Westchester Real Estate Blog Community Posts, here.
Westchester County is located immediately north of New York City. We have quaint and lovely Hudson River towns to the west, cosmopolitan areas to the south, acreage and horse farms to the north eastern quadrant and everything in between. We have world class dining. Parks, boutique shopping in our villages and several large shopping malls coupled with an excellent school system.
Our City's, Town and Villages all have their own websites. There are many hamlets throughout Westchester County such as Hartsdale, Chappaqua, Armonk that do not have their own websites. You will find information for Hamlets on the websites of the Towns they are located in. Several Towns are also Villages such as Scarsdale and Mt. Kisco. The Cross Westchester Insterstate 287 is the dividing line between Northern and Southern Westchester County.
I have lived in several areas of Westchester County as well as having sold properties in White Plains, Hastings-on-Hudson, Chappaqua and currently have a listing in the Ardsley School District (to name a few) and am familiar with most of these communities, questions please call me at 914-907-1922 or email me at miriam@miriambernstien.com with any questions. If you are interested in previewing properties in any of these communities I would be glad to show them to you.

About Appraisals >Professional Appraisals
Before your mortgage application is approved, the lender will order a professional appraisal of the home to make sure that the agreed-upon selling price is justifiable based on the current market value of the property. The cost of the appraisal will be based on the complexity of the appraisal report and the time required to complete it.
A professional appraiser will choose the appraisal technique that is applicable to the particular property to arrive at an unbiased opinion of value. One approach is to look at comparable homes in the area that have sold within the last six months. If there are a number of similar properties that have sold recently, the appraiser's job is easy. It is more complicated to arrive at the appraised value if your home is located in a rural area or a diverse neighborhood.
The appraised value will usually be very close to the sale price. If the appraisal comes in lower, the real estate agent may be able to provide the appraisers with additional information on recent sales which will result in increased value.
