Deeds and Leases

Typically holidays mean a slowdown in the market, and Realtors have the luxury of doing normal things like go shopping! Not in this market. We are too busy.

The Parkway will be closed from Bronxville to the County Center from 10 am to 2 pm. Riders, joggers and walkers are welcome. Bring your helmet, it is a beautiful day and enjoy!

Wow, the market is getting busy! The spring has arrived! True to form new listings are pouring onto the market, which I think can be viewed as a good thing. Give buyers a choice. As long as they are properly priced, buyers will purchase them, especially with the $8,000 tax credit until April 30th. The [...]

        2009 was dismal, but we have turned the corner. That is the crux of the market report issued this week by the Westchester Putnam MLS. I generally let this document speak for itself because I frankly am not in love with it. Not because anything in it is wrong – not [...]
