The length of time a property is on the market is a significant factor in the selling process. Buyers want to know how long a home has been on the market before making an offer. Most buyers will make a lower offer when a home has been on the market for more than 30 days. They assume the seller is so anxious for a sale, they will accept less. However, if a home has been available for only a few days, buyers tend to make offers closer to the list price. If the days on market is very high, some buyers will not even consider a property, thinking something may be wrong with it. Educated buyers know what is probably “wrong” is the price was set higher than current market values and they use high days on market to their advantage in negotiating lower offers.

Sellers need to be aware of days on market for two reasons. First, the more time their home is on the market, the lower the offers will be from buyers. This is why properties almost always sell at their highest price in the first days of exposure to the market, especially in depreciating markets when prices are falling. Review the statistical graphs for your area to see if inventory is still high compared to sales, indicating a continuing depreciating market.

Second, sellers need to consider average days on market for the brokerage company they choose to represent them. Coldwell Banker has lower average days on market because we assist sellers in positioning their home to sell in the first days of exposure, resulting in the highest possible price in the current market.

If you would like to discuss how days on market statistics affect your situation, or if you or anyone you know needs advice about today's housing market, please contact me.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Hi Everyone,

The toy drive will be held from Monday, November 23rd through December 23rd.

All toys must be new and unwrapped.

Gift cards are accepted for the older children.

Ages are from Newborn through 18 years old.

You may drop them off at my office: Coldwell Banker 136 W. Main Street, Babylon, NY 11702

I am there most mornings through the early afternoon.

You can also mail the gift cards.

I truly appreciate any and all help to make this toy drive a huge success!

Visit the website: John Thiessen Children's Foundation


John got the idea for this wonderful organization from a little girl. When John was a teenager, he was stricken with cancer. He would go every week for his treatments and there was this little girl there too. John noticed that no one was ever there with her, she was alone. He asked her about it and she said she would get dropped off and picked up later. I know, very, very sad! She one day gave John a teddy bear to give him comfort. He thought she needed more comfort than him. So, that is how he got the idea. Every holiday season they deliver toys to sick and needy children.

John and my husband have also been friends for many years.

The toys do not have to be expensive so whatever you can afford, I will greatly appreciate it and so will John!

Last year my husband won a contest that Subway and Mastercard were having. We won to go see the Jet's game and go down on the field during half time for the Superbowl Reunion III that included Joe Namath.

We were ushered to the tunnel and were with the families of the reunion team members. I struck up a conversation with a really nice woman named Denzi from Atlanta, Georgia. Her husband is Don Maynard. She was telling me that her hubby and Joe are great friends. They used to room together for years in the early days.

So, I told her my son collects autographs and she takes my son by the arm and brings him to Joe Namath. At first he was reluctant since he doesn't sign autographs anymore due to people selling them but he did because of her. I will never forget wha she did for my son.

We also met Mark Gastineau and his wife. She was so NICE as well! Here is a pic:

I found a Youtube video: Super Bowl III We were on the field at that point but not right in front of them yet. Here are some pics of that day that I took and I hope you enjoy them!
