If you're thinking about buying or selling real estate in Bellmore on Long Island, you'd be wise to take a look at the statistics and see what they're telling us.  Understand, however, when you do your research, you can only see data of homes sold during a finite time period, in this case, May 1 - 31, 2011.  It may not include the style and/or location of a property that is of interest to you, so the numbers could be skewed.  While statistics can certainly give us some indication of what current real estate market conditions are in Bellmore, they are just one of many reference points that can help us in a search for a home or a proper pricing strategy for selling your home. The first chart shows you the statistics for May, 2011 for closed sales in all the Bellmores (North Bellmore, Bel...

I decided to do an Open House on my South Bellmore waterfront property today with the full realization that the likelihood was, there would be little to no traffic on this absolutely beautiful Memorial Day weekend.  After a brutal winter and a water logged spring, people were champing at the bit to have something to celebrate.  With events all over Long Island commemorating the reason for this holiday, those who died in the service of this country, there was no shortage of places to go.  All you needed was some gas in your car and a willingness to deal with the traffic to get there. I got unexpectedly lucky.  Forget about foot traffic into my listing, there was little vehicular traffic on the streets anywhere in town.  I decided finally to get some air and possibly take a short walk dow...

When I walked out to the deck of my waterfront listing in South Bellmore yesterday, the crocus proclaimed loudly that spring was indeed upon us.  My heart soared.  After this long and arduous winter, we and all of natures bounty deserve a rebirth.  A secondary reason for my unbounded positive energy today comes by way of my new smart phone, which, by the way is responsible for this photo.  With a quality 5 megapixel rear facing camera, it captured some great shots.  I was even able to crop this one without it degrading too much, making it a viable option when I forget to tote my SLR with me. Make yours a great day today as well.

Bellmore is located on the south shore of Long Island, about 27 miles east of Manhattan and 10 miles east of the county line, separating Queens, a borough of New York City, from Nassau County. A 43 scheduled minute ride on the Long Island Railroad will take you into Penn Station in midtown Manhattan, making Bellmore an ideal location for commuters routinely travelling into the city. With excellent schools, a charming revitalized village, and a wide range of price points for real estate, you just might want to consider searching for a home in any of the Bellmores (North Bellmore, Bellmore or South Bellmore). Styles of homes are many and varied, including capes, colonials, splits, splanches, ranches, hi ranches and tudors, with a smattering of new construction in the mix. Bellmore also o...

On a stormy day on Long Island's south shore, mother nature said, it's not over yet, as the last rose of summer stood strong and tall despite freezing temperatures, strong winds and rain.  There is beauty in the lone shock of color, barren tree limbs, tempest tossed waters and gray skies.  And the cycle goes on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the author:  Geri Sonkin is a Licensed Broker Associate/Stager/Decorator serving Long Island sellers and buyers for over 24 years.

The 12th of December conjures up many things in the northeast.  On the literal cusp of winter in the middle of Nassau County on Long Island, you expect cold weather as we've had for days, you expect wind and rain, or even snow, but the last thing you expect to see this time of year is a blooming rose.  So touched by it's strength, beauty and will to live, I felt compelled to commit it to print.  Against all odds it stands tall, defying nature.

What a serene way to spend a fall Sunday on Long Island.  I was fortunate enough to hold an open house in South Bellmore on the water on what turned out to be a picture perfect day.  Though I've sat here before, relaxing, watching the boats go by, there is something special about this place as the seasons change.  I love the juxtaposition of the still blue water and the branches of the tree, almost devoid of leaves, predicting the not too distant future. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the author:  Geri Sonkin is a Licensed Broker Associate/Stager/Decorator serving Long Island sellers and buyers for over 24 years.
