Welcome Your New Neighbors to Town

Home sales continue at a strong pace this week – so we asked a few local brokers to comment on the volume. Jason Wilson, Brokerage Manager of Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s in Scarsdale said, “This year the mild winter, record low interest rates and strong economy has created a 12 month real estate cycle. Real estate is no longer just the spring market. In just two weeks, sellers will have a second chance to sell their home in the fall market allowing buyers to take advantage of record low rates. For sellers in Scarsdale who will soon will be affected by the 3.8% tax, this is their opportunity to sell in 2012.”

Also looking toward the fall, is Mark Nadler, owner of Prudential Centennial Realty in Scarsdale said Larchmont. He said, “I anticipate an active fall market as buyers and sellers continue to evaluate the business news and continue to hear positive signs about the real estate market in general. If consumer confidence improves, the fall market will be strong. If not, people will become more focused on the upcoming elections and economic news from Europe will dominate the general climate and buyers and sellers may chose to wait until 2013 to decide whether to complete a real estate transaction.”
