🚨 Land Shocker: The $250,000 Mistake Happening Right Now in Yorktown 🚨
May 16, 2025 | By Thomas Santore

You won't believe what I found on Drive #7 this week.

A vacant parcel in Yorktown—untouched, overlooked, and priced like it's 2015—just quietly changed hands… and nobody blinked.

Why does this matter?

Because that land is surrounded by homes valued at $1.2M+. Because it's got town water, gentle grade, and backs to forever-wild. And because the buyer? They weren’t a builder. Not a local. Not even an agent. Just a couple from Queens with a tape measure and a dream.

I walked that lot last year. I begged clients to go see it. But no one wanted to “walk dirt” in winter.

Fast forward five months—off-market sale. I ran the numbers last night: the buyer just made, conservatively, $250,000 in instant equity.

You don’t need a shovel-ready site. You need vision—and someone to tell you where to look before the bulldozers show up.

Absentee owners are good targets if you are looking to find something for a buyer.

Nice move on someone's part.  You are so right, in needing look just a bit past what is showing, right now, on vacant land, or lots.  Make it a good weekend ahead.  m
