port jefferson real estate: Do you know what the state of the market is? - 08/21/08 11:23 PM
There are currently 89 homes for sale in the Port Jefferson/Belle Terre community consisting of 11777.  17 homes went under contract or sold in the last 90 day period.  In the same time last year, from May to August 2007, 28 homes were sold.
If we listen to the news, it is doomsday all around......the important thing to remember is that if you did not purchase your home in the height of the market, you still have plenty of appreciation for your home! 
If you have to sell now, there are a few things to keep in mind:
1) Pricing is … (0 comments)

port jefferson real estate: Buyer's Agent - 02/09/08 07:19 PM
As I finish up my day, I wanted to take a moment to address buyer's agency.  On Long Island, it is not commonplace to represent a buyer.  I don't know why, it just has not caught on here.....
As I met the couple for the first time, we went over agency.  They are first-time home buyers and did not really know about the whole home buying process, let alone NY agency law.
Realtors, please take the time to explain what the different agencies mean.  Every person is entitled to be represented in a transaction.  I know many of those in my profession who still do … (0 comments)

port jefferson real estate: Home Pricing - 05/20/07 09:11 PM
This is one of the biggest obstacles to selling real estate in a timely manner. Too often a home seller will place emotion ahead of logic in determining the selling price of a home. Perhaps the prospective seller has the impression that the market is ripe in their area or that the home is worth far more than it really is.The bottom line is that there is only one way to determine the true value of the home and that is to actually sell the home. After all, it is only worth what the open market will bear. You can have … (0 comments)

port jefferson real estate: Financing Approval Fundamentals for Real Estate - 05/20/07 08:56 PM
Today we will consider the fundamentals of Real Estate financing approval. The first thing that we need to review is what a bank looks for in a prospective borrower. There is a simple way to remember the 5 key factors a bank looks at when considering a loan. The acronym is MICCE. M is for Money. The bank wants to know if the borrower has sufficient funds to close. The bank looks at your available cash reserves or savings to ensure that you have enough for a down payment, if necessary, and if you have enough money on hand to cover … (2 comments)

port jefferson real estate: The Real Estate Career - 05/06/07 10:07 PM
The market is absolutely going through a transition. I would not classify it as a bubble burst but a transition just the same. Some may be considering a career change but may think that it is too late to jump into the profession. If you think as such I am here to tell you that you are sadly mistaken. It is my opinion that the people who have entered the market during this multi-year run up and buying flurry will have a harder time maintaining a level of success in the business than would someone with no experience entering the market … (0 comments)

port jefferson real estate: To Buy, To Sell, To Rent? What to do? - 05/06/07 10:02 PM
 
For all intents and purposes, I am certain that I can find a multitude of people who should do all of the above.....However, I think that with all of the information that is in the news today, it can be very confusing.Should I sell now? Are we going to see prices rise or prices fall further? What a seller needs to keep in mind is that real estate is local. Quite a lot of what we are hearing is from different parts of the country, and has no affect on our local market at all. I would suggest that you speak … (0 comments)
