Realtors Anticipate a Very Active Summer

16 Paddington RoadThis in from Elise Flagg at Houlihan Lawrence in Scarsdale: Though we are in the midst of a pandemic we are seeing an extremely frenzied market. At the start of this health crisis many sellers opted to remove their homes from the market which is why our current real estate inventory is low. There has been a 45% drop in inventory from 207 active listings at this time last year to only 113 this year. However sales are strong. Year to date 63 homes in Scarsdale sold vs. 67 at this time last year. The median price has risen 16.3% to $1,530,000.

It appears that people in the city are realizing the effect of this virus on their daily lives and making the decision to leave the city. We’re hearing that coordinating in home schooling with a remote work environment was proving too difficult for families.

As a result we are seeing well priced properties on the market get offers immediately and deals are getting done. Sellers realize this may be the time to list their house and although many homes can only be shown virtually, some sellers are allowing buyers to view their homes with the proper PPE.

Buyers and sellers are very considerate of each other and they are making the best of an arduous process. We anticipate a very active real estate market this summer.
