I took a much-needed Sabbatical the last few months, hanging out with my kids and grandkids.  For the most part, I haven't made any posts because I was and am having way too much fun with them. and wasn't really concerned or worried about business.  However, I actually had the best Dec, Jan, and Feb in 32 years of doing real estate full-time.  I guess my referral branding and consistent advertising enabled me to accomplish those very lucrative 3 months.  I guess luck is equal to timing, and mine was perfectly spot on.Had tons of fun with the kids while earning what I thought would have been a slower winter period, but never imagined it would have been this good.  So I benefited on the family end as well as in my bank account.  Double whammy.Taking time off for me was a fantastic way to ...

Sold median prices for residential property from August through September saw a modest increase of 1.2% month over month from $760,800 to $770,000.  However, year over year prices are up 10%.  It appears that the demand is still insatiable for those who still have the need or as some call it fomo (fear of missing out) in purchasing a home. However, the number of homes sold decreased from 8915 to 8,254, a 7.4% decrease.  The lack of inventory can be directly attributed to these statistics. Although interest rates are lower than last year, the decrease in the Fed rate by ½% (overnight lending rate between banks) did not affect mortgage rates.  The week after this decrease, rates increased to 6.9% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. The chart below provides a clear picture of the residentia...

Happy Halloween!! I had the pleasure of pre-celebrating Halloween yesterday by facilitating a drum circle for "Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands" programing through the Parker Jewish Institute for caregivers and populations navigating Alzheimer's and dementia. We enjoyed some sweet treats and great beats!We even played a drumming zombie game in honor of Halloween! This game was inspired by Rhythm2Recovery where we had one person (me, haha) stand in the center of the drum circle and slowly move like zombie toward other drummers who are playing, lol! The way for drummers to not become zombified was by sharing one interesting unknown fact about themselves with the group. From this interaction we learned that a couple who was drumming with us has been married for 61 years!! We also found out, b...

Grieving your real estate taxes is the first step in saving money.  It can be accomplished by yourself or by hiring a company to file and complete the process.  It can take up to 18 months to obtain the results, so patience is required.   However, there are some misconceptions about filing a grievance and you should be aware of them.1.)  Filing a grievance could result in increasing my taxes.  In NYS and Nassau County, it states that’s not the case.  Nassau County’s official site, states that “The Assessment Review Commission will never increase the assessment” when you file your grievance.2.) Filing a tax grievance will not create a situation, where Nassau officials will personally inspect your home.  Instead, they will use comparable sales which is public information to determine the ...

The other week I had the pleasure of facilitating an intergenerationl drum circle in support of a community health program sponsored by the Jewish Parker Institute at the Lakeview Public Library in New York. We had 7 children and 12 adults creating rhythmic music together! Drumming is a fantastic way to improve social connections, provide an outlet for self expression, encourage deep listening, being present and having fun! There are so many benefits! There was talk about setting up a children's drum circle at the Lakeview Public Library. You can follow my events page for more info.

                   Home Business All Things Real Estate: The possibilities of securing financing Business All Things Real Estate: The possibilities of securing an financing By Philip A Raices- August 19, 2024   Many are waiting for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to announce a ¼ point reduction in interest rates in September. This will assist those who have the money to afford to buy a home, condo, or even a coop. But that small decrease won’t be that substantial, as prices continue to increase here in Long Island. As I mentioned many times in my past columns, with historic lows in inventory (as of July, there were three months of available housing), there is still consistent demand, and some bidding wars are gobbling up homes; even some buyers are offering above the asking price. My real conce...

Over the weekend I worked with a client who lives in Nassau County, NY. During our Feng Shui consultation she brought up the topic of loud noises that have increased over the years within her neighborhood. She described noises relating to car traffic, airplanes, trains and at times late night neighborhood parties. She asked me, would this be considered a negative in the practice of Feng Shui?The quick answer is, yes. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, noise pollution is defined as "unwanted or disturbing sound”. In modern-day Feng Shui practices we classify this as "sha", life draining energy.In the article "Sha Energy in Feng Shui - Noise Pollution" I offer some additional insights about how noise pollution can affect our well-being, paired with the biggest...
