Are there still Westchester buyers?

8 Carpenters Brook Road, currently asking $2.690 million, is reported as pending. It’s a nice enough house, but Carpenters Brook is nestled against 684 on the New York border, and I can’t see it as appealing to anyone except a current Westchester County resident hoping to escape New York taxes. If so, imagine these buyers’ disappointment when they discover that Hartford’s gone Albany.

The sellers paid $3.250 million for this in 2014, so their five-year stay is probably going to cost them around $750,000, maybe more, after commissions and taxes are subtracted from the selling price. Ow.

What do you do with ths pool space 9 months a year?
