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.

Happy New Year Everyone…
Westchester is one of those places where there is a New Years celebration to fit any mood. To prove the point, during the course of the day and evening I decided to keep a photo journal of sorts of my New Year’s Eve. I pulled my favorites for posting. For those who prefer a more contemplative mood, there was plenty to do and see in lower Westchester. You could walk the trails, take a drive, wonder around the towns and villages. For those who prefer to party – downtown White Plains had its annual ball drop and New Year’s party. My personal preference leans towards the more quite and reflective celebration. But that didn’t stop me from attending the annual ball drop and fire works in downtown White Plains. Unfortunately, my camera didn’t catch the fireworks – let’s just say my camera picked the wrong time to need a change of batteries. Too bad too, because the show lit up the sky to the point where it was almost like daylight for a moment. Hopefully, you will find a picture to suit your mood….
