Happy Holidays From the Houlihan & O’Malley Family

Sell Your Home with Houlihan & O'Malley

As the year is coming to a close, I pause to reflect over the past year’s activity and to wish all my clients’ Happy Holidays!

I reiterate the Houlihan & O’Malley promise which is simple: we give every client our undivided attention, regardless of the price of the home you are seeking to buy or sell.  And we are here to help you make smart decisions throughout every step of the process.  Technology is wonderful but does not craft the best possible deal–highly personalized service, market knowledge, and proven experience are what sets us apart.

Our firm’s agents are true extensions of the Houlihan family; professional, knowledgeable, involved (sometimes overly) and truly dedicated.  It is our privilege to be your REALTOR. We continue to look forward to beneficial relationships even beyond the closing.

The best thing about the holidays is the opportunity to express thankfulness for your continued trust in us.

From our house to yours, may you have a beautiful holiday season!

Westchester County Real Estate Sales Q3 Stats

Westchester County Real Estate

Quarterly Indicators Westchester County

Some economy observers are pointing to 2018 as the final period in a long string of sentences touting several happy years of buyer demand and sales excitement for the housing industry. Although residential real estate should continue along a mostly positive line for the rest of the year, rising prices and interest rates coupled with salary stagnation and a generational trend toward home purchase delay or even disinterest could create an environment of declining sales.

• Single-Family Closed Sales were down 4.1 percent to 1,916.

• Condos Closed Sales were down 1.2 percent to 401. • Co-ops Closed Sales were down 7.8 percent to 544.

• Single-Family Median Sales Price decreased 0.2 percent to $678,750.

• Condos Median Sales Price increased 1.8 percent to $392,000.

• Co-ops Median Sales Price increased 3.0 percent to $170,000.

Tracking reputable news sources for housing market predictions makes good sense, as does observing trends based on meaningful statistics. By the numbers, we continue to see pockets of unprecedented price heights combined with low days on market and an economic backdrop conducive to consistent demand. We were reminded by Hurricane Florence of how quickly a situation can change. Rather than dwelling on predictions of a somber future, it is worth the effort to manage the fundamentals that will lead to an ongoing display of healthy balance.
