For those of you who haven’t been following along, Part 1 of the July report is here. There are some nice homes in this post. The Wyndanch house wasn’t on my radar at all, so no comments there. As noted below, we really loved that Washington house. I hope the people who bought it are [...]

We made our first offer on a house after seeing it this past weekend. I was nervous as hell sending out that e-mail with the words “We’d like to offer $XXX”. Got my mortgage pre-approval. Ran the numbers. Heady stuff. Unfortunately, my Realtor Tom says that there are multiple offers on the property and they’re [...]

I’m going to try to get caught up with these over the next couple weeks. I didn’t personally see any of the ones in this post so my comments will be brief. Feel free to chime in if you’ve got an opinion. 112 Peninsula Dr

Ten houses in Babylon for the month of May 2009. That’s a big haul and reflects a bit of a surge in the real estate market generally. There’s been some buzz about an increase in home sales in May nationwide, but you need to remember that those numbers aren’t seasonally adjusted. Year over year (comparing [...]
