Lindenhurst NY Home Buying - Got Cash?
It's a buyer's market. That means there are so many homes on the market that buyers do have choices.
I am finding that good, solid homes in the low to mid $300's are selling. My buyers are realizing the same thing.
We made 2 offers on 2 different homes and there were already 2 accepted offers on them. But, one home was very overpriced so I told the listing agent to bring our offer to the seller.
Their counter was so little that my buyers walked based on my advice.
This home will … (9 comments)

A Good House Warrants A Good Offer You've seen many houses and finally find, what you feel is, THE ONE. It's clean. It's solid. Has the largest rooms out of all the over-priced homes you've seen so far. This house has everything you want and have been waiting for. It already feels like home to you.
You decide it's time to make an offer. You base this offer on the fact you want to extend the kitchen. In your mind it's going to cost you at least $20,000 because you want all the bells and whistles. You want to … (49 comments)

Mourning Doves Nesting At Our Front Door!
We have a large tree by our front door and I noticed last week that 2 mourning doves were building a nest in this tree. The nest was left from last year so I guess they were "rebuilding". Now we have renters? lol.
It will take about 2 weeks for the eggs to hatch so I'm keeping a close eye on it. I'm hoping to video tape the babies when they arrive. I am also trying to see if I can get my ladder to be able to peek into the nest without disturbing … (12 comments)

new york: You Don't Have A Budget And You Wonder Why You Can't Buy A House?

You Don't Have A Budget And You Wonder Why You Can't Buy A House? So many people these days do not scrutinize what they spend. You need to sit down and evaluate what you spend each week and on what. I know plenty of people that can't buy a house. Why?......
They spend an upwards of $300.00 a month on Starbucks. That is crazy! You are only adding to their profits. What is more important, equity or caffeine? Gotta get my nails done. $100.00 a month to get nails done? Why? A manicure is all you need. That costs … (9 comments)

Long Island Storm Aftermath of 2010
As I drove around the day after the storm, I was amazed to see how 1 home was untouched, and another home had trees on top of the roof.
Some blocks were closed due to power lines being down. LIPA stated they ran out of transformers. Imagine that? This past Tuesday there were still 20,000 LIPA customers without power.
Here are some photos of what the storm left behind....

Federal Tax Credits For Energy Efficient Home Improvements
My husband and I decided we really need to replace our windows. They are 16 years old and it's time.
We went to the NARI Show at the Farmingdale College in February and discovered with windows, you can get up to $1500.00 back from the good 'ol government! I like free money! It's only "free" if you do not owe money on your taxes. If you do, then the $1500.00 will go towards your tax bill. If you get refunds, then it's free money! Oooo-la-la!
So, the information hound I am, I … (14 comments)

Avi Korine Home Inspector Dix Hills Long Island
This past Saturday, my buyers had an inspection scheduled for their co-op purchase. They decided to use Avi Korine because I told them he's very thorough to say the least. He's fair and doesn't overprice repairs that are needed.
Avi was there for just over an hour and this is a co-op! He checked everything. In the end, he gave a detailed verbal inspection report which found nothing major and my buyers are happy. They were also impressed with Avi and were glad they took my advice.
