Real Estate: Where is the spring in the Spring market?

Unusually cold weather, with weekly snowstorms is causing a late start to the spring real estate market. According to brokers the weather is posing challenges for both sellers and buyers. The March Nor-easter, knocked out power to many for over a week and made it difficult to show homes, that were cold, dark and uninviting. Trees and wires blocked roads, impairing travel and not allowing Scarsdale to look its best. Even when power was restored more snow, sleet and rain may have dampened buyers’ spirits.

According to Gail Leone of Claire Leone Real Estate, "We have had several homeowners who have temporarily taken their homes off the market or have delayed putting their homes on the market due to all the March/April storms. The loss of power during the March Nor’Easter slowed the Spring Market also. One of our properties had water in the basement so that held up some showings. A fallen tree on one property lead to delays in showings because it was on the front of the property.The good news is that spring will eventually come to Scarsdale…. Historically, we have had slower spring markets but we still remain strong."  Heather Harrison of Compass added, "The snowy spring has affected turnout at open houses but the serious buyers are still coming out to see properties despite the weather. On Monday morning during the unexpected accumulating snowfall we had a buyer come from jersey city before work for a second showing on a property in Edgemont! They were a half hour late but they were anxious to see the property again and it turns it they made an offer and hopefully will result in a deal!"

Maybe Mother Nature will be more cooperative in the coming weeks.
