BEACH HOUSE ANYONE?


Whoa Nelly, the real estate market here in Montauk has not skipped a beat and it may be January, and we may have two feet of snow, but people are scooping up houses like you wouldn't believe! It's an exciting time! 
Priced to sell, a great listing will be on the market no more than a few weeks. Smart investors are catching the wave with other buyers who regularly surf our site and are taking advantage of a  twenty year low  in interest rates.  Omg, interest rates are at 3%  for qualified buyers. If you are procrastinating a bit, taking your time and waiting for the perfect situation, it's time to stop looking and start buying or you'll miss some good opportunities. 
 Television series like " The Affair" have continued to put us on the map. NO, not everyone out here is having an affair with a local girl (smh) but to the show's credit, the publicity has been good and once Hollywood finds you things will never be the same. That's so true for our real estate market. Montauk is hot, hot, hot! 
Homes are priced to sell and sellers are getting close to their ask.  I wouldn't say it's a buyers market OR a sellers market. It truly is a  healthy market with deals being made that send everybody walking away from the closing table happy. 
If you've been dreaming about a second home in Montauk, it's time wake up and smell the coffee. 
Give us a call or you'll miss out on some really great listings. Ditch Plains continues to be the surfing capital of the NorthEast and we have a newly listed, fabulous beach house  for you located directly across from the ocean beach.  Exclusive with our office, it's offers 4 bedrooms, A/C, fireplace, and lots of decking. Recently remodeled and ready for you to move in, it is the quintessential "beach house". Don't  miss out and let a little snow scare you; I have a snow shovel and I'm not afraid to use it!
See you at the beach! Best, Nancy Keeshan
