We know that markets go up and down and real estate is no exception.  What has been normal in the past 10 years is violent ups and then downs.  The long Island real estate market has not been stable for a decade. Recent statistics show there has been change.  The first indicator is the absorption rate.  The number of months it would take to absorb the current inventory at the current pace of sales.  In Nassau County the absorption rate last Nov 1st was 7 months – a year later also 7 months.  What’s different this year are the inventory levels.  Last year there were 6697 homes still on the market as of Nov 1st. This year a healthier 7067.  As inventory increases sales increase to keep up the pace.  Buyers have more to look at the last two months of this year than they did last year. By c... 11/10/2014

The main story for Syosset real estate in 2013 is the story about the inventory. While the average absorption rate for 2012 was 7 months.  In 2013 that average dropped to 4 months. Absorption rate is calculated by dividing the amount of inventory by the number of sales. Any absorption rate above 6 months indicates a buyers market.  Any absorption rate under 6 months is a sellers market. So moving from 7 months to 4 months the market has moved to the sellers advantage.  Prices have not risen dramatically yet - about 3-5% but if the trend continues and I think that it will prices should firm up more next year.  Good news for sellers. Not so good for buyers.  11/18/2013
