 Are you thinking about selling your Eastport Long Island home now or in the near future? How will you go about choosing an agent?One way is to start by looking at the areas market share. A market share is important because it shows how many homes brokers and their agents are listing and selling during a selected period of time in a specific town or village. Very little market share would at best indicate a lack of presence or consumer awareness of a broker, and at worst might reflect past unsatisfactory performance. So then what would a large market share indicate? I would hope someone looking at Corcoran's market share in Eastport would see it for what I believe it is. Experience, hard work, local knowledge and presence, a great reputation, and a true passion for selling the Eastport ... 10/28/2020

The following report is based on the 3 month period ending April 30, 2020Let us start by wishing you all health and safe travels during these uncertain times God Bless America!This month's report should come as no surprise to just about anyone with a pulse. The numbers of sales and contracts written in the last three months are down. If you read that statement and walk away from this report without reading more you'll miss the good news part. Yes, we believe there's good news coming. Sometimes, maybe most times, hard data is not enough. Why are the numbers the way they are? What's happening behind the curtain in our real estate market. What does the future hold?According to the governor's executive order and as it stands now real estate agents in NY may not physically show houses for sa... 05/07/2020

The following report is based on the 3 month period ending March 31, 2020Let us start by wishing you all health and safe travels during these uncertain times God Bless America!This month's report should come as no surprise to those of you who follow the market. Pending transactions have slowed down as the numbers below will indicate, and this time of year is usually when we are picking up the pace and going into more contracts and  sales. The good news for sellers is that at least for the moment inventory remains steady and low which should keep the median sale price near or at normal.   In these reports I always ask "Is this a good time to sell your Eastport home?" I know what you're thinking- "Is this guy kidding me? It can't possibly be a good time to sell we're in the middle of a pa... 04/06/2020

The following report is based on the 3 month period ending Jan. 31 ,2020This month's report shows what usually happens in the Eastport Real Estate Market around this time of year. As I have mentioned in the last couple reports we see a winding down of buyer and seller interest. That's not to be confused with market activity. As you will see with the numbers below there were a robust (for Eastport) amount of closings. Broken down month by month we see 2 closings in November and 5 in December. There were 0 closings in January. Keep in mind that closings reflect the end of a process that typically begins 45 to 60 days earlier, so to see no transfers in January emphasizes how interest wanes in November and December.However, even as I write this report the new season has begun and buyers are... 02/07/2020

 The following report is based on the 3 month period ending Dec. 31, 2019 This months graph is about supply and demand.  My market reports are based on the real estate happenings of the previous three months. I like the three month synopsis because it provides a snapshot of current rather than long term events, however I will be doing a year end report as well.Supply change- So when we look at supply (housing inventory) change and see in the graph that supply is down 36.36%, that is within the three month period, but the graph goes back to the beginning of the year and we can see that other than the summer dog days we are at yearly low for homes available for sale. Low inventory this time of year is to be expected, but now that the new year is here we should see an increase. But no matt... 01/10/2020

   The following report is based on the 3 month period ending Nov. 30, 2019The graph above tells the story. Any time you see inventory going down, and buyer interest going up, it's a good time to sell.If you follow real estate this is the time of year we see a lot of "the holidays are a great time of year to sell your home" postcards and internet articles from your favorite realtors. Usually it's in list form - "ten great reasons to list your home during the holidays"- that sort of thing. I honestly don't know if there are ten great reasons, but there are definitely two or three. The two that are top of mind with me are inventory and condition of market. Inventory- The facts don't lie. Fewer folks list their homes during the latter part of the year. I like my seller's odds better when t... 12/06/2019

Eastport, N.Y. Real Estate Market Report Oct., 2019Have you ever heard the phrase "real estate is hyper-local"? What it refers to is that overall real estate market trends can be up or down, but as you reduce the geographics to regions, states, cities, counties, communities, and neighborhoods, things can vary quite a bit.That is in great evidence here on the east end of Long Island and especially so where full time residential areas overlap with vacation home destinations.Eastport is one such hamlet. By and large a full time residential community, it sits just to the west of The Hamptons where median home and sale prices are well into the millions of dollars. By all counts the full time home sales are greatly outpacing the vacation home market here on eastern Long Island.Here is a look ... 10/30/2019

 My last entry had to do with Long Island Restaurant week. I hope you all enjoyed at least one good meal out there. Keeping positive, my personal favorite of the three restaurants we visited was Blackwell's in Wading River. The choices were great, and the meal was excellent, and the plates were full (my most important criteria!)Speaking of food, the Eastport Fire Department will be hosting Buffet Breakfasts on Sunday mornings during November. The dates remaining are the 18th and 25th.

The one and one half square miles of land that is now called Eastport actually had it's beginning as far back as the 1730s. Back then, Gristmills could be found at the heads of most of the creeks, and farming was the community's most important asset. Early on, the area actually was two adjoining communities, Seatuck and Waterville. The two hamlets joined some time around 1850 to become what is now known today as Eastport. Not long after the Pekin duck was introduced to the U.S. from China (somewhere around 1873), duck farming became central to Eastport with as many as 29  farms located in the area. Over time, duck farming in Eastport waned and by the late 1970s most farms were gone. Today, Eastport's biggest attraction is the antique shops that line Main St. In fact, the town has become... 10/29/2007

One of the things I love about selling Real Estate on the East End of Long Island is that it creates a common thread that runs through most of our lives. The gamut runs from those who are looking to buy a first home or vacation home, downsize, upsize,or in some cases just interested in keeping tabs on what our homes and properties are worth. Most of the people I run into in town know that I am a real estate Broker, and the conversation usually ends up with a discussion about the current state of affairs in today's market. I truly do enjoy sharing what I know about the market and I have come to realize that there is quite a bit of misinformation out there.In an effort to keep my friends and neighbors in Longtree Pond, Eastport up to date with what's happening, I thought I would share som... 10/16/2007
