As home sales are slow this time of year, here are some recent real estate stats to consider: In January, 2011, only five homes sold in the Scarsdale school district, with a median sale price of $812,000. A 2,352 square foot home on Valley Road, built in 1964 was the highest priced sale for January and sold for $1,090,000 after 115 days on the market. A modest Edgewood home at 956 Post Road sold for $588,900 after 105 days on the market. In comparison, in January 2010, thirteen homes sold in Scarsdale. Did inclement weather discourage home buyers this year?
