People who have followed my blog and the statistics I keep on the most current Real Estate Data on the North Fork RE Activity were already aware, but, honestly, I am glad that the facts are now supporting my optimism since February: the number of days homes sit on the market before they sell fell, median price rebounded a bit, and April of 2009 beat April of 2008 hands down in number of transactions, number of transactions above $1 million, although total salesvolume in dollars still fell a bit behind (a lot of lower priced sales of attractively priced homes - value … (0 comments)
hamptons: Buyer representation & buyer agency for real estate buyers in North Fork Wine Country: A no-brainer!
- 01/10/09 04:39 AM
It seems a no brain-er: when you are buying real estate you should have a broker, a knowledgeable expert who works for you, not for the seller. Someone who can show you the good AND the bad about a home. Yet, in our area, most deals are done with real estate agents who work for the sellers. And buyers are left in the cold, working with sellers agents, "the enemy" as some people say. In my experience, consumers are not clearly aware of the important ramifications of the fact they are working with a sellers agent when they make what often is one … (0 comments)

Short Sales have been in the news: If you no longer can afford your mortgage, or are behind on your mortgage, maybe in foreclosure, this blog may clarify how a short sale of your home can help you take care of a problem, and end the nightmare of defaulting on your mortgage. Some people think when they are "under water", when their house in worth less than the mortgage, they have no option but let the mortgage company come after you and foreclose if you cannot pay for the mortgage. A short sale is the sale of a home for less money … (0 comments)
hamptons: What's really going on in Real Estate Sales on the North Fork?
- 11/30/08 05:29 AM
The Real Estate Market -and this should not come to any serious Real Estate Professional's , buyer's or seller's surprise- has slowed down. This slow down has two components, each with its own dynamics, but one influencing the other: volume of transactions price levels. It is important and necessary to get a grip on what is really going on, for sellers to see what their properties realistically are worth in today's market, and for buyers to see where the value lies. And look at the facts to discover the positive side of this market. A good measure of what is really happening … (0 comments)
