Discussion about
Someone here will have some knowledge more than me to shed some light on this: We're looking to buy in westchester (scarsdale, et al). Not many houses available. Broker tells us not much inventory but there are a lot of buyers. A few years ago before the crash there were lots of for sales. Now, very little. WTF is going on here? Is it that people aren't putting houses on market since they are waiting to recoup as much as they can (waiting for better days ahead), or is inventory really at very low levels?

My good friend sells houses in Scarsdale.
There is VERY LOW inventory.
Once he puts a listing on the market, he gets multiple offers the same day.
Things are going for over ask... Prices are up, but not quite at pre-crash levels.

It's a crazy time to be buying in Scarsdale. Good luck.

Check out Edgemont. It's right next to Scarsdale, has the same commute 30 min commute into GCT, same Scarsdale address, similar demographics and a similarly well-regarded school district (albeit a smaller one, which some people prefer).
