Amenia home price gap widens

AMENIA — Even without the inclusion of high-priced homes at Silo Ridge, the same wide price gap persists in Amenia home sales.

In the last 60 days, seven properties have been closed. Five of those homes were on small lots, selling for $310,000 and below.

One 153-acre land parcel sold for $800,000, and one historic farm complex for $1.83 million. Starting this week, recent real estate activity will only show sales of publicly listed properties and will exclude private transfers which have previously been included.

In the case of Amenia, most sales within the Silo Ridge Club are private and will only become available once Dutchess County resumes reporting on all property transfers, private and public, in July.

This wide price gap is even more apparent in homes on the market with six residential properties listed for over $2 million, while 11 homes were available under $500,000 with nothing in between.

13 Glen Hill — 3 bedroom/ 1 bath home on .51 acres sold on March 19 for $245,000.

3367 Route 22 — 2 bedroom/1 bath home on .45 acres sold on March 24 for $245,000.

212 Old Route 22 — 5 bedroom/3 bath triplex in Wassaic on .22 acres sold on March 25 for $170,000.

13 Lango Road — 3 bedroom/1 bath home on .5 acres sold on March 25 for $310,000.

426 Old Route 22 — 152.9 acres of land sold on April 4 for $800,000.

460 Sinpatch Road — farm complex on 174.96 acres sold on April 9 for $1.83 million.
