I admit there are bank owned properties that have been slashed to get them off the bank's books. Yes, there is one not far from moi that was$1.795 and now $999K - which is exactly what it is worth in this 'hood. But those are rare cases. RARE! Most of the homes in foreclosure are still priced damned close to what they were a year ago. Yes, there are those tract homes out in BFE/Inland Not-Much-of-an-Empire that are down from their original $700K range into the $595K range. But is that really 41%? And I have to say, if I could pick up a $1M home for $590K, I'd start talking to may father again. But that ain't happening either!

The kitchen is an eyesore and just makes me uncomfortable. <BR/><BR/>I'm guessing those French doors are off center because they were probably added later and placed so that there was symmetry with the window above, which is weird because the front window placement is asymmetrical (which I think is not uncommon on Dutch colonials). Or I could be wrong about all this, but it's just weird. <BR/><BR/>And the dining room, especially those chairs...wow.

It's just Bedford (or Bedford Village, if you're really old-school and insistent on distinguishing from the uncomfortably close low-rent neighborhood of Bedford Hills). I've begrudgingly lived in the area for 40 years, and this "Bedford Corners" name is just a real estate agent marketing ploy to, um, I guess make the area seem even richer and snottier, which is a lofty goal indeed, seeing as Bedford has excelled at snobbery since the 60s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-14325842173514886482008-09-26T06:22:00.000-07:002008-09-26T06:22:00.000-07:00I think it's beautiful.
