whitestone: Queens Foreclosure the highest in the five boro's!
- 07/23/07 08:43 AM
Ryan Slack from PropertySharks.com talks about the foreclosures in all five Boro's. He explains that while all areas of NY have seen an increase - he is mostly worried with Queens and the rate that homes are coming up on the foreclosure list. I will admit it - I have seen a large incline in the number of homes that are pending or are in foreclosure, but keep in mind - when the analysts speak of Queens, it is not the Bayside, Whitestone, Flushing, Malba or Beechhurst area. They are talking more of Kew Gardens, Forest Hills, Rego Park, Woodhaven, Jamaica, … (3 comments)
whitestone: Jumping into Spring.......
- 05/16/07 07:59 AM
I might be one of the few people who dreads Springtime. Its not for any other reason but for the effect that it has on selling Real Estate. Its bad - really! I have had sellers tell me that they want to wait until the springtime to list their home. Now, don't get me wrong - I do understand their reasons - I don't think they understand mine. 1.) Noses and Roses - Never fails - during the Spring months open houses should be called Nosy Neighbors. Thats really all it is. You have the neighbors out doing their own house work … (1 comments)
whitestone: An important conversation...
- 05/15/07 07:31 AM
Last week I went to show a buyer a co-op in the LeHavre development and while we were in the apartment looking out the window she was asking me what buildings were what and as I was telling her about The Beechhurst Towers, she interrupts me and says "Charlie Chaplin used to live there." As I laughed, I said "yes, how did you know... did you read that on my blog?" "THAT'S how I knew you, I knew I knew you!" … (2 comments)
whitestone: Clearview Gardens Cooperative, Whitestone Ny 11357
- 04/24/07 02:19 AM
Clearview Co-ops happens to be one of the most sought after cooperative settings and the board happens to be one of the strictest ones in all of Whitestone with many requirements. The co-op board does not allow pets, does not allow less than 20% down, salary for a one bedroom has to be over $42,000 and there is absolutely NO SUBLETTING! But, the requirements above are the exact reasons why most owners say that is WHY they want to live in Clearview Co-ops. Let me give you a little bit of history: Clearview Co-ops are located in Northeastern Queens, NYC. The … (128 comments)
whitestone: Buying a Co-op, Things that a buyer should know
- 03/27/07 06:24 AM
When buying a cooperative apartment the buyers need to be aware that most corporations require a prospective purchaser to submit an application and this application could, or I should say WILL consist of the buyer submitting documents that contain personal and confidential information concerning the buyers employment history and finances. Most likely the board will require a personal interview with the prospective buyer as well as all the people that will be residing in the apartment. Trust me - this process is hard for any buyer and the scrutiny that a buyer under goes has been compared to having your finger … (2 comments)
whitestone: House Inspection - How can you NOT do it?
- 02/05/07 02:31 PM
just recently had a buyer explain to me that he does not need to do an inspection because his sister's husband's friend is a contractor and he is going to over look the house. I highly highly - I mean really advise against this. Even if you are in total agreement with the seller that you are buying the home "as is" - any home buyer SHOULD get the home inspected by a licensed inspector. Its really for the buyers benefit - trust me, I make nothing off the deal and to be honest, I have lost a deal or two … (6 comments)
whitestone: How did you buy your first house??
- 01/29/07 02:49 PM
When my husband and I first got married he had already owned his own Clearview Co-op. It was a great apartment. We were on the lower level and we renovated it to the hilt. When we had our first son, it was so easy to maintain. I cleaned my house 1,2,3. At that time I was a full time stay at home mom. When my second child made an appearance into our lives - all h*ll broke lose. This one more person made our great little apartment feel like the walls closed in on us. I would cry at the disorder … (0 comments)

whitestone: Queens NY Real Estate - Reaches high of availablity.
- 09/29/06 06:08 AM
I was going through some local stats (Whitestone, Flushing, Bayside area)today and I am floored. Within this past month of September there were 142 NEW listings, making the TOTAL available homes reach the highest of 932 single family homes. The HIGHEST priced home currently is $2.800,000.00 The LOWEST priced home is currently $459,000.00 The Average days on the market is 83. To see the charts. What boggles my mind is that some of the sellers are "holding out" thinking that they can get more money. Most sellers still have not gotten "it" . The buyers are being stubborn and sticking to their offers and the sellers … (0 comments)
whitestone: The "Sandwich" era
- 09/26/06 01:53 AM
When a person makes the decision to sell their home they have a reason, perhaps a goal that they are trying to achieve. I love working for people when its an upgrade. The homeowners are excited and happy. They anticipate the move and they are truely ready for the move. Then there are times that I have to list a home that has a sad reason why they are selling, like loss of job, illness or worse death. My emotions do tend to surface. Most of the time these sellers are not quite ready to leave the home and there is such … (2 comments)
