Sold Homes In Babylon – October 2008 – Addendum

This one slipped past me and wasn’t included in the October sold property report. So here it is, presented for your enjoyment and for my bizarre sense of completeness. This isn’t a place that I’d particularly be interested in, but it’s important to include it for reasons that you’ll see below.

Just FYI, the sold properties search on MLSLI now seems to be working properly on all of my computers. I’m mildly pleased about that. Now I don’t have to sneak on to Debra’s laptop to assuage my real estate addiction.

Yes, I’m an addict, but I can quit any time I want.

95 Woodsome Rd

  • MLS# 2104883 – Zillow Page
  • Sold: $550,000 – 10/31/2008
  • Prior Sales: 05/18/2001 – $375,000
  • 4 bedrooms – 3 bath – Expanded Ranch
  • Taxes: $16,106 – Village Taxes: $1,565

This is a really surprising price. This is a big house – four bedrooms, three baths, ten rooms – on a third of an acre south of Montauk. It’s just east of Little East Neck Road South, which puts it in the Babylon school district, not to mention in a pretty upscale area of the village.

I don’t remember looking at this listing when it was for sale. I have no idea what the inside looks like. Even still, scoll down the list of properties for sale in Babylon on MLSLI and check out the $500K to $600K range. There’s nothing remotely comparable to this house. It’s a serious comp-killer.

    Wow! We looked at this last year. It was on the market for 7 something…I can’t remember. It was really nice inside, although only has technically 2 bedrooms…it also had a funky makeshift 2 bedroom apartment. It actually needed some configuring to be a usable 4 bedroom.

    I’ve been able to view the sold properties now too. However, I’ve been trying to say no to my frequent visits to MLS. We were unsuccessful in trying to sell our home so I’m afraid we’ll have to put off our move to Babylon. It’s sad, after a year of looking at homes, we were only interested in a handful. (And could afford even less!)

    I’m sorry to hear that, Babylonian. Where are you living now?

    I’m not nearly as excited by my house hunting these days. I figure we’ll wait until at least the spring to buy something. Maybe six months of bad recession will shake some prices loose.

    Gary,

    Now I’ve got Freddie Mercury singing “Killer Comp” in my head. Thanks.
