Sales and contracts; alas, Chieftans continues to underperform, Havemeyer is ablaze, and Mead Point remains, well, Mead Point.

8 Chieftans Road has sold for $4.370 million to a Pelham buyer. The owners paid $3.425 million in October 25, which is a better, though still sorry performance than it’s seen in the past. Sold in 1998 for $5.7 million, subsequent sales over the years have seen $4.7 in 2004, and several more; it’s never gotten back to that $5.7 1998 figure.

Further east in Havemeyer, 20 Old Wagon Road, listed at $3.978 million on June 4th, is reported pending. New construction, it replaced a 1958 home that sold for $1.529 June 16, 2025, in a bidding war that began at $1.125.

And in Mead Point, 533 Indian Field Road has sold for its asking price of $19.9 million. On the market for just three days, I imagine that its listing broker put out a discrete word to a select group of agents, alerting them to the property’s imminent availability and advising that their clients keep their pocket change handy for ready use. If that upsets you, if you feel that you lost your chance to own this waterfront estate, well, so did I. Dang it, it’s back to Ole’s Creek for me, at best.
