23 Comments on Long Island Waterfront And Water Views ~ Whats' the Difference?
I'm not sure that winter water view is cricket, Larry and Sheila, but it makes sense to me.
In my opinion nothing better than a waterview. I'd take a partial view if I had to but full on waterview is the best.
To me if a home is described as waterfront it better actually be on the water, but water view is more subjective and often used very loosely to describe a view. I enjoy your explanation of the two.
Larry & Sheila, being land locked, a pond sounds good! Great explanation of views and waterfront. I love all the photos here with water views.
Dorie, We have seen those homes where there were supposed to be winter water views and if you stand on a ladder, sometimes you can see some blue!
Barbara, You're so right and that's why Waterfront and Water View homes are not easy to comp either on Long Island.
Anita, There is a difference between Waterfront, Water Views, Bay Fronts, Ponds and more, so it's great when other Realtors on Long Island list these homes and condos correctly!
Toni, Sometimes those "winter water views" are definitely hidden views!
Chris/Dick, There's nothing like a nice water view and Larry said recently he wouldn't mind living near the water!
Morgan, Water view is definitely too loosely used and we have been disappointed many times when showing some "Water View" homes...
Joan, You do have those beautiful mountain views though!
You've just explained why it's important to call Larry and Sheila if you are looking for a water front, water view, or seasonal water view hom in the Long Island area. Have a great day you two.
Hi Larry/Sheila - sign me up for either options - waterfront highly preferred . . . Regards Dave
Debb, Not everyone knows the difference of Waterfront and Water Views and we're looking forward to working with new clients on Long Island!
David, Yes Waterfront homes are highly in demand, but inventory on Long Island is low...
Larry and Sheila,
This is a good distinction...we have worked with many waterfront specialists. Wishing you a great day. A
Good afternoon Larry and Sheila.
A house with the view of water will sell fast.
Larry and Sheila-excellent distinctions. Even among properties listed as "waterfront" there could be many different types of properties. Best to consult professionals like Larry and Sheila who understand the nuances of waterfront properties.
Larry & Sheila, yes there are many clever real estate agents who puff the truth when advertising and knowing the differences between water-front and water-view is important to buyers.
I would certainly hope that an agent advertising water-front on a bluff would disclose this somewhere in their advertising but we know some don't.
One thing for sure is a Buyer looking for North Shore Long Island Waterfront or Water View homes and condos in Nassau/Suffolk LongIsland need call Larry & Sheila honest and dependable Agents.
Our MLS offers 4 different water descriptions:
Water front
Water view
Water access
Water oriented
We do have a large number of water oriented properties, especially in Maryland with the Chesapeaks Bay, Severn River, Magothy River and a few lesser rivers plus many coves, creeks, etc.
Water front carries a significant price premium, depending on the type of water frontage, raparian or not.
Water oriented communities are plentiful in MD.
Ron/Alexandra, With your luxury marketing background, we are not surprised you work on many waterfront properties...
Joshua, Many people on Long Island look for Waterfront and Water View homes!
Adrian, You're so right. Waterfront has many classifications and best to check with a Professional Specialist (like Larry & Sheila)!
Bob, I like the way you describe Realtor's who "puff and the truth"...We have seen many properties that are misinformed when describing a Waterfront or Water View property and just recently especially when No bluff was mentioned!
Lenn, I like that your MLS has different water descriptions. Ours does not have those water-oridented classifications!
Larry & Sheila- I remember looking at a property that had a water view... of a very small man made pond with a little fountain.
Larry, Sheila - nice explanation of the two terms - Water view and Waterfront. (And I was not aware of seasonal water view - as in Winter Water View....interesting concept)
Kathy, Yes that would be considered a Water View...
Praful, Some of the "Winter Water Views" as other agents may describe, should really not be considered Water Views, but they state them as such...
Larry and Sheila, there is a big difference between the water view and water front properties and the price usually reflects the difference.
I agree with Michael. .
to find the difference between water view and water front. .all you have to do is rent it or buy it. ..and you will see it clearly!
Michael, Yes Waterfront and Water View can certainly be different and we enjoy showing both to our clients on Long Island!
Fernando, Oh, I can see clearly now...
