What can you buy in White Plains, New York for $400,000? I'll tell you. 

$400,000 could get you a great 2 bedroom 2 bath ranch on a quiet street with a stucco/tudor exterior, beautiful pre-war appointments inside, such as a gorgeous woodburning fireplace, hardwoods, wood trim, and glass doorknobs like the one we just closed on last week. 

The home sits on a lot with a flat rear yard, deck, front patio, and manicured landscaping. It has a finished walkout basement, a formal dining room, den, updated baths, and a solid kitchen with lots of storage and a skylight. It also boasts central air, sprinkler and security systems, and a new roof.

The owner took meticulous care of the property over the years and it showed in the home going for full price in a multiple bid situation. We wish our seller clients Marty and Tricia the very best in their move down south now that they got their well cared for home sold with our firm. 

THis one is gone, but if you want to find a nice home like this one in White Plains or anywhere else in Westchester for that matter, get yourself a free Listingbook account and search the MLS like an agent for free. 

For years, co ops have been considered the starter home of Westchester, with plenty of inventory in great areas for under $200,000. This 1 bedroom apartment is no exception. It is in a pet friendly building with an updated itchen, huge living room, lots of closet space, hardwoods, and 1 block away from Mamaroneck Avenue and all the conveniences of downtown White Plains. We just closed on it this past week, and as you can see, $162,000 not only gets a conveniently located home, it buys a beautiful one.

We held my listing at 8 Harwood Ave White Plains open yesterday, and I thought I'd take the opportunity to create a walking tour of the home, a marketing strategy which has been getting good feedback for me lately. I have blogged recently about the better results I have been getting at open houses; this was no different. I was greeted by a cooperating agent who presented an offer to me at the open house, which I have never had happen in 15 years in this industry. 

As it stands now, we have three offers on the property. 

The tour is one take and very informal; the point is to give you a feel for what it is like to walk through the house, not have high production values or be overproduced. That said, I think future tours will be steadier and easier to watch- the project is a work in progress. I'd redo this one, but I think it won't be needed after this week. 

Both homes that I have produced walking tours of this past week have had offers come in.

What does $168,000 buy in White Plains these days? That will get a very nice 900 square foot unit at the Gaylord cooperative in White Plains, such as the one we just closed this past week. This apartment  is a very spacious Junior 4 with brand new kitchen, granite breakfast area & windows. The Gaylord is a luxury doorman building with beautiful deck courtyard. The bathroom has separate tub & stall shower. The apartment has hardwood floors & many closets. Another great plus is that the modern laundry in house! As with most Junior 4's, the dining area can also be used as office or extra bedroom. Another wonderful thing is the building's close proximity to downtown White Plains- walking distance! Talk about convenience! This one is gone, but we'll have others.
