Real estate: Growing disparity in Amenia

Real estate:
Growing disparity in Amenia

Built in 1850, this three-bedroom, two-bath home on 4942 Route 22 is located in the center of Amenia and zoned for mixed use. Owned by the same family since 1875, it was formerly the home of the Jenkins Bakery. It sold Nov. 10, 2023, for $260,000.

The Millerton News will periodically publish a listing of residential real estate sales in eastern Dutchess County and adjacent towns.

November real estate sales in Amenia showed the extreme bifurcation of local housing prices compared to homes and land in the Silo Ridge Club. There were nine sales recorded in Amenia in November: three in Silo Ridge, which were all above $4 million; and six outside the club, all below $260,000.

These results show the important difference between average and median prices in evaluating a real estate market. The average price of an Amenia property in November was $2.26 million compared to the median, or midpoint, price of $250,000.

Unlike most towns, Amenia has an ample inventory of properties. Silo Ridge has condos starting at $2.9 million; building lots for $2.86 million; and estates for up to $15 million. Outside the club, in the town, there were nine single-family homes actively listed for sale ranging from $339,000 to $8 million; and 15 parcels of vacant land for $14,999 to $6.9 million.
