Here are the rest of the houses sold in Babylon in August 2008. This a followup to this post on home sales in the first half of August. There’s not a lot here that we’d have been particularly interested in. This makes a total of 11 homes sold in August. With 95 homes in MLS for Babylon, that works out to about an eight and half month supply.

56 The Crescent

  • MLS# 1961943 – Zillow Page
  • Sold: $618,000 – 8/28/2008
  • Prior Sales: None Listed
  • 4 bedrooms – 3 bath – Colonial
  • Taxes: $14,736 – Village Taxes: $1,712

This is a big, boxy house on a good-sized bit of land south of Montauk, but not on the water. It’s been on the market for a long, long time. We used to run by this house all the time and see the for sale sign.

82 Whalers Cove

  • MLS# 2095650 – Zillow Page
  • Sold: $299,399 – 8/25/2008
  • Prior Sales: None Listed
  • 2 bedrooms – 1.5 bath – Condo
  • Taxes: $4,747 – Village Taxes: $489

Whaler’s Cove Condo. Not much info about these condos on Zillow and the listing doesn’t even come up on Property Shark. I still haven’t managed to get into an open house for one of these so that I could see inside, but I’ve seen enough pictures to get a good idea of what it looks like.

Seven of these units, including this one, have sold in the last year.

613 Morrison St

  • MLS# 2060528 – Zillow Page
  • Sold: $265,000 – 8/20/2008
  • 06/04/2007 – $411,286
    04/30/2004 – $425,000
    8/27/1996 – $140,000
  • 4 bedrooms – 2.5 bath – Splanch
  • Taxes: $10,194 – Village Taxes: None?

This house looks abandoned in the listing picture. It’s appearance is noted as as “good”, which likely means rotting drywall and roaches the size of watermelons. It’s out of the village proper, but still in 11702 and the Babylon school district. Zestimate $427,500.

The 2007 sale is marked as “not included in Zestimate”, so that may be a foreclosure. Someone bought the place for a hefty price in 2004 and just let it deteriorate.

113 Portal Ct

  • MLS# 2079461 – Zillow Page
  • Sold: $495,000 – 8/19/2008
  • Prior Sales: None Listed
  • 3 bedrooms – 2 bath – Colonial
  • Taxes: $9,400 – Village Taxes: none

The house in in 11702, but out of the Village and with North babylon schools. It’s got a big, oddly-shaped lot. For us, anything with North Babylon schools is probably right out.

21 Meade Ave

  • MLS# 2002896 – Zillow Page
  • Sold: $740,000 – 8/5/2008
  • Prior Sales: 06/06/2005 – $349,000
  • 5 bedrooms – 3 bath – Colonial
  • Taxes: $14,377 – Village Taxes: $1,740

New construction – 2006. The 2005 sold price of $349,000 was probably just for the lot. Not bad for a good-size, if long and skinny, lot south of Montauk in a high-priced area. It’s a big house and it was done with high end stuff, so you have to know that it cost more than $400,000 to build it. Somebody took a big bath on this place.
