April Showers Bring a Flurry of Home Sales

There were many home sales this week in both Scarsdale and Edgemont. With the Governor’s Orders preventing home visits, the question arises … are people buying the homes sight unseen? From video tours or via Zoom? Who knows? But we’re hearing that young families are hankering to get out of cramped apartments, so perhaps the crisis is driving people out of the city earlier this year.

Take a look at what sold:

18 Drake Road: Bright and sunny like-new Colonial features a 2-story entry foyer with formal living room and dining room. The heart of the home is the oversized family room that is open to the chef's kitchen and breakfast area.
