After decades of fattening up central Nassau County residents, the well know Entenmann's Bakery Outlet, at the northeast cornert of Roslyn Road and Jericho Turnpike wil be closing.   According to an article in our local Patch.com website, it will be relocated in Carle Place on Glen Cove Road. I remember begging to go in when we'd drive by.  My mother was not big on sweets in the house, but she would relent at the outlet as all of the great snacks were discounted based upon age.  Rumor has it (from one of the gentelmen responsible for opening the outlet) that the company was doing well over $100,000 per week even 25+ years ago.  In addition, he said the company would bring in alll fresh products because they literally didn't have any products that were old enough to send.  Items literall...

Anyone who has lived or worked in Mineola for more than a half decade will remember Massaro's, known as the "Home of Long Island's Best Buffalo Wings."  Well, the closed up more than a year ago.  A new restaurant / pizza place opened in it's place.  However, I walked past the new iteration of Massaro's today and found out it was named Michaelangelo's and it's closed.  It had an amazing location.   Across the Street, another mainstay of Mineola is gone.  Jani, my kids favorite restaurant until they got scared during Chinese New Year's, is gone.  Asian Fusion is going to take it's place. The amazing part is that the building adjacent to Massaro's hosts hundreds of workers from Winthrop Hospital.  It appears there are about 1,000 people in-and-out of the building each day.   Across the str...

In New York, on February 4, 2003, the New York State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council voted to revise the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code to establish standards for the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide alarms in certain buildings. The Code Council adopted this revision on an emergency basis, with an effective date of March 6, 2003.  Since then, they have become mandatory in all residential structures in the State of New York.  And, it is my guess, though I am not sure, that this must by now be code in all 50 States. These laws that have brought Carbon Monoxide Alarms to residential structures have, no doubt, saved thousands of lives over the past years.  In fact, today most kids would be amazed that the Carbon Monoxide Detector wasn’t as common as the S...

Looking to buy or sell real estate in Mineola, New York?  You've come to the right place.  I would love to work with you and the rest of my team would be just as eager.  Josh Evans, Sheri Cambareri, Tara Downing & I will do everything in our power to get you a great deal.   In the mean time, let's take a look at the state of the market today: Today, Mineola has 58 hourses for sale (On our Long Island MLS).  As I always like to remind people, the one thing these 58 houses all have in common is that nobody has bought them yet.  So, are they a good indication of the value of real estate in our community?  Somewhat.  Closed sales, which will be shown next, are better indicators of value. The 58 houses range in asking price from $296,000 to $749,000. Of these houses, the average listing pric...

- Why would someone give a broker an exclusive listing and not want their property listed on the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island?  Here’s another example.  First, the sellers want an all-cash deal.  They (and their listing brokers) will pay anyone bringing a buyer the full commission available in this case.  However, they don’t want 100+ prospective purchasers showing up at their house, even thought that sounds like heaven, because they don’t want to have to entertain countless offers including mortgages, when they want out soon.  Is this the way to do it?  Well, we’ll let you know.  We expect to have our first prospective buyers in soon.  Want to be a buyer - call the exclusive lsting agents directly:CALL 516-741-5960 This property is not on MLS specifically because the seller...

I am posting this with permission of my broker, who reviews the sales prices and other market statistics in Mineola and surrounding towns on a daily basis.  He rarely publishes his findings, rather he uses the findings for his appraisal work.  However, he thought this would be worthwhile to get out to the local public to show the difference between the work we do on a regular basis to determine true Market Value by a Certified General Appraiser (him), before we list properties for sale.  You will find it has led us to sell properties more rapidly than local competitors.  This is because we not only spend a great deal on marketing and tending to our listings, but we also try to provide each seller with an appraisal of his or her property that is in conformity with the Uniform Standards o...

Home buyers are often attracted to Mineola because of its proximity to, well, everything.  That may seem like a stretch to say, but Mineola offers so much for such reasonable pricing, the market drop seemed to end here a few years ago.  And, with current mortgage rates as low as they are, buyers are finding houses in amazing locales that cost less to own than they would cost to rent.  Consider the following example:  318 First Street, Mineola, New York - Listed by Tara Downing of Village Properties of Mineola is listed for sale at a price of $469,000 with taxes of less than $8,000 per year.  If a buyer with reasonable credit and a 10% down payment paid the asking price, they would own this house for $2,266 in mortgage payments (30 years @ 5%) and another $665 in real estate taxes.   So,...
