How were home sales in 2023 distributed across our five elementary school districts? From the data, it appears that sales were relatively even – with a high of 46 in Quaker Ridge and a low of 34 in Greenacres. Commenting on the numbers, Jennifer Fischman of Houlihan Lawrence said, "We seem to sell houses at about the same rate in all 5 areas, with fewer in Greenacres and Edgewood, which makes sense since they are smaller areas."

And the prices? Fox Meadow came in with 45 sales at a media price of $2,675 ,000 with Greenacres the lowest of the five with a median price of $1,875,000.

In size, Heathcote had the largest homes with a median square footage of 4,643 in contrast to Edgewood with median square footage of 2,228.

Whatever the neighborhood, it is evident that the cost of moving to a home in Scarsdale has risen dramatically over the past few years.

Here's the data:

Limited inventory and increased interest rates were just two of the factors that affected the market for homes in Scarsdale and Edgemont in 2023. With few homes on the market, and the cost of financing them on the rise, potential buyers had a hard time finding what they were seeking this year. And for those wishing to sell their homes, limited inventory of suitable homes for empty nesters, and the interest rates for new mortgages caused many to remain in their existing homes for another year.

Realtors are hopeful that interest rates will fall and help to get the market moving this spring.

Here are the numbers for 2022 vs. 2023.

In Scarsdale, the total number of single homes sold fell 26% from 278 in 2022 to 205 in 2023.

The median price decreased only slightly from $2,000,000 in 2022 to $1,975,000 in 2023.

Edgemont fared better. The number of homes sold fell only 14% from 96 in 2022 to 83 in 2023.

And the median price rose from $1,275,000 in 2022 to $1,350 in 2023.

Nancy Chochrek who is the managing broker at the Houlihan Lawrence office in Scarsdale had this to say about the market:

"Due to limited inventory, 2023 was once again a seller's market with many homes selling over ask in competitive bid situations. I am cautiously optimistic that we will see an increase in inventory in 2024. (The entire baby boomer generation will be over 65 and ready to downsize or relocate, if they have not done so already.) However, due to pent up buyer demand, I expect it will continue to be a seller's market and prices will remain strong.

Scarsdale and Edgemont have always been sought after due to the well-regarded schools, manageable commute, and proximity to NYC, and I certainly don't see that changing. With more workers back in the office most days, the short commute is once again near the top of many buyers wish lists. Not to mention the fact, as those of who grew up here or live here well know, it's just a really wonderful place to live."
