(The following market analysis was submitted by Anne Moretti, licensed Associate Real Estate Broker with Julia B. Fee Sotheby's Realty.)
The summer of 2022 began on an anxious note for many buyers and sellers of real estate in Scarsdale. This summer, it’s not about the pandemic; it’s about the volatile economy and the rapid cross-currents that make buying and selling a home challenging. Current sellers are disappointed that they missed the frothy prices seen earlier this year, and buyers are stressed over higher financing costs. As one real estate attorney said, she needs a wheelbarrow of Xanax for all of the anxious buyers and sellers

Seriously though, we need to have perspective. During the first five months of this year, we experienced one of the fastest escalations in home prices ever seen in Scarsdale. By mid-May, things started to cool down, with bidding wars abating and most homes selling closer to their asking price, instead of way over. A slowdown was inevitable. An acceleration of prices so quick and extreme is unsustainable. Adding to that, three Fed rate hikes (with more to come) pushed mortgage rates higher, leaving sub-3 percent loans a relic of the past. As buyers now recalculate their increased home financing costs, they’re also dealing with significant equity losses in their stock holdings.

Despite these negative headlines that grab people’s attention, there are healthy fundamentals underpinning the current market. Firstly, we are still in a sellers’ market, but it’s more balanced now. There’s a new normal settling in, as sellers price their homes realistically, at levels closer to those of 2020-2021, and buyers recognize that mortgages are still relatively cheap.

Homes in Scarsdale continue to hold their value, and although DOM (days on market) has extended noticeably, prices are still above pre-Anne Morettipandemic levels. As it was in 2020-2021, when our sale price/list price ratio was near or at par. The spike of 108% sale/list price ratio and 14 DOM that happened during the first half of 2022 were historical aberrations caused by a severe lack of inventory and buyers transitioning to the suburbs, and eager to lock in low rates. Right now, housing demand continues to outstrip supply. The number of active listings is barely over half of our usual inventory at this time in the year, and the number of signed contracts (pending sales) as we finished the second quarter was 40% higher than available homes to buy. We began the third quarter with only 79 homes for sale and 110 homes in contract. Based on annualized sales volumes, inventory remains low, at less than 3 months of supply, and buyers are still actively out looking at houses and signing contracts.

Some interesting statistics tell the story:

In summary, as selling prices consolidate, both home buyers and sellers will find comfort in a less frenzied market. It’s a great time to buy or sell a home in Scarsdale now. The pace is more relaxed, prices are good, and mortgage rates are still a bargain. It’s all a matter of perspective, as I can remember mortgage rates hitting over 18% in 1981, just before I started my first job on Wall Street. Now those were stressful times!

This letter was sent to Mayor Jane Veron by local resident and realtor Jonathan Lerner:

Dear Mayor, It was approximately thirty years ago at a Village Trustee meeting that I first floated the idea that Scarsdale should establish a Preservation Fund to the trustees.

Now more than ever our community should embrace this proven funding method to preserve our Scarsdale Village open spaces and add to our community additional land that may be set aside for public gardens, playing fields, dog parks, woodlands, etc.

A CPF is simply a real estate transfer tax of 2% on each transaction occurring at time of sale. This is a one-time tax that the buyer of real estate is required to pay when purchasing improved or vacant property.

The model used by Five Hampton Towns and may be known to readers is called the Peconic Bay Community Preservation Fund. Since its inception in 1999 it has generated $1.9 billion. Their modest 2% tax under the CPF expires in 2050 and has been highly successful. More than 10,000 acres of land have been protected that otherwise would have been lost to development.

A Community Preservation Fund also helps to keep taxes down. When property is left undeveloped there is no demand for more public services such as water, police, schools and roads.

I request the current Village Board to consider my idea and urge you to take the leadership role to bring this to life.

Respectfully,
Jonathan Lerner
