My sister in law and brother in law are also looking- and trying to sell their condo. So far they havn't found anything, but I think they are only looking in Oyster Bay, so they have limited themselves. But they are not in a huuuge hurry either. Anyway, best of luck with your search. Im sure it is annoying and stressful- but will totally eb worth it in the end!!!!

Re: Who Recently bought a house and where?????

we're in the process of selling our condo and buying a house. we put our condo on the market in july, and are set to close in about 2 weeks. we started going to open houses as soon as we put our place on the market, then started seriously looking once we accepted an offer and were in contract. by going the open houses we were able to find out what style houses suited our needs best, what areas we liked/disliked.

we originally had over 10 neighborhoods we were considering, then narrowed it down. it was very important for us to be close to family. we are now about to go into contract for a house in east meadow. it's a long tiring process. there were days when i'd get really disappointed, but things have turned out OK so far - except for the rising mortgage rates

We recently bought a house in Wantagh. It was a short sale, so the process was a bit tedious and draining. But, I do love it, so in hindsight it was worth it.

We're selling a condo in Hoboken though!!!

hi and welcome to Wantagh. I'm here near Beech St school.

I was looking back in 1999. Now that was a tough market - - if a house was on the market longer than 1 week it was - - what's wrong with it or it was way overpriced. took me a year to fing mine and by then prices were going up by $10,000 or more per month. but prices were bargains then - - and silly me i thought I was buying at the peak!!!.



good luck to all hunting now. and hang in there. you will fing what you want.

Re: Who Recently bought a house and where?????

We bought a townhouse in Durham, NC almost two years ago. Because I was still in school, DH went down alone and picked out a place, and luckily I love it.

We are really lucky, because we've seen similar properties in not so nice areas on LI for 3x the price.

Hopefully, in a few years, we will be focusing on a forever home. FH insists that we could fit a baby in this two bedroom TH, but I definitely don't agree.

you will have better luck on the HOME board on LIF.

The home board is a more realistic place to ask home questions.

I'm just saying.

DH and I bought our house in Island Park last December. As much as I hate having more to clean, it really is just such a better idea than renting.
