Last week's announcement of the 2016 property revaluation brought a record number of hits to Scarsdale10583. To date, the story on the reval received 12,536 hits – that's a lot for a town of 17,000 residents. Furthermore, there are now 107 comments on the story, with residents sharing their own woes or presenting data about homes that appear to be over or under-assessed. Read it here.
Also this week, John F. Ryan, the man who was charged with doing this second revaluation in just two years, posted a report about his methodology and findings on the Scarsdale Village website. The report is complex and not easy for a lay person to follow. But you can glean some information about the methodology behind the reval by reviewing it.
One of the more interesting facts to note is that the five Scarsdale neighborhoods each were rated with a multiplier with Fox Meadow receiving the highest rating of 1.30. Heathcote is at 1.15, and Edgewood, Greenacres and Quaker Ridge are all valued equally at 1.10. Therefore, according to Ryan, here's the value of .3 acres in each of the Scarsdale neighborhoods:
Edgewood: $891,000
Fox Meadow: $1,050,000
Heathcote: $930,000
Greenacres: $890,000
Quaker Ridge: $890,000
For some the rationale behind these multipliers is perplexing.
Ryan's report supplies no overall data about changes to property values. We don't know how many assessments went up, how many went down and how many stayed the same. We can't see in the aggregate how Murray Hill fared, vs. Greenacres or Edgewood. We asked Village Assessor Nanette Albanese to provide these numbers and she said they would be posted on the Village website soon.
Readers who have been perusing individual property records have noticed that the valuations of some of Scarsdale's most desirable homes was cut considerably, while the value of more modest homes went up, They claim that this new reval has shifted the tax burden from Scarsdale's premium homeowners to the owners of smaller homes, similar to the situation prior to the 2014 revaluation.
However, since we don't have cumulative data to review, it's hard to draw any conclusions about the fairness of the new valuations, who, if anyone, is bearing more than their fair share and to determine if the complaints of those commenting on the site are valid. We asked Scarsdale's Mayor Jon Mark for his thoughts on the revaluation and he said he will make remarks on the revaluation at the Village Board meeting on Tuesday night June 14 at 8 pm. Residents who want to comment, are invited to attend and to speak.
Here are a few of the many interesting comments on the revaluation that we received. Keep in mind, that those who are content with the results are not complaining, so these comments may be not be a fair representation of residents' opinions about the revaluation.
Comment # 2
In other words the new reval just undid all the equalizing that the reval from two-years ago did to level the playing field. Those who made the most noise got the biggest breaks.
Comment #5
My Edgewood home went up over 30% since last year. Over 40% since I purchased it less than four years ago. I have done NOTHING to it except paint - basic maintenance. In fact, it is probably in worse condition because of wear and tear.
I suspect they are valuing my property (a potential tear down) based on the sale of a tear down across the street last year. Which was one house on TWO LOTS.
If this is any indication of the quality of the re-valuation, there are going to be a lot of problems. I am not paying some shyster to grieve this for me and if they reject the package I put together then I am opening a flea market in my front yard and raising pigs in the back. Sorry neighbors. I have to raise the extra nine grand somehow.
Comment #15
As I continue to look through the reassessment profile of my immediate neighborhood, it has become apparent that this new reevaluation does not work. You have 4 bedroom renovated houses assessed for less than three bedroom houses with less bathrooms and square footage on the same size property.
Tyler technologies performed a house by house detailed assessment of all the homes in the village ( total bathrooms, air conditioning, square footage, condition, property etc.). My immediate neighborhood appeared to have a fairly balanced profile after grievances were heard. This new revaluation lacks consistency.
Comment #27
As many shocked residents discovered that Village informed us that the revaluation done by Tyler was to correct the imbalance of large estates paying too little, now with an obvious flawed model, it's reverted back to previous unfair situation. Furthermore, it is causing tremendous financial and emotional distress to wrongfully overvalued house owners. What a complete waste!!! We strongly agree with the others that Village should void this ReVal. Please stop wasting our limited resources.

Coventry Court Home on the Auction Block
- Details
- Written by Joanne Wallenstein
- Category: Real Estate
The owner of a pricey home in the Scarsdale School District has made an unusual move to sell it quickly. With so many expensive homes on the market in town, and little movement for homes priced above $3 million, the Romans of 2 Coventry Court have retained Concierge Auctions to auction off their home. The home was listed last year for $4,995,000 but didn't sell and was taken off the market. On the tax roll it is valued at $5,175,000 and a similar house across the street sold for above $5 million to an embassy last year.
But last year has come and gone, and there seems to be few buyers for premium homes. Rather than sit and wait, the owners have opted to sell it to the highest bidder, setting no minimum price.
The home is now listed by Leslie Dorf of Houlihan Lawrence in Scarsdale, who will hold an open house on Sunday May 15 from 2-4 pm to allow potential bidders to tour the 11,000 square foot home with seven bedrooms and seven and a half baths. The home sits on .93 acres, and has a Shoreline pool and a dumbwaiter. Currently real estate taxes are $108,107 but they are being grieved.
According to Leslie Dorf, "The auction will take place on June 3 and will be hosted on Concierge Auctions digital platform called instant gavel. Potential buyers may have someone bidding for them by phone as well as Bidders are encouraged to submit earlier bids to receive a 10 percent rebate on the selling price if they eventually become the winning bid. For more information, visit Concierge Auctions.
There were no house sales this past week. But we have noticed that the asking prices on many homes are being reduced, so now is a good time to look for a home. See below for several houses with recently lowered prices.
