Rockland County Real Estate Market Update

leave a comment »

When will the market turn around?

The truthful answer to that often asked question is that “no one really knows”. What we are hoping to see is a steady DECREASE in inventory and a CONSISTENT INCREASE in sales each quarter. Decreasing inventories indicate that the market is absorbing the present stock of available properties. The average days on the market has gone DOWN from a previous high of 6-9 months to now just over 3 months (see below).

This graph was compiled from Stats below…….


Available Stats from the Greater Hudson Valley MLS

1st Quarter
- Average Days on Market 102 days
- Homes Sold 215
- Homes on the Market – 5,765
- Average Price – $525,600

2nd Quarter
- Average Days on Market 103 days
- Homes sold 281
- Homes on the Market – 6,602
- Average Price – $501,500

3rd Quarter Forecast (latest figures due out late October)
- Average Days on Market UP (as we move into the holidays)
- Homes sold – Down
- Homes on the Market – Level
- Average Price – UP

In the first two months of the 2nd quarter, 1,119 jobs were added to the payrolls of Rockland County. As a result of these new jobs, the average monthly unemployment rate fell from 4.4% during the first quarter to4.3% for April and May. The strong employment climate may help to create demand for home purchases. Favorable mortgage rates should augment this trend.

Rockland NY Overpriced Listings

rockland real estate overpricedSOAPBOX MOMENTS !

Last week I met with a local resident who wanted to sell
his Rockland home. As usual, I did a very thorough
“Market Trend” Market Analysis. These competitive
market analyses take 4-6 hours to prepare and leave
absolutely no doubt in the mind of the analyst
(that would be me) exactly what the chances are of the seller’s ability to sell
a commodity that is in great supply right now.

I can predict quite accurately how much time, and within a few thousand dollars the expected price point at which the property will sell. There isan old saying . . .Facts and Figures don’t lie, but “people do”.
Overpricing a listing is good for nobody,” agrees Rick Landuyt, e-PRO®, an associate broker at Coldwell Banker Schweitzer Real Estate in Troy, Mich. I whole heartedly agree with this mindset. This is why I always come prepared when I meet with a potential client and SHOW THEM what exactly is happening in the Rockland Real Estate market. Unfortunately, this poor seller did not listen to my advice . . . he called in another realtor, who no doubt puffed him up with whatever drivel sounded good to this naive seller. So …. the seller “drank the kool-aid” and bought the big lie that “oh your property will sell very high because _________” blah blah blah.

Why would a broker take an overpriced listing anyway?

Mr. and Mrs. homeowner let me tell you a big secret that most real estate
brokers won’t tell you. The reason that they will take an overpriced listing,

Rockland County NY Nanuet Bus to NY City

Hamlets Condos and townhouses

Bus from The Hamlets in Nanuet to New York City

If youre thinking about a condo purchase in Nanuet, be careful you dont pass over what I think is one of the nicest developments. Its called The Hamlets, and its located in Nanuet, New York in Rockland County.

Click here to find listings for: The Hamlets of Nanuet condos and townhouses

Bus from The Hamlets to NYCityWe are within close communting distance to The Tappan Zee Bridge. You will have an easy commute to New York City. On my web site I even have a link to our local COACH BUS showing you the schedule and the placesthe bus stops. The Coach Bus comes right into our development. I see my neighbors getting on and off each day.

We have lived in The Hamlets almost 10 years now. If youre looking for a realtor who really knows their way around this development, may I humbly say ‘its me. We live in the Knolls East Section. My neighbors tell me Im known as the ‘flower lady because we live on the corner and one of my passions is gardening. I spend a small fortune every spring/summer to make a blaze of color on Wedgewood Drive.

What you need to know is that there are five different developments inside The Hamlets. They are Treetops, Timberline, Vista, Knolls East, and Eagle Ridge. They each have their own pool andare all very distinctive. There are two tennis courts, and its always easy to find an empty court here. There is a community building which can be rented out for special occasions, and its also where we all vote.

We are very community minded here, friendly (but not overly so) and pets are allowed.
