An absolute must see!
Merrick has it all.
 
  
The New York Times ran an article on June 24, 2015.
Newsday ran an article on July 24th, 2015.
My favorite quote from the NYT article states, (buyers Kopelowitz) "hoped to buy on the North Shore, but were turned off by the drive from Manhattan to Port Washington and the train ride to Syosset. They headed south,"
 
Buyers are looking, interest is high and multiple offers (not seen in recent years) are back.
 
Merrick is conveniently located 45 minutes from the City and it is well-known for its award-winning schools.
There is easy access to highways, and, short driving distances (or walkability) to … (3 comments)

11566: Merrick, Long Island - I love where I live - 06/05/15 01:33 AM
 

Buyers tend to come to Merrick as young, married couples and stay a lifetime! They put down roots, start a family and become a vital part of the community. When their children grow up, they may leave temporarily to attend school and pursue job opportunities but, more often than not,  once they  marry, the children return once more to begin a new generation of homeowners.
 
Merrick has that small town feel. It is named after the Meroke Indian tribe, the earliest residents of this region. The name is said to mean "peaceful." In the mid-1600's, settlers came from England looking for a better way of … (11 comments)

No Post Code Envy? Just Give it a Little Time!  Part III

Where-have-south-shore-buyers-gone-Part-ii
 
In a recent conversation with a senior acquaintance, I was describing the difficulties of our local real estate market. Her two-word response of "It's Merrick!" seemed simplistic to me, at first, in light of all the complications that have arisen with the rezoned flood maps and their, consequential, meteoric rise in insurance premiums.

With time, I came to see her perspective for the long view in which it was intended. 

Merrick, like many of the Long Island south shore communities bordering Sunrise Highway, has a tremendous amount to offer and it's only rational to believe that, given … (7 comments)

A New England Feel on Long Island's South Shore - Merrick Woods
Recognized for its New England feel, the section known as Merrick Woods, is extra popular with Buyers.
 
This time of year, mature trees, with fall-colored foliage, are a sight to be seen. The large piles of leaves that carpet the sidewalks bring back distant childhood memories of country outings with family. 
 
 
Merrick Woods is a very accessible neighborhood. It's close to the train, major highways, shopping, restaurants and houses of worship.

Showing Merrick Homes to Real Estate Buyers on a Sunday
Sometimes, when you've been trying to concentrate on listings and, therefore, working with sellers, you forget how much fun it can also be to work with buyers, for a very welcomed change of pace. Listings are great for bringing out my creative side but showing homes is important for balance, so I don't forget how the other side of the real estate transaction - the searching and filtering process - also works.
I spent the morning with a super adorable young couple who are very excited about looking for their first home. They were upfront with their search criteria … (2 comments)

This is a detached co-op development located in the heart of Merrick, which is primarily made up of private houses. I'm advertising the lifestyle rather than the actual couple of units that are currently for sale. If someone is thinking about moving to our wonderful community of Merrick but is not really interested in owning a lot of property or doing the maintenance that comes with it, then, maybe, one of the lovely available units will fit the bill. The development is situated in easy walking distance to transportation, shops, restaurants, … (15 comments)
