I know I promised this to you over the weekend, but things have been beyond busy here a HIB headquarters. Big things happening here and I’ll be posting about it in the weeks to come.
In the meantime, there were 13 homes sold in Babylon in August 2009 according to MLSLI.com. As I did last month, I’ll be splitting this into three separate posts so the individual homes won’t get lost in the mix.
Here are the first five. I didn’t personally see any of them, so my commentary is of dubious value at best. Feel free to click on the comments link and add your two cents.
138 Shore Rd
- MLS# 2128976 – Zillow Page
- Sold: $527,500 – 8/4/2009
- Prior Sales: none
- 3 bedrooms – 2 bath – Cape
- Taxes: $9,844 – Village Taxes: $985
We didn’t see this one, but it’s a nice-looking house, well finished inside with a nice, new kitchen. All that plus a water view. Looks like good deal to me.
539 Gwynn St
- MLS# 2173108 – Zillow Page
- Sold: $350,000 – 8/4/2009
- Prior Sales: none
- 4 bedrooms – 2 bath – Cape
- Taxes: $9,360 – Village Taxes: $853
Debra visited this one back in April. You can read her report here. All in all, probably not a bad price at all for a decent-sized house like this on a relatively big piece of property, even one that needs a bunch of work.
267 Fire Island Ave
- MLS# 2167483 – Zillow Page
- Sold: $400,000 – 8/4/2009
- Prior Sales: none
- 4 bedrooms – 1 bath – Cape
- Taxes: $7,919 – Village Taxes: $857
This one kind of came and went. There were some comments on it back and forth on some older posts.
59 Whalers Cove
- MLS# 2181684 – Zillow Page
- Sold: $320,000 – 8/12/2009
- Prior Sales: none
- 2 bedrooms – 1.5 bath – Condo
- Taxes: $3,654 – Village Taxes: $???
One of two Whalers Cove condos sold this month. $320K seems to be the price point now.
23 Cockonoe Ave
- MLS# 2181942 – Zillow Page
- Sold: $585,000 – 8/13/2009
- Prior Sales: 07/24/2006 – $482,500
- 3 bedrooms – 2 bath – Colonial
- Taxes: $7,425 – Village Taxes: $565
Is it just me, or does this seem like a lot of money for a nice 3 bed, two bath ranch colonial? Taxes are way low and the lot is not especially big. Did anyone see this?
The house in the pictures is a Dutch Colonial..not a ranch. Cockenoe is a prime location in the Indian Section.
Oops. My brain thought colonial but my fingers typed ranch.
Still odd for a house to go for $100K over the 2006 price.
