On the market for 111 days.

I Can't Control the Lindenhurst NY Real Estate Market
Imagine if I could? Omigawd, I'd be so popular! But I can't control the real estate market.
When meeting with homeowners and showing them in black and white what they can sell their home for, more often that not, I am met with the "deer in the headlight" look. I can't blame them one bit.
Pricing your home correctly is what will bring in buyers and offers fairly quick. Overpricing will simply bring you nothing for months on end along with frustration and endless price reductions. You get to pick where you … (12 comments)

Lindenhurst NY Housing Market | Seller's Market? Buyer's Market? It's a Taxing Situation
What it really comes down to is price point and property taxes. This is what can hurt sellers trying to sell their home.
If you are in the $325,000 to $350,000 price point, there are 24 homes for sale in Lindenhurst. But, most buyers have to keep the property taxes under $10,000. That leaves 7 homes available for them to choose from:
The higher in price, the less buyers there are. The same goes for high property taxes. In my experience, most buyers have to be … (2 comments)

Lindenhurst NY Homes Under Contract 2009 - 2011
The Lindenhurst NY real estate market for homes under contract in the last quarter of 2011 ended off better than I expected. 61 Lindenhurst NY homes went under contract and so far 45 have closed. The remaining 16 went under contract towards the end of 2011 so there is the overflow into 2012. The listing prices range from $119,000 to $499,000. So far, the sold prices range from $144,000 to $450,000 which are the homes that closed in 2011. So, why is this under contract chart important to you? It shows that buyers … (5 comments)

Lindenhurst NY Short Sale Market Report - 2008-January 2012
The Lindenhurst NY short sale market in 2011 almost stayed the same compared to 2010. In 2010, 55 homes were listed as short sales and 30 sold. 50 homes in Lindenhurst NY were listed as short sales in 2011 and 33 sold.
2012 will be interesting. Short sales will continue to be around for a while. I have to assume right now that 2012 for short sales in Lindenhurst NY will be around the same as in 2010 and 2011.

The Only Person I Sleep with is My Husband
It's funny how buyers get advice that is old-school. Family and friends mean well but inaccurate information can lead to misunderstandings.
In January of 2009, I met with a nice couple who were first time home buyers. During my consultation with them, I let them know that I can refer them to great mortgage brokers, home inspectors and real estate attorneys that will get the job done without breaking the bank. Upon hearing that, the husband said the following, "we were told to not use anyone the Realtor® "sleeps" with". I … (26 comments)

The very first door I knocked on had recently expired in Lindenhurst NY and had listed with numerous real estate agents over the last four years. I knew it was going to be a challenge but didn’t expect what I was greeted with.......It was just short of 11:15 a.m. and when I knocked the homeownerflew open the screen door and screamed at me, “do you know what F’ing time it is?!?!?” I replied, “yes, it’s … (93 comments)

Thank You Sheri at Bank of America - One Less Homeowner in Foreclosure
This is one Lindenhurst NY short sale I will never forget.
After eight months under contract the buyer was going to walk. Frustrated, I wrote a blog post venting at how the short sale process at Bank of America was taking way too long. it wasn't normal.
Two weeks later I received a call on a Friday night from Sheri at Bank of America. Sheri stated that she could try and help move the process along. Since it was too late to call her back, I called her … (6 comments)

What Is Wrong With Some of You?
My office to home is literally a five minute drive. What could possibly happen during that time? You would think not much but I beg to differ......
Lovely Lexus Lady blew a stop sign that was clear as day and missed hitting me by a few seconds. Mercedes Woman almost rammed me from behind. Mercury Man also almost rammed me from behind. Side Note: If you are going to be that close to me, put a ring on my finger. What do you think these three lovelies have in common?.................
