Retirees: Why Downsizing Could Be a Great Decision
If you're a baby boomer who's close to retirement or already retired, it may be time to sell your home. With current home prices at an all-time high and multiple buyers competing for properties, our REALTORS® are witnessing a seller's market that's booming. Downsizing right now may be a great decision for your golden years.
In Nassau and Suffolk counties, home sales are competitive. Buyers are flooding the market looking for properties that suit their lifestyle and finances. According to the National Association of Realtors, the median price for all types of homes has jumped 14.6% from prices just one year ago, especially in the suburbs where low inventory is pushing prices up even higher.

Selling Your Home
Selling your home in such a competitive market can actually save you money. With so many buyers looking for homes, you may save money on home repairs and upgrades. You don't need to do a major renovation to attract interested buyers, just concentrate on necessities.

What Goes Up - Goes Up Further | A Letter from our London Office
Nick Churton of Coach Realtor's London office looks to a genius to make some sense of the current international real estate market and offer some pointers for the future.
What Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of gravity in the middle of the 17th century, would have made of the current gravity-defying real estate market is anyone's guess. But, no doubt, like most people he would have been flummoxed.
Even a genius like Newton, who worked from home during the plague of 1665/66, would have had difficulty making any sense of this market. Despite a global killer pandemic, tens of millions of people out of work, nations in lockdown, travel halted and national treasuries handing out trillions in support of businesses, jobs and mortgages, the real estate market booms. It should, by any calculation, have plummeted li...

Homeowners: How Old Is Your Deck?
A deck equipped with comfy outdoor furniture, some colorful plants, and a fire pit can be a glorious place to relax and enjoy some great views. And if you decide to sell your home, this outside addition can add value and make your home appealing to buyers. Without proper maintenance, however, your deck and its railings could collapse, fall apart, or fail in some other way. May is National Deck Safety Month and our REALTORS® want to remind you that you need to maintain or replace your deck to make it a safe haven for your family before the high deck traffic of summer. Here are some tips to get you started.
- Regularly Inspect the Deck
Regular inspection is one of the keys to good wood deck maintenance. Inspect your deck for loose nails and other hardware, splintered or soft spots, and rotten or split planks. Be sure to check the wood where the stairs contact the ground and where the ledger boards connect to the side of your home.
