- Category: Real Estate
It looks like it was a good week to be a realtor in Scarsdale. There were almost more home closings than we had the space to show – but we’ve squeezed them all in –-from a $3.2 MM dollar home in Heathcote to a cozy Cape Cod in Edgewood, which sold for $610,000. From the data, it appears that Scarsdale real estate is hot.
