A Hint of Spring and a Warming Scarsdale & Edgemont Housing Market

As temperatures finally edged upward this week, the local housing market offered its own hint that spring may be just around the corner. Five homes closed in Scarsdale and Edgemont, a small but encouraging burst of activity that mirrors the warmer weather and is often the first sign that the spring market is beginning to wake up. If this early momentum continues, the recent closings may be a preview of a busier season ahead as buyers and sellers begin to enter the market in greater numbers. You can peruse the five homes that sold in our town in the last seven days and the two featured listings below.
