Committee for Historic Preservation to Weigh the Demolition of Eight Properties at September 29 Meeting
- Details
- Category: Real Estate
Uncertainty from the pandemic, the election and climate change don’t seem to be affecting developers and homeowners in Scarsdale who are taking advantage of Scarsdale’s weak preservation laws to raze more homes. The Scarsdale Board of Trustees had planned to reconsider preservation and land use laws prior to the COVID outbreak, but that study was shelved when the crisis hit.
On Tuesday September 29, the Committee for Historic Preservation will meet to consider the demolition of eight homes. One is 11 Dolma Road, which was considered at a meeting on June 30 and held over to the September meeting to give the committee more time to walk the property and analyze the historical data presented at the prior meeting. The Village retained expert Andrew Scott Dolkhart who contends that the home warrants preservation. Attorneys from Cuddy and Feder, retained by the new owners contend that the home does not meet criteria for preservation and that the committee should grant Sarah and Steven Binetter permission to take down the iconic home built in 1928.
Also up for consideration are 80 Griffen Road, built in 1910 and 28 Quentin Road built in 1937.
Take a look at the documents and join the Zoom at 7 pm on September 29, 2020.
Here’s the complete list of properties on the agenda:
394 Heathcote Road Demo house built in 1957
28 Quentin Road Demo house built in 1937
10 Harvest Drive Demo house built in 1955
2 Sage Terrace Demo garage only built in 1921
80 Griffen Avenue Demo house and garage built in 1910
22 Innes Road Demo house built in 1939
27 Butler Road Demo house built in 1958
11 Dolma Road held over from June 30, 2020

Real Estate: Home Sales Forecast for 2020
- Details
- Category: Real Estate
2020 is shaping up to be a good year for home sales in Scarsdale. Nancy Shaw Chochrek, brokerage manager at Houlihan Lawrence shared the following about sales year to date and her estimate for the year. She says that many deals are pending, meaning more newcomers are expected in town soon!
According to Chochrek, "The predictions change daily as more home go into contract. As of Tuesday, we had 184 closed sales in Scarsdale school district for 2020, compared to 196 for the same time in 2019. However, we also have 85 pending deals versus only 46 pending deals at the same time last year. Our pending sales (deals in contract) are way up, which reflects the high buyer demand. Of course, some of these deals may not close until 2021 so not as simple as adding the sales and pending sales together.
The attached is predicting total year-end sales of 239, but based on the number of pending sales I am confident we will outperform that number and even surpass last year's total sales. Inventory remains low (currently down 24% year over year), and demand remains high. Well-priced homes (especially if they are move in ready) are selling quickly, although buyers are still looking for value, especially if the home needs updating. We are seeing the same story throughout Westchester county: low inventory, high demand, and prices up. (Keep in mind that in Scarsdale median price dropped a total of 17% in 2018 and 2019, so the increase of 9% only partially closes the gap.)"

Home Sales: Just in Time for School

Homes in Scarsdale and Edgemont continue to sell this week as buyers move in before the start of the school year. Topping the list is the home of Bob Berg who sold his home in Crane Berkeley for $2,775,000. Berg, who is currently running for Village Trustee and is a member of Scarsdale’s Board of Assessment Review, often complained that he could not sell his own home due to the high taxes, but it appears that the beautiful home overlooking the pond in Crane Berkeley found a new owner.
Commenting on the sale Berg said, "Notwithstanding the surprising COVID bump in real estate sales starting in mid-Spring, this is still not a roaring real estate market. We bought our magnificent house on 32 Tisdale Road in 2002, more than 5 years before the real estate market peak in Scarsdale. Yet we still sold at a loss, 18 years later, despite being in a wonderful house, in one of the absolute best locations in Scarsdale. It’s finally possible to sell at the high end of the market, after years of illiquidity, though many sellers who bought during the ten year period 1998-early 2008 will still suffer losses when they do sell.
The price point that’s really hot is the one that usually is - $1.25 million to $1.5 million, especially if the property has been updated. In the upper end, buyers are going for new builds, even in mediocre locations, and even if the quality is inferior to a house like mine. It’s very interesting to me how “inefficient” the market really is in pricing properties in Scarsdale during these pandemic times. Frantic buyers fleeing the City have no clue as to flood zones, other problem locations, neighborhood associations, proximity to amenities, and focus in my opinion far too much on the superficial newness of the house. But that’s what makes markets.
The high property taxes unquestionably affected the price buyers were willing to pay for the house, lowering the eventual sales price appreciably, especially once the SALT deduction was capped. Interestingly, the buyers are long-time Scarsdale residents who understand the quality of the construction, the remarkable spaciousness of the rooms, and the unique private location within Crane Berkley, with its underground utility lines, only a short walk to the Village and train. We wish them much happiness as they join a rather lengthy list of owners of this notable Scarsdale property. We have moved across the Village to Black Birch Lane since our kids are now independent, young adults, and we no longer need nor want to maintain such a large house."
