AMENIA — October was a busy month for Amenia with ten transfers; three in Silo Ridge and seven outside the club. Town of Amenia prices remain modest with a median sale price of $320,000. A comparison of property tax assessments versus sales prices in October is revealing while the courts, lawyers, town and owners continue to litigate the level of assessments in Silo Ridge. The total assessed value of all seven town properties transferred in October was $2.7 million, 14% over their combined assessed value. In contrast the sales total of only three properties transferred in Silo Ridge totaled $13.7 million — 69% over their assessed value. Resales are now happening in Silo Ridge with handsome returns over the previous price paid as noted below.
