What’s up with the listings at Trump Tower White Plains?

Ruthmarie Hicks — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 08:48:30 +0000

Late last week, I logged onto the MLS and received quite a surprise. No less than 10 new listings at Trump Tower and an additional 3 new listings at the Ritz Carlton. Some were at very competitive prices.

So what gives?

Did 10 families living at Trump suddenly say “I’m outta here?” No. All save one of these listings trace back to Mr. Cappelli’s headquarters in Valhalla. The last units that have not been sold are on the market now. Most of these units were on the market at various times over the past four years. This time, the asking price has been reduced significantly. They range from $565k – $1.449 million.

The Downtown White Plains Condo Market:

Added to the 10 listings already on the market at Trump (most of them resales) this doubles the number of listings currently on the market. Since only five units have sold so far this year – with two currently under contract, these new listings create an inventory overhang of about 26 months at Trump. Taking the downtown collectively, including Trump Tower the Lofts and the listings at the Ritz Carlton – the high end downtown condo market in general has about 19 months of inventory overhang.

People trying to sell to sell their units in the resale market have a tough road ahead. This amount of inventory can definitely be an issue because buyers will have plenty to pick from and can afford to be choosy. If you are selling under these conditions you need to price your unit realistically. For buyers, this is an opportunity. The prices have been trending downward. With this inventory on the market, and prices lowered -the entry point at Trump has never looked better.

White Plains NY Housing Market Statistics –Second Quarter 2010

Ruthmarie Hicks — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:03:37 +0000

White Plains New York homes have been following patterns seen throughout county with Westchester county homes for sale continuing to drop in value. Sales volume was up during the period that the tax credit was in place. But like much of the county, sales volume has has dropped across the board to 2009 levels since after the expiration of that stimulus.

For Q2 2010 prices for White Plains NY homes for sale were down from the previous year. Single family homes – which took the brunt of the housing decline last year – had less of a correction this year. The good news here is that as far as single family homes in White Plains goes – we may be still trending down, but the steep declines apparent between 2008-2009 are not present. The story is different and more discouraging for condos and coops.

Single Family Homes in White Plains:

White Plains NY homes for sale declined 4% from Q2 of the previous year to and median price of $559,000 – (down from $583,000 in Q2 2009). The price range went from $245,000 for a short sale to $1,300,000 for a high end home. The prices – particularly at the higher end are still trending downwards. Stiff competition from areas such as Scarsdale, Rye and Larchmont – which have had major price corrections are perhaps contributing to further declines in the higher end single family market of White Plains. Previously out of reach for many, these other markets are back on the high end home-buyer’s radar.

Fueling the competition with other communities are the property tax hikes that have taken away the tax advantage that White Plains homeowners could point to in previous years. Property taxes have risen disproportionately in White Plains over the past several years and single family homes have been hit hard. The present trajectory of taxes on White Plains single family residents is unsustainable and must be reigned in or further declines in value directly associated to this issue are likely. I hope some of the city officials are reading this…

There appears to be a bit more than 7 months of inventory overhang on the market – which puts it into the buyer’s market territory – but just barely. This is a big improvement from past quarters and is a good sign. Sales volume is up significantly from 2009 – but the effect of the tax credit may create a false sense of security. The 3rd quarter numbers on volume will be informative. But contracts and pendings indicate that the market has maintained momentum – with the caveat that price declines are continuing.

Condos in White Plains

Median Condo prices in White Plains NY are following the downward trend of Westchester condos generally. Prices are off 10% from the previous year with a median price sitting at $355,000. At the lower end of the spectrum was a 1 BR condo with street parking in the downtown area for $160,000, while the high end was $1,300,000 for a unit at the Ritz Carlton. Volume was up over 2009 due to the tax credit, in fact it nearly doubled. But contracts and pendings indicate that we are rapidly heading back to 2009 levels. The inventory overhang is high if you look at current contracts and pendings as a measure of future activity. If that’s the direction sales are heading – there is an 18 month inventory overhang. The Q2 sales results indicate an 8 month inventory. Reality probably lies somewhere in between with at least a year of inventory on the market.

Coops in White Plains

Westchester coops represent an important entry point to the housing market. Even with the tax credit prices tumbled 22% over the previous year. The median price for Q2 2010 was $185, 000 down from $238,000 the previous year. Sales volume was up significantly – over 40% due to the tax credit, but current contracts and pendings show a marked decrease in activity – back to 2009 levels. The inventory overhang ranges from 10-18 months depending on whether you look at Q2 sales or current contracts/pendings. Like White Plains condos – there appears to be well over a year of inventory on the market.

All in all, condos and coops throughout Westchester still have a way to decline. Single family homes which declined far further earlier in the correction could be poised to recover or at least stop declining. However, much of that depends on White Plains getting its house in order and getting property and school taxes under some kind of control.

Funky Floral Arrangements in Westchester NY

Ruthmarie Hicks — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 09:52:33 +0000

Over the past couple of years, I’ve been able to see and capture some very unique floral arrangements in lower Westchseter NY. Here are some photos of my top 3 picks. The flowers themselves though beautiful can not be described as “funky.” However the …shall we say ..”planters” in each of these cases is truly unique. My all time favorite is the truck.

I also rather like the “bathtub” arrangement. I found his in the back of building just behind the Tarrytown Music Hall. The antique cast iron tub makes for quite a “planter.”

Both the truck and the working boot arrangements are from Carlson’s Floral and Gift. The greenhouse is located at 625 Dobbs Ferry Rd. in White Plains, right near the Sprain Brook Parkway access. If you think their funky arrangements are intriguing – you’ll be blown away by their traditional arrangements!

Update on the Bengal Tiger – Downtown White Plains NY

Ruthmarie Hicks — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 06:15:12 +0000

As posted yesterday, the Bengal Tiger – a landmark Indian restaurant in downtown White Plains went up in flames yesterday. The cooking oil that was everywhere combined with 100 degree temperatures and flammable chemicals from the adjacent dry cleaners caused the fire to rapidly escalate into a 5 alarm fire. Over 160 firefighters from White Plains and neighboring communities responded to the blaze. The roof collapsed about 5 hours after the blaze began. The fire is now “under control” but not over. 25 were overcome by smoke inhalation and the heat and taken to area hospitals.

I drove by this evening to see what had happened. I was going to walk the streets, but decided against it as there were too many bystanders as it was and I didn’t want to be underfoot. The few shots I have were taken from my car, but you can still see the horrific damage. At least half that block is wiped out. The presence of White Plains’ finest and bravest was very dominant – as well it should be.

There are ancillary issues to this fire. One would be that it is a fire under investigation. The Journal News indicated that the restaurant had filed twice for bankruptcy protection in recent years.

Another issue is the down-sizing of the police and fire departments. White Plains residents faced an eye-popping 19% tax increase or layoffs. The unions did not appear interested in negotiating a pay cut or a cut in benefits and something had to give. The mayor and council took a line down the middle through layoffs and increasing copays for retirees and a 6% tax hike. Many are calling for the return of the laid off fire fighters. When I went on-line to see what was going on in the local on-line news – you could hear the hate on both sides. The anger from the union end and the anger from the taxpayers end. I must say here and now that anyone who thought the fire fighters didn’t “work hard enough” need serious psychiatric help. It is entirely possible for a fire to get out of control in that heat with the grease and chemicals creating the “perfect storm.” But I also have to say that White Plains resident’s have seen their taxes nearly triple in the last 12 years. The union demands have been and continue to be totally unaffordable and something had to be done. I will address this issue in a future blog.

The other burning issue for me lies down the road to rebuilding. This area is close to the city center White Plains. You can see Trump Tower White Plains in the background – just a few blocks away. Residents from residential areas have been footing the bill for that beautiful big downtown because it has yet to pull its own weight. So the infrastructure costs of maintaing a city with previously unheard of 42-story high-risers has fallen squarely on the single family homeowner. However, the landlords of the buildings on East Post and down Mamaroneck Ave. towards Main St. have been panting to build UP. Trouble is we can’t afford more handouts to builders. The fire may be an excuse to open up the discussion once again. Be prepared for a fight between the downtown and the south end where most of the residential homes are.

The landmark Bengal Tiger goes up in flames

Ruthmarie Hicks — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 08:45:30 +0000

One of the famous downtown White Plains restaurants went up in flames today as a fire – which started in the basement spread to engulf the entire restaurant and take out half a block on East Post Road in White Plains NY. The location, just off of Mamaroneck Avenue in the heart of the downtown, complicated matters as smoke engulfed the area with temperatures near triple digits. The five alarm fire demolished the Bengal Tiger and three other businesses – effectively destroying a half a block of the downtown area. 60 firefighters were from several communities were battling the flames. The oppressive heat sent 25 fire fighters to the hospital due to smoke inhalation as well as heat exhaustion. According to City Hall, the cause of the fire is under investigation. Tonight the fire is under control, but not out. It took over six hours to bring the flames under control. A man hole cover also exploded nearby complicating matters. In spite of the proximity the two fires are unrelated.

Area residents are being asked to conserve water as the fire – though under control – is still not extinguished.
