18 Bowman Drive Update - Sells at $1.41ml

Back on June 16, 2009 I posted the note "18 Bowman Drive: Another Market Opportunity". The former owner contacted me and reminded me what a decent house this was.

As an update, the property sold for $1.41ml on March 26, 2010.

As I mentioned in my earlier note, this was new construction (in '07), with over 5k sqft per builder (4,291sqft per tax card) with +/- 1.39 acres usable land on back lot, but impacted by water tower and cemetery. The property can become a good home for someone. Plus for anyone driving into Westchester or the City, the location is great. It is less than 1 mile to the Merritt / Hutchinson Pkwy.

18 Bowman Drive: Another Market Opportunity

If you don't mind living beside a 114 foot high and 50 foot in diameter water storage tank, here is a market opportunity:



18 Bowman Drive in King Merritt Acres (1 acre zoning) was built new in 2006/07; has never been occupied; and remains unsold. It will be going to highest and best bid on June 29th. The builder likely has over $2.2mln into the property. The land was purchased on Oct 2005 for $975,000 and 4,300sqft (per tax card) of living space was built, which, at $300/sqft, equals $1.29ml or all-in cost of $2.265ml. The house itself offers much: 5bd/4.1ba, in approximately 5,000sqft (builder #) of "new construction" and a wrap-around porch. There is even land to build a pool. But again, there is that water tower.


The property is currently listed at $1,688,995, which is down from the original list of $2,695,000 in Feb 2007. The property will go to highest and best bid over a minimum that the list agent will announce. Summary, tough location; nice house. What will it clear for in this market?
