Three Village School District Homes Market Trend Report - May 2008. This report shows a statisical comparison between the first quarter averages and the months of April and May for 2008, in addition to a year-over-year comparison. This report provides information about homes sold in the Three Village School District including: location of homes, list price, sold price and days on market.
It is important to note that monthly reports provide a relatively small sampling of homes which often times results in extreme fluctuations that may or may not be indicative of the market trend for the Three Village School District. The quarterly market trend has more data, and as such, gives a more accurate look at the current market trend. However, it should be noted that the market data is still relatively small and subject to extreme fluctuations based on sales that are atypical of the rest of the sales in the Three Village School District.
This report is designed to give factual information about sales in the Three Village School District. As is the case with many school districts on Long Island, the Three Village School District has a very broad spectrum of home prices (starter, mid-level, luxury), and the value of individual homes cannot be determined by evaluating broad market trends. If you are interested in finding out the market value for your particular home, you should consider having an actual market analysis done.
These reports are done by school district rather than town because school districts play a very important role in home prices on Long Island.
Below the actual data you will find an analysis of the real estate trends for homes in the Three Village School District.
MAY 2008 HOME SALES
MAY 2007 HOME SALES
YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPARISONS
MARKET TREND ANALYSIS:
The numbers for May showed a decline in comparison to the first quarter average, the month of April and May of 2007.
CONCLUSION:
May was an unusual month for home sales in the Three Village School District. There were several home sales in the entry level range, and very few in the luxury range, whereas in May of 2007 there were some big luxury home sales. This explains the price drop compared to last year, and may be a contributing factor for the comparison to this year's numbers.
The bottom line is that inventory levels are still rising in the district, although not by as much during this month. Homebuyers in all price ranges will have a number of homes to choose from. This is something that home sellers should be mindful of when pricing their homes, and also making sure that their homes are in showing condition.

MAY 2008 HOME SALES
MAY 2007 HOME SALES
YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPARISONS
MARKET TREND ANALYSIS:
Overall, the home prices declined a bit from April, but were still higher than the first quarter average and also May of 2007. The average days on market showed a significant increase in comparison to this year and last year. The ratio of sales price to list price continued to be below that of 2007.
CONCLUSION:
The Syosset School District has an unusual market because the homes range from starter to trade-up to luxury. Each of these markets act as their own sub-markets. Overall, there are positive trends in the market. However, homeowners should expect that it will take some time to sell their home, and that the sales price ratios are lower in Syosset than other parts of Long Island. Homebuyers have an opportunity to find the home that best fits their needs in the district due to the rising inventory levels.

MAY 2008 HOME SALES
MAY 2007 HOME SALES
YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPARISONS
MARKET TREND ANALYSIS:
The average sales price, average list price and ratio of sales price to list price all showed improvement in May, compared to the first quarter average and the month of May. However, the inventory continued to rise at a faster rate than last May or anytime this year.
CONCLUSION:
Prices rising is good news, but inventory rising will keep the prices in check for homeowners coming on the market now. As is the case with most of Long Island, competitive pricing is the key to success in selling your home. Whilie home prices rose on average, homebuyers should be encouraged by the amount of inventory available. There has even been some opportunity for first-time homebuyers to get into the district, which has been a limited in recent years.

MAY 2008 HOME SALES
MAY 2007 HOME SALES
YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPARISONS
MARKET TREND ANALYSIS:
The overall numbers for the month of May were down in comparison to the first quarter averages, the month of April and May of 2007.
CONCLUSION:
As is the case with many areas of Long Island, there were a few home sales that were well below average that contributed to the lower overall numbers. Since the analysis is based on a relatively small sample size, it is easy for the numbers to be easily impacted.
The most positive number for the month was that fewer homes came on the market than the first quarter average, the month of April or even May of 2007, while more closings took place. This means that inventory grew at a smaller rate. However, there is still a decent amount of inventory available in the Plainveiw - Old Bethpage School District, so homeowners that are that interested in selling their home must be competitively priced.
Homebuyers that are interested in moving into the area are finding good opportunities below the $500,000 mark. This was rare in previous years.

Long Islanders are relocating out of NY. The LI Relo Guy will help you sell your home with my special relocation program and refer you to a local expert in your destination of choice.
Relocating to North Carolina? Arizona? South Carolina? Virginia? Florida? Geogia? A different state? If you're from Long Island and you answered yes to any of these locations, then you've come to the right place.
Greetings from "The L.I. Relo Guy". "Relo" is the common term used for relocation, which is something that Long Islanders are currently doing with great frequency.
As a native Long Islander, I understand the appeal of living on Long Island. Living on Long Island affords you the opportunity to: benefit from the great beaches, enjoy outstanding restaurants, spend recreation time in amazing state parks, play golf on numerous courses, go fishing for a variety of fish, attend concerts and sporting events, participate in cultural activities, shop at an abundance of retail stores and outlets, and drive out to the East End where you can visit the wineries to sample local wines.
We have a very unique community with its own personality that binds us no matter what part of Long Island we are from, although there are sub-cultures within the fabric of our community based on geographical location. Nonetheless, whether you are from Suffolk County or Nassau County, the South Shore or the North Shore of Long Island, you are first and foremost a Long Islander.
However, all of the amenities mentioned above, combined with some of the best schools in the country, come at a price that has a number of Long Islanders searching for greener pastures. Rising home prices and taxes are beginning to take its toll on first time homebuyers, downsizing seniors, and to a degree, everyone in between. More often than not, home sellers are looking to relocate to places where their taxes will be lower, home prices will be more affordable, traffic and congestion will be minimal and the weather is warm all year round.
Research has shown that the most sought after areas for Long Islanders are: North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona, Virginia, Florida and Georgia. While it's difficult to watch Long Islanders leaving the place that they have called home all of their lives, it is the reality that exists.
My goal is to help Long Islanders have as smooth a transition process as possible in relocating to other parts of the country. As a licensed New York REALTOR®, and Long Island relocation specialist, I offer all of the tools that are necessary to get you and your family established in another part of the country.
Before your home even goes in the market, it is important that you've researched various relocation destinations to make sure that the area that you've chosen has what you're looking for, as everyone's needs are different. For some, good schools may be most important. For others, it may be proximity to healthcare facilities. The one common theme will most likely be cost of housing and cost of living. To see a cost of living comparison between various areas, you can use this Cost Of Living Calculator, and to evaluate what your likely salary would be in various areas, you can use this Salary Comparison Calculator.
Once you have narrowed down your choices of relocation destinations by doing your research, you will want to visit each location to see if it is a good fit for you. As part of my relocation service, I will put you in touch with a local expert that can not only help you with your home search, but also educate you about life in their particular area. Often times, these are people that have relocated to the area themselves, so they know the exact issues that you are dealing with. This team of professionals has been carefully screened to make sure that they are in fact prepared to handle all of your relocation needs. This service is offered to you, at no charge, for locations virtually everywhere in the world!
After you've decided on your relocation destination, you will need to place your home on the market. Long Islanders that are moving out of the area will automatically qualify for my special relocation marketing plan which is designed to sell your home as quickly as possible, for the highest amount of money and the least amount of hassle. My goal is to have you start your new life in the best possible way.
All I ask in return, is that if you are happy with the service that you receive, that you recommend me to your friends and family that are in need of the same professional services that I provided.
Oh yeah...and a postcard from your new location letting me know how happy you are in your new home.
