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# 2128976Zillow 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# 2173108Zillow 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# 2167483Zillow 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# 2181684Zillow 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# 2181942Zillow 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?
