How is the Real Estate Market Doing?

As real estate agents, part of our job is to be on top of the real estate markets that we work in. We need current market data so we can identify market trends so that we can provide valuable advice to our buyer and seller clients.  One of the tools we have developed we call Market Snap Shots.  Each ‘snap shot’ isolates the market data for a specific location and tracks it over a ten-year period.

We would like to share a sampling of our snap shots updated through August 31 with you.  If you click on this link, it will open an excel work book with 6 separate sheets.  Each sheet is for one of the specific markets we work in. The sample markets we selected are:

  1. Bronxville Village single family homes (not including townhouses)
  2. Bronxville PO area of Yonkers single family homes
  3. Eastchester school district single family homes
  4. Tuckahoe school district single family homes
  5. Crestwood single family homes – City of Yonkers with 10707 zip code
  6. Scarsdale school district single family homes

These sheets are packed with information. On each sheet, take a look at the column headed Median Price. As you scan down this column you will get a feel for where prices are heading in that market.  In Bronxville Village, Bronxville PO and Scarsdale, you can see that the median prices have been dropping for each of the past two to three years.  Conversely in Eastchester, Tuckahoe and Crestwood median prices are holding steady. The trend is that more expensive markets are experiencing price resistance.

Another key data point is the Total # of Sales column. In some cases, this simply indicates a lack of homes coming on the market.  In most cases it will tell you how strong demand is in that location.

If you would like more info on these markets or are interested in another market, just let us know.

So to continue on from last month’s blog on ‘Buying a Home’ –

Buying a Home

As we discussed, finding the best Realtor to support you is key when buying a home. There are still several steps that you can take to ensure that the process remains smooth and seamless.

After you have done your research, selected your dream home, made your offer that is accepted by the seller, a contract is negotiated including any inspection items. Once all the parties are in agreement, the contract is ready to be signed.  After you sign, the seller signs and you have a fully executed Contract of Sale.

Now it’s time to go back to your lender to formally apply for the mortgage. To assist in making this step (which can be daunting) a bit easier, our team assists in guiding you to provide the right information to your lender.  This would include your last years’ tax returns, recent pay stubs, copies of divorce decrees or separation agreements, brokerage statements, social security and pension payments, along with any other legal documents pertaining to income.  Please note, however, that as these are generally the required documents, it varies by lender.

Once all the documents and paperwork are complete, it is time for the best part – closing the deal! Heave a sigh of relief and finish these next few steps strong with your trusted agent. Complete the title search, obtain homeowner’s insurance, do a final walk through and then it should be time for the closing.  Also, as New York State residents, there are some extra things to keep in mind. The New York State Mansion Tax is a 1% tax on homes selling for $1 million dollars or more. This tax is paid by the buyer at the closing.  If the cost of the home is less than $1 million, there is no tax to be paid.

Finally, some of the obvious things include making sure you get the keys at the closing!  Once you do the final walk through and close, the home is yours. Lastly, we encourage you to embrace this new chapter and enjoy life in your new home! The Houlihan & O’Malley team truly enjoys these moments and is honored to assist you through this process. If you are contemplating on making a home (CO-OP or CONDO) purchase, contact us today to learn more.
