So you are considering buying a home.  You've met with a mortgage broker and have come up with a price range of 400,000.  Sounds like a lot of money to pay back over the next 30 years.  Yet how far can 400k get you in Rockland County these days??                                                                                                                                                     There are currently 10 houses for sale in Nanuet under $400,000.There are currently 39 condos for sale in Nanuet under $400,000. So should you buy a house or a condo??Each has advantages. 400,000 probably buys a much more modern condo than a 400,000 house.  (there are always exceptions)  Also with a condo the financial responsibility of the exterior usually  resides with the Condo Associati... 04/15/2008

This past Saturday, my girlfriend Amanda and I spent the day at the Nanuet Mall.  When it comes to Rockland County malls, I am a Capulet and Amanda is a Montague.    She loves the Palisades Center, or the "NEW MAll" as she still refers to it ten year later...I prefer all the "elbow room" at the Nanuet Mall.  And we quarrel on this often. On Saturday, I convinced her to come to the Nanuet Mall since Boscov's will soon close.  I need a new winter coat and with the store closing I might get a steal.   I've been checking Boscov's each weekend recently to see how much prices will drop.  Currently, they've reduced coats by 50%.  I'm holding out for further price reductions.  Sound familiar all you potential homebuyers???I purchased  t-shirts for my 2-year-old niece at the Children's Place.

Either I've got too much blogging on my mind or I'm an American Idol junkie.  BUT every Tuesday/Wed/Thursday evening you will find me parked in front of the TV "unwinding" from my day and entering the Idol Zone.  I record it so I can blow by the commercials.  But, it's over and here I am blogging again.  I'm a sick puppy I know.If you are like 30 million + Idol addicts you know that Alaine Whitaker (see photo right) was eliminated from the competition tonight.  If you get a chance, go to you tube and check out her very moving final performance.  She didn't take it well (see Ann David's post over at fox)and my heart just broke for her because like many of us, she has a dream.  So, what, you may ask does this have to do with Real Estate?   Earlier this week I was preparing a mark... 02/28/2008
