BizCT Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 My grandfather is going to be selling his house in Mahopac (Putnam County). If anyone is interested, let me know. It'll likely hit the market around August 15th. Original owner, house was built in 1970 New 275 Gallon Oil Tank installed in 2022 (above ground) New driveway in 2021 New Trex Deck in 2016 New Garage doors & openers in 2016 New Well Pump in 2016 New Furnace in 2010 New Siding and Roof in 2006 Half acre property and flatter than a pancake. On the Westchester/Putnam County border, but Mahopac (Putnam County) schools. The interior is outdated, but clean. Hardwood floors underneath all the carpeting upstairs. 4 bedrooms, 2 and 1/2 bathrooms Colonial. I believe it's around 2300sqft and has a large unfinished dry basement that can be easily finished off if desired. $389K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Sounds like a nice house. What’s the assessed value and taxes currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Was there a radon inspection done during the summer months and is a copy of the inspection available? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Sounds like a nice house. What’s the assessed value and taxes currently?Idk how assessments works. When I lived in Yorktown it was assessed at $10K. My neighbors were $9K (no pool). There’s math calculations behind it all. Taxes I believe are $10-12K range before STAR. His were much lower because of enhanced star because of his age. Once I get the details I can post. It’s a great first home for someone as is or a fixer upper interior-wise to turn into a forever home Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a builder , land developer , real estate investor . I did a quick analysis on that house on competing listings , pending listings , and sold properties on your GGrandfathers house when you !st posted it was going up for sale . Based on square footage , age and condition , I estimated that it was underpriced between 25 to 40 thousand dollars . I actually came up with it should of been listed between 420 to 429 thousand . It would still have been a good deal at my higher price . Most pending and sold houses I found in that price range were 1700 to 2000 sqft . This house beats those in size at 2194 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-light Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Been flipping houses and such in the past. Just by the amount of real estate signs going up and being stagnate I would take best offer and move on. I isn't like May or June when the sign went up and in contract was there a day later.

Ended up with 98 showings in 4 days, 31 offers over asking. Best and final deadline in noon today.
