There are ten homes listed on MLSLI as being sold in July of 2009. That’s a mighty big number. So, I’m going to chop up my Sold Homes post for July into three parts. There are a lot of interesting houses that sold during that month and I don’t want them to get missed or lost in the shuffle.

50 Paumanake Ave

  • MLS# 2133440Zillow Page
  • Sold: $480,000 – 7/1/2009
  • Prior Sales: none
  • 3 bedrooms – 1.5 bath – Colonial
  • Taxes: $11,696 – Village Taxes: $884

 

I liked this house quite a bit and wrote about it here, back in January. Originally listed for $549K, it then dropped to $499K in March. I thought it might go for closer to $450K, but $480K seems a reasonable number.

This is a much better, much more livable house house than some of the others that we’ve looked at in the Indian Section. Even though the selling price is a bit higher than I’d like, it still makes a good comp I think.

24 Kensington Rd

  • MLS# 2112017Zillow Page
  • Sold: $625,000 – 7/9/2009
  • Prior Sales: none

I don’t pay much attention to these houses in the North Babylon school district. There does seem to be a significant discount once you go north of the Babylon Village schools.

I love these old Babylon homes. It’s way out of our price range, but I’m a bit sorry that I didn’t get to see it before it got sold. Looks like it needed some work, but you can’t beat that 19th century charm, wraparound porch and big lot
