Babylon NY Housing Market a 10 Year Review The Babylon NY housing market ended with the median sold price at $407,000 with 59 homes sold with an average of 82 days on the market. It was $330,000 in 2002 with 59 homes sold and an average of 91 days on the market.

Babylon NY Housing Report November 2012 Babylon NY real estate market data provided by Jackie Connelly-Fornuff of Century 21 AA Realty in Lindenhurst NY. The chart below reflects list price versus sold price in Babylon NY for 2012 and only in the Babylon School District. The numbers have been tight throughout 2012 for the Babylon NY housing market. This means that buyers aren't "stealing" homes.  They say that a seller's market is when there is less than six months of inventory on the market. Although there are more than six months of inventory on the market in Babylon NY as a whole, it also depends upon list price. Buyers in the luxury home market in Babylon NY do not have a lot of choices. So these homes are in a seller's market as long as they are priced right.  In most price ranges... 12/27/2012

Are Buyers Getting Mortgages for Babylon Village Homes? This is one question I'm asked from Babylon Village homeowners and buyers. Sellers think buyers aren't getting mortgages and buyers think it's very difficult to get a mortgage. Both are just not true. Stop watching the national news. Real estate is always local. Yes, you need a job, cash in the bank for the down payment, good credit scores and a maximum of 4 to 1 debit to income ratio. Some banks will go a little higher but not much. The days of getting a mortgage as long as you have a heartbeat are over. So far in Babylon NY for 2012, there are more buyers getting conventional mortgages than FHA. This means they have the money to put down 20% or more which is a requirement for a conventional mortgage. Some can put down less than ... 12/13/2012

Babylon NY Homes for Sale on a Cul-de-sac There are ten homes for sale in Babylon NY that are on a Cul-de-sac. Prices start at $310,000 for a two bedroom, five room ranch to $1.7M for a five bedroom, ten room Estate waterfront home. A Cul-de-sac is when the end of the street is closed at one end.
