Yell - if you're looking in Babylon at all (OK schools) - there is an AWESOME starter home on the market for $399. It's been on the market for over a year so they're probably really negotiable.

It's so cute and has SO much character...

Really quiet street, close to the train and village. Great location.

That is super cute and I love Babylon. The only problem is Joey and I don't want to go too far south or too far north -- we were looking into Huntington, Dix Hills, Kings Park, Commack, Nesconset, Smithtown, Lake Grove, Melville, Hicksville... problem is, we can't really afford anything in that area...

bay shore is a great school district. it has/had a weird reputation but sadly it's mainly because it has a diverse population. i grew up there and loved it!

It was an 'approved' short sale, we put in an offer, the bank accepted, we signed contracts, not the bank is changing it's mind. We've been sitting and waiting since october and i just got word in the beginning of the week that it is 99% over...

Because with short sales the bank wants to make sure they are getting as much money as they possibly can for the house since they are already taking a loss. But my whole thing is this -- if you wanted more money, you shouldn't have accepted our offer!!!!



anyway, i'm a firm believer in what's meant to be will be...

Our house was a short sale also - that's why I was curious as to how exactly the bank could get out of it AFTER they accepted your offer...I thought once that happened it was a done deal...Ours wasn't a pre-approved one, so we had to wait forever for them to accept it all, but I was under the impression that once contracts were signed after the bank accepted it, that was it...

But, you'll find something better

Danielle,

Have you tried West Islip? Its really only a few minutes south. . .Keith and I were looking in Commack, West Islip, Massapequa (school districts) Commack has SO many houses for sale, lots of splits if you like them. Some weren't too badly priced. . not sure what your budget is

Thanks honey! We are going to look at a few in the next week. I either want to buy a POS that needs a lot of work and make it *ours*, or i want to buy something that doesn't need any work and pay more. It seems like our dollar goes much further the further east we go...

Bayport has some gorgeous houses. But I'm already an hour from work and I'm in Commack.... We just started thinking about Lake Grove and Nesconset, but I can't go further than that. I'll be sitting in traffic for an hour and a half every monring...

Sayville and Comsewogue are rated top 5% in the country and are rated New York state schools of excellence, East Islip is great and three village is great.
