Today is Memorial Day, a day to honor those who gave their lives in service to our Nation. We remember those who never returned home and reflect on the price paid to secure our liberty. Their sacrifice represents the highest form of devotion to our Country and the freedoms we hold dear. Thank you to the Families who carry their memory forward and uphold their legacy with unwavering strength and pride.

Your Weekly Real Estate Update 🏠

Since the Iran conflict escalated earlier this year, mortgage rates have climbed roughly 0.50% as inflation concerns, rising oil prices, and higher Treasury yields continue to pressure the bond market. That increase has slowed refinance activity considerably, but here on Long Island, the purchase market has remained surprisingly competitive.

Many buyers across Nassau and Suffolk County still have strong income, liquidity, and overall financial profiles, and well-priced homes continue to attract multiple offers, especially in the move-in ready segment of the real estate market.

The buyers winning deals right now (outside of cash buyers) are typically the most prepared: fully pre-approved, realistic about their monthly comfort level, and ready to move quickly when the right property hits the market.

30 year interest rates remain slightly below 6% at 5.99%
Despite higher interest rates, demand for quality inventory on Long Island remains strong.

This was certainly not one of my easier real estate transactions! Co-ops can be especially challenging, and after three board rejections in Glen Cove, we finally secured an approved buyer. Persistence paid off for our seller, and Brian is a fantastic fit for the community.

So grateful to celebrate two closings yesterday and to have had the privilege of guiding both my sellers and buyers through the process. Both of these homes were listed, marketed and sold by THE SCHOEN TEAM. Helping them find homes they truly love is why I do what I do. And an extra special bonus: one of the buyers is going to be our new neighbor here in Kings Park! 🏡Congratulations to everyone on this exciting new chapter.
