AMENIA — September was a busy month in Amenia with 11 recorded transfers of residential, commercial and land parcels. Seven of these sales were in the affordable range under $350,000 while the remaining four, two houses and two building lots at Silo Ridge, were over $2 million with nothing in between.
Looking at the two most expensive homes sold highlights the disparity in price which perplexes many buyers, sellers and real estate professionals. A stately home on Smithfield Road in the desirable Shekomeko area of Amenia on 28.7 acres sold for $3.675 million, almost half the price of a similarly sized home in Silo Ridge on Wood Duck Road on .74 acres which sold for $7 million. Both properties sold for over their assessed values — Smithfield for 55% more, and Wood Duck for 24% over assessed value.
In mid-October, 21 single family homes were listed for sale with 11 under $500,000 and the most expensive at $20 million, according to OneKey MLS.
