Real Estate in 2024

By ann

I’m excited about the optimism from economists and lenders regarding the 2024 real estate market

Several key factors:

Interest rates have improved, and we expect further rate reductions next year.

Vacation home ownership remains a dream for so many.

The ability to rent out a shore home provides financial options for buyers.

Avalon and Stone Harbor are “brand names” with established market stability.

Up in the air…

By ann

For structurally solid homes, elevating is an option to bring a building up to code.

Elevation is a major component of the process of obtaining building permits for substantial renovations.

If the structure does not meet the current elevation codes, the owner must either elevate or build new.

November Snow?

A quick snow squall over the island this morning. I guess winter is REALLY coming…

Real Life Lessons

By ann

With every personal real estate experience, I learn valuable lessons.

When I rent a vacation home, I can better relate to the needs of our summer renters.

As a landlord, I understand the hard work that goes into preparing and maintaining a rental property.

I’ve purchased and sold several primary and second homes, and appreciate the emotional side of those transactions.

The financial aspects of real estate ownership are important, and my experiences include participating in a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange, understanding depreciation, calculating capital gains, passive losses, deductions, etc.

I live here…and work here…and provide a “lifetime of experience” to all of my customers.

Thank you for your business!

Licenses for Rental Properties

By ann

Our local municipalities require annual inspections and licenses for all rental properties.

And, although it can be cumbersome for landlords to comply with the ever changing list of regulations, the ultimate goal is to ensure a safe rental experience for the tenants.

The benefit of a thorough inspection was validated after reading the news article about a tragic fire in the Hamptons. Devastating.

During the summer months, rental agents often trouble shoot the annoying beep of a smoke or CO detector. Owners may be frustrated that an electrician is needed to properly resolve the issue; mainly because hardwired detectors are purposely linked so that all alarms will sound.

Our priority must be compliance with all of the code requirements, as well as a quick response to safety concerns. It’s sad when a tragedy reinforces this fact.

Shore Life

By ann

I am fully aware that I have a unique life.

Yesterday, after my regular morning walk on the beach, I rode my bike to work.

My out of the office business tasks were a just short ride away (the perks of working on an island), and allowed me to enjoy the perfect weather.

My husband and I ate dinner out on the deck. Then we walked down to the beach to watch the full moon rise over the ocean, and over to the bay to see the remaining sunset colors in the sky.

I definitely do not take any of this for granted.
