June Sales and Deals

The number of homes going to contract in the area stayed steady from May to June. But only two previously-featured Hot Properties went to contract, both of which I featured last November. The Croton house is notable because the final asking price is actually $25,000 higher than the original asking—and I see no evidence of any work that was done to the place since it was first listed. Meanwhile, three of the Hot Properties that sold last month were only on the market for a short spell, and the other two were sitting for over a year. What a wacky market!
