2020 Ends With the Biggest Sale of the Year

40 Park Road Aerial ViewThere’s robust demand for homes in Scarsdale, especially for those priced at under $1.5 million, coveted by young families moving to town. But there also have been a fair number of sales of luxury homes this year, commanding impressive prices. Earlier this month the second home sale topping $5 million was recorded on Colby Lane.
