Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is enjoying their Holiday Season. I keep wondering where the heck 2016 went - this year just flew by.
I normally do not project much on where home prices are going, but this year I get the distinct feeling that 2017 is going to be a banner year for real estate. I have no stats to point to, just experience and gut feel. I hope I am right.
Meanwhile, the last several weeks have seen a lot of buying activity. As I mentioned in my last several newsletters, house Inventory is quite low and going lower in ALL the Villages I cover. While the number of people selling appears to be rather normal, there are simply more Buyers coming out - first timers, those trading UP, Investors, etc. I don't know where they are coming from or where they are getting the money to pay some of these prices. I suspect these Buyers have been holding back for their "perfect house" and now that interest rates are starting to rise, the buyers may not want to wait anymore and pay higher mortgages rates.  If this keep up, the next several months are going to be wild. We'll see.
Have a fun, happy, healthy and safe New Year.
Peter Owen

 Hi Everyone,
Listings and Buyers are always slow over the holidays - Right?? Well here are the new listings over the past 30 days:

Garden City          12
Floral Park            21
Malverne                 6
W. Hempstead      12
Franklin Square    11


As I said last in my last newsletter, most people think they must sell in the Spring and most sellers DO list their homes in the Spring. Result - a lot of competition among sellers for the same number of buyers. Tough to get a premium price with that scenario.
 The people who are listing now have much less competition, their houses look great with the christmas lights and decorations, and the buyers have to bid up the prices since there are fewer houses to choose from. I have even seen a couple of bidding wars on homes in the past 2 weeks.
Again, the question of Why would people be buying during the holidays?? Answer - Job Transfers, buyers may not celebrate these holidays and thus have a lot of free time, buyers need more room ie another baby on the way, etc . There are hundreds of reasons buyers come out looking throughout the year. We just do not think of these reasons since we are conditioned to think "only sell during the Spring". Actually, there are NO bad times to list your home. Price will depend on Location, Amenities in the home, Character of the home and Condition of the home.
As always, if you would like to talk, just give me a call or email. I'm always here.

I wish you and your family the happiest of holidays. Stay Safe!

Peter Owen
