North Fork, LI Under Contract July 2010

The following figures  (homes reported under contract) were obtained from MLSLI, and are reported under contract homes on the North fork/east end of Long Island for July, 2010. The towns included are Aquebogue, Baiting Hollow, Calverton, Cutchogue, East Marion, Greenport, Jamesport, S. Jamesport, Laurel, Mattituck, Peconic, Orient, Orient Point, Riverhead, and Southold, New York.
 
For 2010, the total reported homes for sale that went under contract on the North fork are as follows:

Total under contract: 34
Median Listing price: $412,450.
Median Original price: $427,495
 
Southold, NY homes for sale converted to under contract lead the pack, with a total of 8, followed by Riverhead, NY- 7, and Mattituck, NY, 3.
 
For comparative purposes, the 2009 figures are as follows:
Total under contract in July, 2009: 38
Median Listing price: $434,000.
Median Original price: $ 442,000

Because these properties closed, the reported closed price median was $395,000 in 2009.
 
It will be interesting to see what the reported sold pricing was for 2010, however important to note is that each village has its own unique characteristic, so can vary significantly from a neighboring town.
Worth noting is that when figures for SOLD properties in the same locations were pulled, the presence of higher end closed properties on the North fork provided an increased figure for the median sold pricing over 2009.

SOLD HOMES, JULY 2010:37
MEDIAN CLOSED PRICING: $489,000
SOLD HOMES JULY 2009: 37
MEDIAN CLOSED PRICING: $350,000
 
This data is skewed by a few elements, including a high end property reported twice.
The return to the market of those seeking properties in the one million plus range is encouraging, however for anyone seeking a home on the North fork of Long Island, reviewing specific transactions in your price point of interest will provide the best way to establish market trends.

iphone-pictures-377Watch soon for August data. I had the pleasure of time “off” to visit my daughter, and her newest addition.  Amazing how busy a two year old, and newborn, keep both their mom, and their Gramma, who had an absolutely wonderful (albeit a bit exhausting) trip!  August 2010 figures will be published in the first week of August…is summer really nearly over?

Home Sales North Fork 2nd Quarter 2010

On the North fork of Long Island, home sales (closed, under contract) have shown improvement over 2009. It should be noted that such improvement is a surface level analysis, as gathered from MLSLI. Absent specifics on each property, identifying exactly what sold (getting more for your money is a likelihood, negating any suggestion that pricing is going up- rather, it may well be that activity has been spurred by getting more for the same dollar) the following is offered to assist in getting a read on things to come:

REPORTED HOMES CLOSED SECOND QUARTER (4/1/2009-6/30/2009) ON THE NORTH FORK OF LONG ISLAND*: 99
MEDIAN PRICE: 356,000.

REPORTED HOMES CLOSED  SECOND QUARTER (4/1/2010-6/30/2010) ON THE NORTH FORK OF LONG ISLAND: 140
MEDIAN PRICE: 394,500

UNDER CONTRACT STATISTICS FOR FIRST QUARTER HOME SALES, 2009: TOTAL 99
MEDIAN PRICE: 360,000.

UNDER CONTRACT STATISTICS FOR FIRST QUARTER HOME SALES, 2010: TOTAL 154
MEDIAN PRICE: 368,000.

Because each town/village has variances on the North fork, the following breaks down activity by location for 2010:

2010 pricing by town (# sold/median pricing) second quarter:

Aquebogue: 13 sold; $310k median price

North fork, Long Island Home Sales- May 2010

Maria AnderssonThere are reliable spring indicators  on the North fork of Long Island- from the emergence of my  bed of daisies, to the presence of the bathing gear -clad set who slowly fill up the local beaches with bright umbrellas and children kicking sand all the way to the water, thrilled to try out the latest neon colored aquatic toys. An increase in home sales, from Riverhead to Orient, has also been an anticipated event.

April was an improved month over March, and such upward motion bred the hope that perhaps we’d hit a comfortable higher ground in terms of volume. Spring is the “season”, as many hope to finalize second home purchases for a summer spent on the North fork. Equally present east end, LI home buyers are locals who, having witnessed the significant uptick in housing prices, are now viewing realistic offerings that fit their budgets (and more so, their sense of what reasonable really is). Their appearance made for a strong April 2010 over 2009.

As most paid attention to the tax credit that expired at the end of April, the hope was that such an incentive wasn’t a band aid for a larger problem, but an incentive for many who may well have purchased either way- just, perhaps, an ice breaker- the precursor to whatever normalcy we can now come to expect.

May figures for under contract properties took a dip. From Riverhead to Orient, the total number of under contract properties reported to MLSLI for May, 2009 totaled 37. For May of 2010, that figure was 25. 

It will be interesting to see how we fare in June for homes under contract on the North fork.

The North fork, unlike its Hamptons counterpart, has not had the drama (and, we like it that way) of astronomical heights in pricing- followed by a disturbing lull, such as was found in 2009 throughout the Hamptons venue. Rather, the North fork (Riverhead, Jamesport, S. Jamesport, Baiting Hollow, Calverton, Laurel, Mattituck, Cutchogue, Peconic, Southold, Greenport, Orient, and Orient Point) has appeared to weather the market with consistency. While values have experienced a decline from peak suggestive of the economy, sellers responded accordingly, appealing to buyers anxious for value, along with the tax credit opportunity.

The following are town by town homes under contract for May, 2010:

East End, Long Island Real Estate

Clam Bake WaterAs a real estate company on the east end of Long Island (Hamptons, North fork) that has been viewing the real estate market *as we now know it* with caution, it was very refreshing to find the following assessment offered by a “local” real estate participant- Michael’s link is at the bottom of this post.

With reports touting (did they, really?) “The market is back! The bottom has been reached!” for the last year,  reading a really honest assessment of the challenges faced by east end, Long Island sellers and their confused partners (buyers) was a refreshing perspective that we’d like to share.

True: the forecast (do we believe “forecasts?”) seems to be that interest rates will be rising.

For investors, a rise in interest rates creates this scenario: such a move will depress pricing FURTHER, as it eliminates market participants (buyers)- wait it out, this whole thing- prices will drop FURTHER.

While there is no doubt validity in that perspective, the other side of the coin, for those seeking A HOME that will be a place to LIVE for the next five to ten years, SO WHAT? Pricing on the east end has dropped anywhere from 20% to a reported 35% from the pretend *and it was, in hindsight, pretend* GLORY DAYS.

How long, with a family to raise, or a retirement to plan, does one wait out another 5%, give or take? Will pricing drop another 30-40%? If so, no one to date has made that forecast…but do we know for sure? NO.

Will prices rise for east end, Long island homes over the next 2-5 years? We don’t think so, but some disagree.

At what juncture does “a home because I love it” supercede “if it’s not a good investment, I’ll rent?”- only the person paying the mortgage can respond with authenticity.

If interest rates rise as predicted, we agree that the waiting period for a purchase (if a buyer is financing, waiting for further drops) has been erased *poof* as quickly as such rates increase. So, the question becomes: IS IT TIME TO BUY A HOME ON THE EAST END OF LONG ISLAND? 

Do your homework, or hire someone to do it: check the number of distressed properties that threaten your area of interest, creating a potential price drop; look carefully at the asking price of a home (particularly in the Hamptons, where properties are routinely overpriced, hoping for a NYC sucker with a big fat bonus) and CHECK CLOSED SALES. Not three month old public record sales, but LAST WEEKS closings.

We enjoyed the blog that can be found HERE, and hope that you do, too!

Oh- and if real estate companies used an MLS in the Hamptons, you could check out the closed pricing from yesterday, right this minute- just sayin’.

Short Sales, Foreclosures, and Your Credit Score

slide 2As the East end of Long Island (north fork, Hamptons, NY) sees an increase in homeowners missing house payments, or selling short (owing more on the loan balance that the market will bear) a question that has floated around for the last few years is this: HOW does this impact my credit (short sale, foreclosure, deed in lieu of)?

Due to the magnitude of mortgage problems faced by many homeowners, it’s taken some time to receive information on credit ramifications for the various alternative choices that homeowners have available for consideration.

An article found here offers some clarity.

VantageScore is, according to Kenneth Harneys article, a joint venture created by Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and carries it’s own “score” for consumers.

FANNIE MAE has brand new parameters outlining credit implications/re-establishment, which can be found here.

Stirling HarborTo determine if Fannie Mae owns your loan, simply click here, and you can find out in seconds- if the goal is to remain in your home, all HAMP guidelines are ready to view. 

To view HAFA alternatives, click here. There are recent changes to all programs, as the government seeks to mitigate the mortgage MESS.

Please read ALL of this if you are mired in a downturn that has resulted in choices- while initially confusing (HAFA,HAMP,FANNIE MAE, FREDDIE MAC, ETC.), your lawyer, accountant and real estate agent will assist in the method of your choice- awareness of alternatives is essential.

Whether you are considering alternatives that might help you stay in your home,  missing payments for the short term, selling your home as a short sale, or contemplating the impact that a short sale, foreclosure or bankruptcy might have on your credit opportunities, all of this is must read.

Always consult your accountant and lawyer before making decisions for which clarity is sought, but for those wondering,  insight is provided from the VantageScore study, along with the Fannie Mae/HAFA sites linked above.

In a real estate market that is nothing short of a moving target, staying on top of your mortgage choices in all scenarios should be an ongoing effort- your future choices depend on what you decide now.

FIRST QUARTER NORTH FORK, LONG ISLAND HOME SALES

In like a lion, out like a lion- let’s hope that home sales on the East End / North Fork of Long Island continue to roar back to life!

The first quarter of homes sold on the north fork (Riverhead, Baiting Hollow, Calverton, Jamesport, S. Jamesport, Laurel, New Suffolk, Mattituck, Cutchogue, Peconic, Southold, Greenport, East Marion, Orient, and Orient point) increased in volume over the first quarter of 2009 by 25%. In 2009, there were a total of 54 homes closed. This is eclipsed by a total lf 68 for the first quarter of 2010.

Want more good news? The mean, or average sales price in 2009 for first quarter closings stands at $469,746. The mean sales price in 2010 is $495,931.

The median sales price for 2009 was $392,495. The median sales price for 2010 in the first quarter is $402,500.

Recovery? Bottom hit? Time will tell, but signs point to a far healthier real estate environment than was found in 2009. Increased activity and an increase in closed pricing is a sign that buyers are out, and if they’re finding value, are taking action. What must be noted is that the North fork of Long Island has seen a drop of significance in overall pricing, so east end home buyers are getting more for $402,500 than could be had in the past. Home sellers on the North fork are pricing properties RIGHT, as can be found in the decrease of discount from listed price to closed pricing. In 2009, the difference was 10.17% on average; the average for 2010 in the first quarter is 7.6%.

A NOTE ABOUT “AVERAGE PRICING”: AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DATA GATHERED, AN “AVERAGE” IS OFTEN IRRELEVANT, TO THE EXTENT THAT A FEW LARGE CLOSINGS ALTER THE TYPICAL VALUE IN A GIVEN AREA. WE PROVIDE IT FOR THE PURPOSE OF INFORMATION, BUT NOT FOR A COMPARATIVE ELEMENT. ALL NORTH FORK VILLAGES OFFER A WIDE VARIETY OF PRICING LEVELS; TO SEE THE AVAILABLE HOMES ON THE NORTH FORK, CLICK HERE.

Are we out of the woods? It’s all relative- relative to 2009, we can certainly enjoy the fact that lower pricing, along with available mortgage opportunities, has created a far better real estate environment for both buyers and sellers.

East End, Long Island Short Sales

Corey CreekWith homeowners having a need to sell, but a mortgage balance in excess of an amount that buyers are willing to pay (based on current home values), short sales are becoming more common on the North fork, and Hamptons, NY.

While complicated, short sales allow a seller to exit their mortgage obligation in favor of an offer acceptable to the bank, which may include a cash amount due at closing, and/or (unless provided as a contingency in the contract)

an amount due for a percentage of the difference between the amount owed, and the final selling price, often in the form of a promissory note.

SELLER HARDSHIP is a key element to a home purchase being permitted after a short sale has been initiated.

There has been much confusion regarding the credit ramifications of a short sale, but the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has released their own guidelines with respect to the ability of sellers to buy another home, and the news is good.

The use of FHA loans on properties below the $720,000 limit (see parameters) have become increasingly popular, due to a lower down payment requirement, and qualifications that are often more lax than those of a conventional loan. The link that can be found HERE provides an answer for those selling “short”, with an eye toward another home purchase in the future.

North Fork, Long Island Home Sales Up…

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.
