MILLERTON — The four February transfers in the Town of North East show that improving and “flipping” properties continues to be profitable as buyers look for homes that need no renovation or contractors look for attractively priced properties to improve.

Four single family homes are available from $352,000 to $1,665,000. Also listed are a mobile home and the Millerton Village Hall which reportedly has a buyer over the asking price of $249,777. No properties are publicly listed for sale in the Village of Millerton.
