SOLD: 113 Mariaville Road, Rotterdam, NY

19 days on the market. A successful open house. And the perfect buyer.

To our new homeowner we thank you for your service. You have earned every bit of this. Congratulations on your new home.

To Pat, it was an honor representing you every step of the way. Wishing you both nothing but happiness in this next chapter.

This is why I love what I do.

JUST SOLD: 1322 Alden Place, Schenectady for $𝟮𝟭𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬. That is $𝟯𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗶𝗻 𝟱 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀.

This 1910 Colonial was the perfect first home: solid bones, over a century of character, rich natural woodwork, coffered ceilings in the dining room, 4 bedrooms including one on the first floor with a full bath, and a deep backyard with established garden beds. It needed some updating, and that was the opportunity. A chance for a buyer to 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 and make every room their own.

And buyers competed hard for that chance. Here is some perspective from the market data: comparable homes in the Schenectady School District have been averaging 𝟲𝟰 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 and selling around $𝟭𝟳𝟯𝗞.

This one? 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 $𝟮𝟭𝟬𝗞.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗸. It is knowing exactly how to position a home, even one that needs work, so buyers see the potential instead of the projects.

If you own a home that needs some TLC and you have been assuming it will not sell for much, I would love to show you what the market is actually saying. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀.

And if you are a first-time buyer dreaming of a home you can make your own, they are out there. Let me help you find the next one 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀.

Everyone has an opinion about this market.

I have the data. 📊 And the data is telling….
so let me tell you what it says about Schenectady in the last 30 days:

🏡 Homes are selling in just 12 days

📉 Only 1.8 months of inventory and buyers outnumber homes

✂️ Yet 33% of sellers have already cut their price…

🆕 59 fresh listings just hit the market

📈 And prices? Up 2.6% since last June

Wait what?? Homes are flying off the market AND a third of sellers dropping prices?? 🤯

Swipe through, because that contradiction is the whole story… and knowing which side of it you land on is the difference between a bidding war and a price cut.

Here’s my promise: if you live in Schenectady or ANYWHERE in the Capital District for that matter, I have this same data for your neighborhood. Your street. Your house.

💬 Drop your town below 👇 and I’ll tell you what the numbers say about YOUR market. (Yes, really. Niskayuna? Glenville? Rotterdam? Scotia? Try me.)

Or send me a DM and let’s chat with no pressure, just the truth in plain English.

SOLD, and the numbers tell the story.

JUST SOLD: 1355 Union Street, Schenectady for $300,000

I pulled the data on every 4-bedroom home sold in the Schenectady School District this year (59 of them!), and here’s how this charming corner-lot Colonial performed:

SOLD $5,000 OVER asking, while the average home in this market sells slightly below original list price
SOLD in just 6 DAYS, beating the market average of 22 days
SOLD $23,000 above the median 4-bedroom sale price of $277K

This is what strategic pricing, powerful marketing, and 23 years of local expertise looks like.

Your home’s results shouldn’t be left to chance. If you’re even thinking about selling, let me run the numbers on YOUR home. Free, no obligation, no pressure. You might be sitting on more equity than you realize.

It is 8AM and here is my ask for today.

Appliance Repair. Who do you know?

I am building my Professional Home Services Eco System one trusted name at a time and today I need your help filling this category.

Someone you have personally used.

Someone you would call again without thinking twice.

Someone you would send your own family to. Or maybe this is your business and you are exactly who I am looking for.

My clients need people they can trust when things go wrong at home and things always go wrong at home.

The washer. The dryer. The refrigerator. The dishwasher.

These are not small problems and they never happen at a convenient time.

So tell me. Who do you know, who have you used, who do you trust or is this your business?

Drop a name, a number, a website or tag them right here in the comments. It takes ten seconds and it could make all the difference for someone in this community who needs help today.

Thank you in advance. This is exactly how good communities take care of each other.

Serafini Sells Homes and I am grateful for every single one of you.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT and I need your help.

After 23 years in real estate, I have seen it all. And the one thing that never changes, not ever, is that someone needs help finding a trusted professional for their home. Every. Single. Day.

So I built something.

Introducing my Christine Serafini Private Professional Home Services Eco System: a living, growing directory of over 180 categories of trusted local vendors and service professionals, built for my clients, my colleagues, and this entire community.

Roofers. Plumbers. Attorneys. Movers. Cleaners. Electricians. Landscapers. Mortgage lenders. Snow removal. Solar companies. Emergency vets. Wedding planners. Storage units. Appliance repair. And so much more.

If it is something a homeowner could ever need, it is in this directory.

Watch the video below to hear the full story.

And here is where YOU come in.

Starting tomorrow morning at 8AM - every single day - I will be posting one category at a time right here on this page and asking one simple question:

Do you know someone in this field you have used, trust, and would recommend without hesitation?

It could be a neighbor. A friend. A family member. Or YOUR OWN business.

Drop a name. Tag someone. Share a link. That is all it takes.

I am not looking for just anyone. I need reliable, active, local professionals who take pride in their work and are ready to serve my clients the way I serve them with care, commitment, and follow through.

There is zero cost to be part of my Eco System.

All I ask in return that when real estate comes up, think of me.

Think Christine Serafini. Call Christine Serafini.

Because Serafini Sells Homes.

Follow this page and tune in tomorrow at 8AM for Day 1.
