September Real Estate Market Report

Here is the September real estate update from local realtors Laura Miller and Elise Flagg:
After an extended period of calm, we saw some volatility in the US markets in August due to China's devaluation of the yuan. While interest rates fluctuated, they ultimately remained at stable levels, and we should all remember the long-term nature of real estate investments. There is a lot of speculation as to whether the Fed will raise rates in September but jumbo rates have remained at current levels of just below 4%.
We feel that the market volatility is unlikely to affect short-term prices in Scarsdale and Edgemont. Buyers are still looking to move to the suburbs, escape private school tuition burdens, enjoy a quick commute to work and benefit from our fantastic public schools.
The Scarsdale market is a little slow this year over last year at this time. We have over 31% more houses on the market than last year at this time and 174 houses sold year-to-date versus 189 last year. Up to $1MM, we had a 3% increase in houses sold but $1-1.5MM decreased nearly 12% and $1.5-2MM decreased over 21%. The $2-2.5MM market increased in houses sold over 17% this year while $3-5MM decreased over 26%.
The Edgemont market has the same number of active listings as this time last year. However, there was a nearly 13% increase in the number of houses sold year-to-date this year versus the same period last year.
The Edgemont market is hot! The big change in number of sales was in the $700-1,000,000 range where we saw a 32% increase this year over last year.
The median prices in Scarsdale and Edgemont are slightly down as well. After Labor Day, showings historically increase as the hunt for homes begins again.

Though Scarsdale property records and the real estate listing say it was built in 1928, the historians who did a historic resources survey in 2012 say it was built in 1905. The house, which was commissioned by Samuel Woolverton, Vice President of the Hanover National Bank and the historic resources survey for Scarsdale named it a candidate for possible historic preservation.
Here is what the survey entry says:
"This grand wood house on an expansive site is modeled on a Southern plantation. The 2.5 story main mass of the house has a monumental portico supporting a triangular pediment with an oval window divided into a complex pattern by curved mullions. Entrance is through a door capped by a fanlight with a web pattern. The house has a hip roof with dormers and is articulated by multi-pane windows. " The identity of the architect is unknown.
The current home has a gated entry, 18 rooms, 10 bathrooms, a 50-foot pool, spa, cabana and a tennis court. It was renovated in 2004.
The home is owned by Shlomo Freidfertig who is a prominent developer and has built many homes in Scarsdale.

Village Manager Provides Status of 2014 Tax Grievances
- Details
- Written by Lori Gertzog
- Category: Real Estate
So, what happened to all the grievances filed after the 2014 real estate tax revaluation – were taxes reduced? At the August 11th Village Board meeting, Village Manager Steve Pappalardo reviewed the status of all the tax grievances filed in 2014.
He reported the following:
The total number of grievances filed was 950, and the Board of Assessment Review considered all and reduced taxes for 163 of the applicants.
Following their review, 730 appeals 
were filed by applicants who did not receive reductions and as a result, 469 of these were settled, 30 went to trial and 19 received reductions.
146 certiorari cases were filed. According to Pappalardo, these are more involved legal proceedings that take years to settle. Out of those 146 cases, only one has been settled and 145 are pending.
The Village lost $154 million in assessed value across the appeals, which is a reduction of about 1.87%. The Village will make up this tax revenue loss by increasing taxes across all residents.
