wine country: HAPPY NEW YEAR - IN REAL ESTATE on the North Fork
- 01/03/12 08:42 AM
The big question is - what will 2012 bring in business - besides the health and peace we all hope for - especially in the Real Estate Market?

In this blog I will try and provide a lot of information to allow you to come to one conclusion - besides the shear enjoyment of a (second) home in our beautiful East End region, an hour and a half outside of Manhattan's mid-town tunnel...: YES!

wine country: GREAT AFFORDABILITY BRINGS REAL ESTATE BUYERS FROM THE SIDELINES IN THE NORTH FORK & HAMPTONS
- 08/18/11 07:18 AM
The Real Estate market in the North Fork (and the Hamptons) is brisk in the East End offices of Town&Country, we are happy to report. Amid wild swings in the markets, caused by (international) sovereign debt crises, the Media are continuing to report on the RE market with a negative bias: a great example today was MSNBC's, and other cable channels'- negative slant on the NAR report of existing home sales for July of 2011, down 3.5% over June 2011. The reporting is entirely ignoring that the same number is up a whopping 21% over July 2010! Buying Real Estate makes … (0 comments)

- 05/30/11 06:38 AM
What better way to celebrate the new Summer Season than with the opening of a new seafood restaurant: and at the spot of my favorite past hangouts - the old Seafood Barge which is now entirely re-done. Tom Schaudel and Adam Lovett of "AMANO" fame in Mattituck debuted ALure this memorial day weekend on Main Road between Southold and Greenport at Port of Egypt. Let's assume the restaurant is as good as we have come to expect of these two restaurateurs - then add a fabulous waterfront location with great patios overlooking the Bay and marinas, and you really cannot go … (6 comments)
wine country: Forbes names Greenport one of America's prettiest towns...
- 04/29/11 04:17 AM
A year or so ago I blogged about Greenport - and the wonderful things happening there - and I am now in great company: John Giuffo of Forbes magazine selected Greenport as one of America's prettiest towns in his "small world big mouth" column and blog. Immediately - Lisa Dol Bruno of Newsday blogged about the real estate in Greenport - because such positive news make people interested in being a part of a wonderful success story.

wine country: REAL ESTATE ON THE NORTH FORK REBOUNDS STRONGLY IN APRIL 09
- 05/04/09 11:26 AM
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)
wine country: 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)

North Fork Wine Country has great deals to offer in this weak economy; most vineyards are slow during the off season, and even more so now. When I drive by the vineyards I see sales and discounted wines, and some of the vineyards now have sales in their shops as well. Beat the crowds and visit the vineyards! Also the B&Bs have specials you can enjoy. And once you are here, you may find Real Estate on sale... your chance to get in and look around, let us help you!
