Hi Everyone,
January has been quite interesting - normally January starts off slowly and rises a bit throughout the month as houses start coming on the market. The pace is normally a slow and steady rise in listings. Well, as I said in December, the inventory in all villages in this area is severely low. Yes, new houses came on the market in January, but the Buyers absolutely pounced on them. I did an open house in 7 days ago, and we had 19 couples show up. This is definitely not normal for this time of year. So, if you are a buyer, and waiting for a better selection of homes, please realize this market is going to be fast and furious as it was 4 years ago. Houses will come on and will receive multiple offers the first weekend. Please do not think that you will be able to see 6-10 houses, choose one and then negotiate. It just will NOT happen this year. This market is going to the the Wild, Wild West again – fun to watch but really gut wrenching to participate in. Buyers really need to be ready to pull the trigger – have the mortgage fully Pre-Approved, know all current houses on the market and their values, know what you want, and what you don’t want. If a good house appears and pretty much fits your needs, don’t play around – offer a good bid, negotiate in the middle and get your offer accepted quickly. Most importantly, don’t over-negotiate. The sellers just won’t be in the  mood with all the buyers waiting in the wings.
Enjoy the rest of Winter - Spring is Coming!
Peter Owen

Hi Everyone,
I hope you getting back to normal routine after the Holidays. Here in Real Estate, I never have a normal routine and I get calls from 8am thru about 10pm, 7 days a week.
The housing inventory in all Villages in the area is still low and I would expect it to be that way well into February. More houses should start coming on the market in the next few weeks.
As I have said over the past 3 years, the Spring Rush NO longer starts in April. Sellers want to be the first one on the market for the Rush so for several years now the Rush has begun in late February and continues thru late April. This year should be no different. The buyers are out there waiting, very well educated and willing to pay near Asking for a good house. So if you expect to be selling during the Spring Rush, please get your home in shape and spruced up NOW.
As always, I am here to help should you have any questions or wish to list your home.
Hopefully, we do not get inundated with snow this year.
Peter Owen

Buy or Sell First?
Picture
What kind of home are you looking to buy? New construction or previously owned? There are advantages to each approach.The classic dilemma for many homeowners is whether to buy or sell first. There is no “right” answer. It depends on your specific circumstances as well as current market conditions."It depends on your specific circumstances as well as current market conditions."Most homeowners believe that it's more prudent and less stressful if you sell your existing home before you buy a new one. You can often get top dollar for your home if you are not under pressure to sell. And you're in a better position to negotiate when buying a home. If you have to make an offer contingent on the sale of your home, you often lose negotiating leverage.The risk of selling first is that you'll be under pressure to buy a new home before closing. In a competitive real estate market, the period between going under contract and closing may not be a realistic timeframe for you to find your dream home.If you currently own a home, we should talk as soon as possible on what will be best for you in today’s market place.
I am proud to be a full time, hard-working, experienced agent with Better Homes and Gardens Atlantic Shores Realty covering Garden City, Malverne, Stewart Manor, Lynbrook, West Hempstead, Herricks, New Hyde Park, Mineola and most of Nassau County.
