Like the rest of the Westchester NY real estate, Larchmont homes for sale have been hit fairly hard over the past year.  Nevertheless, even though the village cooperative market is still lagging somewhat the single family home market appears to be in recovery mode.   And why not?  In general, La...

For those of you who have been reading my blog on AR for a while now, might be wondering why I suddenly stopped posting.  For those of you who already heard the news  and have sent condolences, I want to thank you and I will reply personally soon. I’m sad to say that my father lost a three year ...
