These are the six homes that sold in Babylon Village in the first half of August 2008 according to MLSLI’s intermittently functional sold homes tool.
The missus and I didn’t get to see inside of any of these places. Mostly because none of them were really on our radar for various reason. We were debating about [...]

I’m sitting here tonight watching the Giants beat up on the Browns in their second pre-season game of the year. Thing is, instead of typing on my laptop and watching the game on the tube, I could be at the game right now. Over the last week or so, I’ve seen plenty of tickets for [...]

I am very tempted by the idea of living in a condo instead of a single family home. The prospect of not being responsible for yard work, lawn mowing and exterior maintenance is pretty appealing.
Whaler’s Cove is a complex that’s right in my neighborhood. The prices are solidly in my range and there are some [...]
Pricing By Range Newsday - July 20th, 2007
I’ve seen this range pricing on several homes that have popped up on MLS and I was wondering what the hell was going on. Now I see, it’s some new thing.
Rather than listing the home at a fixed price of $329,000, what if Katen [...]
