I have a great property on Staten Island, it's at 82 Pacific Ave, on the South Shore in Eltingville.
It's also near a beautiful park, call Seaside Nature Park, only two blocks from NYC Express bus service, and a nice walk to the Eltingville or Great Kills Rapid Transit which has an express train that only takes 12 minutes to the Staten Island Ferry.
Not to be forgotten, it's also only a short walk to the new Stop & Shop in Eltingville Shopping Center.

The Department of Energy loaned Fisker Auto $529,000,000 to develop a car that cost over $100,000. The company is in Finland, this car will be for the 1% ers. The jobs are overseas. Are we losing our minds here in the USA?
Folks, this is a great course. I just finished the first 4 modules. I can review it, or just move on. I like that I can listen at my pace and at a time best for me. Well worth the $29.00 I paid.
I printed the PDF files so I can review without going back online, I also like to see the printed word when listening to the videos. Helps me to absorb better.
Which below looks more like one of your blog posts?
I'm happy to announce that I'm finally opening the doors to my online
virtual course, Graphics for Bloggers 101. It is 10
modules and over 4.5 hours of recorded training videos that you can
watch at any time convenient to you (you can even download videos to
your mobile to watch in your 'in-between' appointment times)
I will teach you the basics and then we'll go many steps
further to help your blog pages stand out! You be able to
leverage many powerful tools (most of them free) to create
eye-catching graphics for your posts. Let's face it, images on
our pages help our visitors stay long enough to read more of what we

In this class, you will better understand how to optimize
your graphics (file size, type, and resolution). You will learn
how to create composite graphics adding multiple images
together along with overlaid caption text. You will learn how to
theme your blog with a great banner and background. How is your
blog signature and your profile page - we talk about each of these
items! Where do you get images for your posts? I have
strategies for you, both online resources and how to create and INDEX
effectively your own library of images.
Class is now open to admission! Will I see you there?

Sellers, It's Time to Accept the Reality of Our Connecticut Market
Sales statistics have just been released for Connecticut Real Estate Homes Sales for 2011 and they are not positive. Sales in Connecticut were at their lowest levels since the mid 1980's.
For 2011, sales of single family homes were 13 per cent less than the previous year and run a consecutive streak of 7 straight years of decline.
Sellers who have been in their homes for years, and had seen the value at the height of the market, have a difficult time accepting that their home, how ever grand it might be, will not be seen in the same light by buyers.
Record low mortgage rates are a lure for buyers, but they are also well aware of the prices drops. There are buyers in the market, but they are reluctant to make a purchase and then realize within months that they are already underwater. Buyers are also wary of taking on too much debt with the job market being so tight.
The days of putting a home on the market at an inflated price just to test the market are gone. There are enough home sites available online for a buyer to realize true values and to be skeptical of an over-priced home.
Sellers that want or need to sell their homes should be given all data as to recent sales that impact their home, and this included short sales and foreclosures. That is not to imply that they need to price their homes at distressed values, but a bank appraisal will probably carry a similar value for comparison and the appraiser may not be generous enough with adjustments on that home.
People look at the equity in their homes as they would an investment, especially when the market was high. Now that they are trying to sell, they feel they are giving way their savings, and in a way they are, but like any investment, it was not a real value unless they had actually sold it at it's height.
Stock prices rise and fall, and unfortunately over the past few years, home prices have fallen as well. Many a seasoned owner still has equity in their home, just not the windfall they thought they could get.
If the house needs to be sold, the reality is it needs to be priced at market value or it will just sit. If you need some assistance with selling your home, or would like to get a market analysis of your Connecticut home, give me a call at 203-206-0754, or send an email to me at edsilva@remax.net.
Selling homes is what I do, and getting a fair price for my clients is what we work to do.

Just to make sure you believe your eyes, the Seaside Nature Park in Great Kills, was not only visited by humans, but the beautiful swans and ducks also came by for an occasional tidbit from the folks enjoying the balmy day. Fifty nine degrees, can you believe it's February first? BTW, this is just walking distance from my listing at 82 Pacific Ave. Eltingville. See video below;
I went in yesterday to take a look. It looks good. Most of the same workers from King Kullen stayed on. I'm happy for that. They were a good group of workers.
