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.

There are nine listings of land parcels ranging in price and size from $3.4 million for 258 acres to a one acre building lot for $49,000. 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.

1420 Route 83 — 5 bedroom/2.5 bath home on .46 acres which sold in December 2023 for $186,000. After renovation another sale was recorded at $407,500 in February 2024 to Clare Cooper Hall.
