The Realities of the Long Island Real Estate Market...
What's REALLY happening in the Long Island Real Estate Market?
According to most media outlets, the news is all "doom and gloom"...but the realities of the market differ from public perception...
MYTH: "Homes Aren't Selling"
FACT: Actually, about 20% of all homes listed for sale in Suffolk County DID sell in 2009, and we expect that percentage to remain steady in 2010.
MYTH: "If I wait until the Spring, prices will come back up"
FACT: With most areas of Long Island showing declines in home values, waiting is likely to cost the average homeowner thousands of dollars
MYTH: "Nobody's buying houses now"
FACT: While certainly below the levels of 2006, we are still experiencing moderate to brisk buyer traffic, particularly in the starter home price tier.
MYTH: "You Can't Get a Mortgage Anymore"
FACT: Absolutely untrue! While lending guidelines have definitely tightened up from past years, there is no shortage of mortgage money for any reasonably qualified buyer.
MYTH: "You need at least 20% Down to get a Mortgage"
FACT: Not true! Recent FHA changes make it possible for qualified purchasers to obtain low fixed rate mortgages with as little as 3% down
