West Babylon NY - What Is The Difference Between A Condo & A Townhouse? I love this question! I'm working with a buyer who is wanting to buy a condo and they asked me this question last week. Condo - You are responsible for the inside of the home. You can paint whatever color you want. You can do whatever you want on the inside. You own the unit. You also own a certain percentage of the surrounding property. You belong to a Homeowner's Association and your HOA fees pay for the maintenance of the common property including pool maintenance (if there is one). Townhouse - You are responsible for the inside of the home. Again, you can do whatever upgrades you want to do on the inside. You also own the land beneath your unit. Townhomes generally have their own roofs. Some developments even h...

West Babylon NY Real Estate Sold Prices For 2010199 homes sold in West Babylon NY in 2010. Sold prices range from $58,000 to $750,000. As you can see in my chart, the last quarter in 2010 pretty much held steady. I'm hoping that trend continues for 2011. The average property tax is $8,414. The average listing price to sold price ratio is 5.07%. This means that the average home in West Babylon NY sold for a little less than 95% of asking price. This is why I say a good home deserves a good sold price!Out of the 199 homes that sold in 2010, 25 of them are short sales and 16 are REO properties. It's a good thing to get short sales and REO properties sold and off the market. Too many of either can drive the West Babylon NY real estate market down. Currently there are 43 short sale homes on ...

West Babylon NY Co-Ops: What Is A Co-Op?Co-ops are more affordable than a single family home for the most part. You own shares, not the unit. Fisherman's Wharf in West Babylon NY is a Co-op development. This particular development either has lower units or upper units. There are no duplexes. All co-ops have maintenance fees.
