Mortgage Rates & Low Inventory

Higher mortgage rates and the resulting higher monthly payments is not the only issue affecting today’s housing market. The much bigger effect of the higher mortgage rates is the decrease in the number of homes being offered for sale. Most property owners are keeping their homes ‘off the market’ because they cannot afford to give up the mortgage that is financing their home.

The result is LOW INVENTORY. This term is being used by every media source out there to characterize today’s housing market.

Even though there are fewer buyers, there are still buyers in virtually every level of the housing market and they have accepted the higher rates as a fact of life. There are so few houses being offered on the market right now, that there is often lots of competition – the listing goes to “Highest & Best” and many first-time homebuyers get outbid.

How can we see the effect in our market?
Here is a snapshot of several local markets.

Sold Properties
				Median Sold Price
	6/30/23	6/30/22	% change	6/30/23	6/30/22	% change
Bronxville Village	28	38	-26.3%	$2,552,500	$2,850,000	-10.4%

Bronxville PO	20	38	-90.0%	$1,014,599	$ 832,500	+21.9%

Eastchester	30	55	-45.5%	$ 855,000	$ 830,000	+3.00%

Pelham	45	56	-19.6%	$1,085,000	$1,111,250	-2.40%

Scarsdale	76	123	-38.2%	$1,975,000	$2,050,000	-3.70%

Tuckahoe	17	33	-48.5%	$ 859,000	$ 835,000	+ 2.90%

The low inventory has caused the volume of transactions to tumble significantly from the first half of 2023 compared to the same period last year as shown on the table above. At the same time, some buyers that bought homes in 2023 paid higher prices than the prior year. For the foreseeable future, we will have a solid sellers’ market. The game changer will be if inventory starts to build but there is nothing pointing in that direction at this time.

Key take away- the real estate market is always fluctuating. The constant is, is that people still want to own their own place. Feel free to call and chat with one of our experienced real estate professionals.

Buying a Condominium, Pros & Cons – [Q & A WITH JOE HOULIHAN]

Amout Villa Magazine recently conducted a Q&A with Joe Houlihan about buying a condo for a home, read what he had to say in this post. And, remember to call Houlihan & O’Malley to speak with one of our expert agents about your real estate needs; buying, selling, renting, we’re here for you!

Q: What are the benefits of owning a condominium vs. a house? Drawbacks?
A: Probably the most popular benefit of owning a condominium is that you are not responsible for any outside maintenance. The condo association takes care of shoveling, snowplowing, landscaping, roofs, painting the exterior, paving, and more – all of those things that can drain your budget and your time when you own a house. Additionally, condos often come with a variety of amenities, like a clubhouse, pool, playground, basketball and tennis courts, and community center.

There are certain drawbacks to a condo, however. You lose a level of privacy, and have a lot of neighbors in very close proximity, which can be noisy. Parking can also be a challenge, depending on the development. Also, with a house, you have free reign to do what you like to the exterior and your yard. As an owner of a condo, you will belong to a homeowners association, and there are certain rules that must be followed, including items such as specified hours that workers can come to your home, exterior paint colors, and facade maintenance regulations regarding fences and plantings. Also, homeowner associations can raise fees if a huge maintenance issue comes up (e.g., windows need to be replaced).

Q: What is the difference between a condo and a co-op? What’s a better bargain in this market?
A: When you purchase a condo, you are purchasing actual real property. Co-ops are owned by a corporation, and when you purchase a co-op you are buying shares of that corporation, so you are more like an investor. Co-ops are run by boards, and have a monthly maintenance fee to cover building expenses and upkeep. Additionally, the approval process to purchase a co-op is much more onerous and time-consuming than with a condo. Finally, co-op boards often do not allow subletting at all and, if they do, the rules are very restrictive, as co-op boards want most of the building to be owner-occupied. It is much easier to purchase a condominium, and the rules are generally more relaxed. The problem buyers run into is that condos are hard to come by in certain marketplaces such as southern Westchester where Co-ops are most common.

Q: Are there any specific professions/people that seem to do better in condos?
A: People who like condos want to relieve themselves of the responsibilities of house maintenance, such as cleaning the gutters, mowing the lawn, and fixing the roof. Condos are especially suited to people who have second homes. That way they can go away for three days, or even three months, and not have to worry about such home maintenance issues as shoveling the walkway after a snowstorm. Condos are also great for working couples, who are both so busy with their jobs that they don’t have time for maintenance issues, as well as seniors, who may not want to or physically be able to take care of their homes anymore.

2021-Westchester Real Estate-One for the Record Books

Unprecedented Times – 2021

The global pandemic remains in full swing as we bring the year to a close. There have been ebbs and flows as we seem to conquer one variant and then succumb to another. The residential real estate market has had quite a ride this year as well. In the early part of the year, as vaccination rates increased, the market was ‘jubilant’ with buyers scrambling for almost every property that became available. Bidding wars dominated and first-time buyers were frustrated even if they had more than a 20% down payment.

As we got to the summer months, things got less hectic but contracts continued to get signed. In terms of the numbers — here they are hot off the press. This information is for the single-family home market in five (5) specific areas in lower Westchester.

Bronxville, Bronxville PO and Crestwood did not have a huge difference in sales volume, although the median price went up substantially. As you can see the larger impact was felt in Eastchester with a substantial increase in both volume & sales price. Tuckahoe showed a nice increase in the number of sales but the median price went down a bit.

Looking ahead-2022 should be another interesting year in real estate.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Joe’s Corner – Houlihan & O’Malley Real Estate Services

How We Sometimes Operate like a Concierge Service

Concierge Services aren’t just for hotels. This is a white-glove level of service designed to prompt next-level customer loyalty. And that’s how Houlihan & O’Malley operates on many occasions. Primarily, clients view a concierge as a trusted advisor — even in Real Estate, someone who can make recommendations or suggestions about who to use for new windows, plumbing issues, getting a dumpster, or just something as simple as who to call for a small paint job.

A Real Estate Concierge assists clients by performing various tasks such as:

Picking up mail for the owners while out of town
Turning the lights on and off (before & after showings)
Turning the alarm off and on (before & after showings)
Commissioning handyman services

Coordinating repairs with the appropriate service people; Locating hard-to-find trades people — Locksmiths, Stain Glass Repair, etc.
House Cleaning Services

Landscapers/Lawn Services

Organization/De-cluttering
Decorating Help
Staging

These services are extremely invaluable to a homeowner.

Even something as simple as getting your house documents that are on file in your town building department. Before we meet our clients, we go to the building department to obtain all the paperwork on the house — checking for closed & open permits, Certificate of Occupancy (CO), etc. We have great relationships with many of the local building departments, whereas most individuals do not even know where to go.

That is what concierge services are all about. If we can’t do it, we’ll find someone who can.

Houlihan & O’Malley Real Estate Services has been around for 30+ years-we are a small boutique agency, family owned and operated with local talent and commitment to all!
