Long Island Home Buyer Tell Us About Yourself

Want to Buy a Long Island Home or Condo? Let’s Find Out A Little About Your Lifestyle

 

It’s always interesting when Larry and I meet new Long Island home buyers for the first time. It’s all about getting to know them.  Some are nervous, some are very excited, some are impulsive, and some are overwhelmed and do not have a clue as to what they are looking for.

So, help us a little to make this process of home buying a successful experience for everyone.

  • First, and Most Important: Are you working with any other agents?
  • What is your budget?
  • Number of bedrooms and baths
  • Style of home
  • Size of property
  • What Town(s)
  • Is there any style home that you definitely don’t want?
  • Where do you want to live?

It would also be helpful to discuss your lifestyle.  Do you like being near the beach, vibrant towns, or have easy access to The Long Island Railroad.

If you’re not familiar with the Towns and Hamlets on Long Island, searching for a Nassau or Suffolk County NY home on the internet can be overwhelming, especially if the home does not fit your lifestyle. If you are just trying to find a pretty home without taking into account other important needs, you may be disappointed.

We received a call from an out-of-state buyer. They sent us a list of homes they were interested in seeing on Long Island, and if available, any one of them they would buy. We took them around showing every home on their list. Once we showed them these houses, none of them would work for them. A few were on a main road, which they didn’t want. One was next door to a firehouse, and 3 were too far from work. Yes, I asked them during our texting back and forth if there was anything that would distract them from purchasing any of their choices. They said “No we don’t care where they are located”…

So they found out quickly that just because a house looks perfect online, it may not be the right house for them and location, location, location matters!

Matching a buyer’s lifestyle and finding them the right home is what we try to determine to find our clients their happily- ever-after…

Remember, Work with Agents Who Serve…Not Sell!

Long Island Home Buyers, What Type Of Home Are You Looking For On The North Shore?

/in /by

Buyers, What Type Of Home Are You Looking For On The North Shore Of Long Island?

New or old, or somewhere in-between?

Here on The North Shore Of Long Island we have a large selection of older and newer homes for you to choose from, as well as the existing middle-ground homes.  

The Older Home ~Today, it seems that there is an interest in the Older Home and this may be the preference for many buyers.  We are finding that many young couples now have an interest in older homes. They like the charm and character of an older home. Unlike a basic Ranch or Split Level house that they may have grown up in, they like the difference that no two older homes are completely alike. The problem though with an older home can be the lack of conveniences that Americans have come to expect. The size of the rooms may be smaller. The number of bedrooms is usually less,  and sometimes the closet space may be very limited with no storage at all. Many older homes do not have a garage and if they do it’s usually only a one car garage. And there’s also the wiring, electric and plumbing that may need lots of repair and updating.

The Newer Home ~ There are also those who only want New.  We are noticing that Baby Boomers are now striving for Newer homes. They’ve lived in their family houses for years and maybe updated it here and there, but now have no desire to Redo again.

They want new modern conveniences like open kitchens with granite and stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors and maybe even a wine cooler. They want central air conditioning and central vacuum systems. Although they may not want or need a larger residence, they do like the new energy efficient details in the newer homes. And, they really like the fact that no one has ever lived in the house or condo before.

The drawbacks are the lack of mature landscaping, the smaller size lot, and that many homes look the same as the neighbors. Also, because they are new, taxes may be higher and there’s no history as to how these newer homes will increase in value.

Existing Middle-Ground Homes ~ Buyers also like established traditional neighborhood homes like a Colonial, Split Level, Ranch or Contemporary style house. They like the familiarity of these homes. Maybe they grew up in one of the same and feel comfortable in this style. Maybe they like the ease around a Ranch style, the openness of a Contemporary or the Tri-levels of a Split.

The disadvantage may mean that these existing homes may need some updating. The kitchens and bathrooms especially are the first to be renovated, and the old outdated carpeting and wallpaper has to be removed. 

Each choice has its advantages, and there’s no right answer that works for everyone here on Long Island’s North Shore.

So Long Islander’s, what type of home is right for you? The Choice Is Yours!
