Homes for Sale- North Fork of Long Island

February 22nd, 2010 category: Buyers2 Comments »

Finding homes for sale on the East End / North Fork of Long Island has never been easier.

Like a growing number of east end real estate sites, Options Realty has signed up for a home search feed that includes all participating members of our local MLS.

Using the feed, once you get the hang of it, is simple. Just be sure to indicate your preferences prior to your search. Looking for condos? Click on “north fork condos”, and read through the choices, beginning with “condo”- when you seek a specific location/town, click on the town, then the “add” tab in the middle. At the bottom, you can narrow further by clicking on “55 and over”, along with other criteria.

The search for single family properties is equally simple: just click on your town(s) of interest (if there is more than one, click each, and hit “add” so that it appears in the second column to the right) and continue with further narrowing down- price point, etc. If you want to view all homes on the North fork of Long Island, no criteria is needed- just click “go” at the bottom.

If your search is simply for bank owned or REO homes on the east end of Long Island, click on the “foreclosure” tab at the top, and you’ll be brought to the same page, but lead directly to bank owned. Because the offerings are limited, simply clicking on “go” without narrowing down will bring you to all bank owned properties on both the North fork, and in the Hamptons.

You can save your preferences; sign up for auto updates (which will deliver your properties of interest directly to your mail), or just check in now and then to see what’s what! Auto updates permit you to have new listings in your area of interest automatically sent to you.

The MLSLI provides this convenient search option, along with any of the participating brokers on the east end of Long Island seeking to maximize their seller’s exposure. This convenient feature permits a sellers property to appear on all participating broker websites, whether that company is the listing company or not.

Happy searching!

North Fork, Long Island Home Sales Up…

February 9th, 2010 category: Real Estate NewsNo Comments »

While we normally offer a month to month glance at closed properties on the East End / North Fork of Long Island, this report contains under contract activity for the towns of Riverhead, Calverton, Baiting Hollow, Jamesport, South Jamesport, Laurel, Mattituck, Peconic, Cutchogue, Southold, Greenport, and Orient/Orient Point, NY.

The under contract numbers have doubled over those in 2009 during this time period. In 2009, 21 homes were reported under contract from Jan. 1, 2009 to February 8, 2009.

Because there seemed to be interesting activity so far in February, the first week of February is included.

In 2010, there have been 44 under contract single family properties recorded.

Sold pricing remains to be seen; those figures do not appear until a day or two after the closing, so prices shown are the listed prices only. Check back- most will have closed by the end of March.

The MLSLI offers up-to-the minute property updates, and while all figures are deemed reliable, no guarantees.
