Thinking About Buying or Selling? Here’s What You Need to Know Right Now in the Long Island & NYC Market

If you’ve been wondering whether now is the right time to buy or sell, you’re not alone. The real estate market has been moving fast — and understanding what’s really happening can make all the difference in your decision.

I work every day with buyers and sellers in Hempstead, Uniondale, Baldwin, Roosevelt, Queens, and Brooklyn, and here’s what I’m seeing:

1. Prices Are Holding Strong

On average, homes in our area are selling around the $650,000–$700,000 range. While interest rates have been higher than in previous years, buyer demand hasn’t disappeared — especially for well-priced homes in good condition.

2. Sellers Still Have the Advantage

Inventory (the number of homes for sale) is still relatively low, which means serious buyers are competing for the right property. If you’re a seller and your home shows well, you have a strong chance of selling quickly and at a solid price.

3. Buyers Need to Be Ready

If you’re thinking about buying, preparation is everything. That means getting pre-approved for a mortgage, knowing exactly what neighborhoods you want, and being ready to make an offer when the right home comes along.

4. Local Expertise Matters

Every neighborhood has its own trends. Uniondale might be heating up while another area cools. Having a local agent (hi, that’s me!) who knows the ins and outs of each market can save you time, money, and stress.

 Bottom line: Whether you’re buying or selling, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to give you straight answers, guide you through the process, and help you get the results you’re looking for.
