger group is delaying or deciding not to move to the suburbs.
The revaluation also has an impact on the sale of these homes. The increase in taxes on larger homes may have hastened the homeowners decision to sell. For buyers, the increase in taxes makes the entire price tag higher and may make the entire price point higher over time.
Dietz has found that younger buyers favor new homes with open layouts, large family rooms and lots of light. Many of the older homes in Scarsdale have classic layouts and lack the features that attract these young buyers. In addition, many of the older homes are almost a hundred years old and in need of renovation. If a new home is comparably priced, these buyers will favor new construction.
That said, Dietz points out that if you are looking for a beautiful home in Scarsdale, now's the time to take a look. There is ample inventory and many attractive homes to buy.
Laura Miller, also of Houlihan Lawrence concurs. She says, "The change in the $2.5-3MM range isn't as dramatic as $3-5MM which is up 82.6% since last year in Scarsdale. One issue is the inventory in this price range is often older homes requiring updating. Buyers today seem to prefer the newer construction. They don't have an appetite for a project. Secondly, I think the town revaluation hit some of these older larger homes hard. They were under assessed. Now the owners would rather sell than pay the higher taxes. So we have more inventory for both those reasons. Having said that, I think there are deals in the works on at least some of these listings."

New homes seems to be growing in width as well as height. We noticed this home under construction on Brewster Road in Greenacres. The roofline looms over the neighboring homes, dwarfing its neighbors.
We wondered if there were height restrictions on Scarsdale homes and asked Village Planner Elizabeth Marrinan for clarification. She said that yes, "The zoning code regulates the maximum permitted height to 35 feet as measured from the existing or proposed grade (whichever is lower) to "a point midway between the peak and the plate of the highest section of roof".
We also asked if the grade level could be raised by the builder, which is sometimes done using fill from the excavation of the original house. Surprisingly we learned that it's permissible to raise the grade, "as long as the grade changes are part of the approved storm water and building permits." That seems to be a very vague standard.
Can anyone tell if the roof peak on this home exceeds 35 feet? If so, let us know!
Then and Now: 
A modest Tudor home at 42 Huntington Avenue, on a third of an acre next to the Greenacres School is being torn down. In its place a 7-bedroom home with 5.1 bathrooms and 10 foot ceilings on the first floor is going up. The original home sold for $1,050,000 in November 2014 and the asking price for the new house is $3,150,000.

Luxury Rentals in Scarsdale

No one can argue that construction is booming in Scarsdale. Take a walk, a bike ride or drive around town and everywhere you turn there are cyclone fences surrounding building sites, foundations being poured, framing underway and TYVEK on view. Some homes are being built on spec by developers while others are custom projects for pre-designated buyers. But there's another type of development going on in town as well. ELK Homes is buying up properties in Westchester and Connecticut, renovating or rebuilding them and putting them on the rental market. That's the case with an expansive new home going up at 207 Fox Meadow Road where a split level home is being turned into a 7 bedroom, 6.5 bath home that will be available in July at $17,500 per month.
ELK is not new to Scarsdale where they own about 10 homes that they rent out for short or long term rentals.
Gary Hirsch, Chairman of ELK explained that there is a good market for luxury rental homes with 24-hour property management services. The homes are rented by people who relocate for jobs, those who want to try out the suburbs, folks whose homes are being renovated and others who don't want to commit to buying. According to Hirsch, there is demand for "special" homes and the company has high occupancy rates.
What other homes do they own in Scarsdale? Their website shows that 59 Fayette Road is currently under construction as well as 96 Garden Road. Additional ELK homes for rent include 8 Lebanon Road, 9 Longview Drive, newly renovated and expanded homes at 23 and 31 Wynmor Roads and 20 Old Lyme Road which is available for rent at $13,000 a month.
