SCARSDALE, NY, July 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Located just a few miles north of Manhattan, Westchester County is truly a barometer for the luxury real estate market of homes in the United States. Real Estate Guru, Jonathan Lerner, Broker of Five Corners Properties located in Scarsdale, NY reports that the 1st half of the year results for 2011 show a mixed bag for the area. "The good news is that the average price for a home ticked upward about 1.5%, said Jonathan, however we saw home sales decline about 14% as roughly only 1,700 homes sold compared to the previous year when nearly 2,000 properties were purchased."
We are still in a buyers market and all the indications still show that there is some resistance to purchase based on buyers thinking that perhaps the market will drop a little bit more. With mortgage rates remaining favorable, it appears that the market has already hit bottom and is now remaining stable. The real estate community expects that we will stay within current pricing levels through the end of this year. This actual will be a good thing for the housing market with future buyers looking back to the year 2011 as one of the best years for home opportunities. We have seen homes sell rather quickly in the market if they meet one of two basic criteria; realistic pricing based on comparable sales or the homes offering the WOW factor - being designer showcases that are ready to move right in. With the average home price in Scarsdale now over $1,300,000 our company sets out to provide a higher level of service to our clients. Five Corners Properties is a leading real estate firm in Westchester, dealing exclusively with homes of distinction.
