      Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, particularly when it comes to buying a home.  Features that attract one home-buyer may repel another.           However, the one feature of interest to every home-buyer is price.  Getting the most home for your money is paramount.  The real problem is figuring out whether that fixer-upper on one street is a better buy than the home in next-to-new condition two blocks away.  That's why knowing what to look for before you buy can save you time, energy and money down the line.           The first step is figuring out what kind of house you need.  A good buy is only a good buy if it meets your current and future living requirements.  Before shopping for a home, decide how much space you and your family require.  How many bedrooms, bathrooms?  Is a...

 The feds lowered interest rates again to the lowest they have been since world war two. This combined with already reduced housing prices and an $8,000 1st time home buyer tax credit make it a great time to get out there and buy that house you have been waiting for. I have designed a one stop real estate information website to help you start your search http://www.MarkSchreier.com/ Check the current mortgage rates, watch free educational video's on all real estate related topics, and sign up for your very own FREE Listing book account. Listing book lets you search the MLS like a broker. Best of all I am only a shout away, if you have any questions or concerns.

I would like to share an interesting sales experience I had in the Long Island, NY real estate market.  I decided to market my listings to reflect the slow conditions we have been experiencing here in Long Island.  I had two back to back listings sell in less than 14 days for far more than their asking prices.  This first listing was an out of area property I received from a referral. The funny part was during the process I had local agents calling me and asking what the blank am I doing.  They were telling my client that their agent (me) was short changing him by making the selling price way off the mark.   (Note the average DOM for listing out there is over 120 days.)  On the other side of the coin within an hour after the listings went live my cell phone started to ring.  The homeown...

It's February 1st already and the first month's sales and inventory stats are in.  Nassau county under contracts are up slightly - about 3% while inventory has increased slightly giving us a 9 month supply of inventory to sell at this time.  Plainview itself faired better with a good jump in under contracts from a dismal 18 last January to a more normal 28 under contracts this year. With inventory only up slightly from a 3 year low there is a little less than a 6 month supply of inventory.  Suffolk County continues to slide with a 17% drop in sales which gives it a full 12 months supply at this sales rate.  I believe Suffolk County will continue to lag until Nassau County picks up a bit more. The activity in the houses shows some serious buyers are meeting realistic sellers and we keep ...

With under contracts down 15% in 2008 - what can we expect for the Nassau County Long Island real estate market in 2009.  I believe the real estate market here as in much of the country will be driven by the interest rate story. Interest rates in the 4's would bring stability to our market and create a better balance between buyers and sellers. With inventory starting 7% lower than last year and sellers more realistic about their prospects, first quarter action could show improvement over last year's figures.  Presuming that the incoming administration creates a significant stimulous package, activity will be brisker from spring into early summer - after that watch interest rates on July 4th. That's as far as my crystal ball sees.  Do you see the same picture in your market?

THE GOOD NEWSStrange as it may seem, the one segment of the economy that gives uscheer is housing.  Housing has been the weakest sector of the economyfor some time.  However, mortgage applications rose 112% last week --the biggest percentage gain in history.  Refinancing also leaped upwardby some 203%.  With some trepidation, we are inclined to say that theworst may be over for housing.Moreover, the stock market seems to agree with us.  With stocks likeMasco (MAS), a Growth Portfolio pick leveraged to the home-buildingindustry, leading the market higher, housing seems to be emerging fromthe doldrums.We also note that October's figures showed houses to be more affordablethan any time in the last 20 years.  Today, with the Federal Reservebuying up mortgage-backed agency securities and for...

Selling a home puts you in a unique position. You are parting with what is likely your greatest asset. Some people are sad to sell, while others are ready to move on. No matter what your circumstances, your buyer will have certain expectations of you. First, you are expected to be courteous and professional. If you can put some emotional distance between yourself and the property it is helpful. For instance, if you are selling the family home it is likely to be an emotional transaction. However, your buyer probably does not want to walk down memory lane each time you meet. Next, you are expected to have an understanding of the current real estate marketplace. You need to know what a reasonable asking price is and have realistic expectations for the terms and conditions of the sale. Expe...
