I am not sure that I have EVER written a Fourth Twenty - certainly not at this time of year!  The Third Twenty was published on August 8th, so we are only about 7 weeks past that.  Magnificent! The list is a bit odd - I will point out where - but I believe that it closely follows what has occurred.  We are well into the 80s for closings anyway.... 1905 Stump Road - Town of Skaneateles - unpublished sale price 1719 Russells Landing - Town of Skaneateles - $355,000 80 West Elizabeth Street - Village of Skaneateles - $150,000 1863 Sugar Maple Lane - Town of Skaneateles - $198,000  (reported twice) 9 Academy Street - Village of Skaneateles - $295,000 174 East Genesee Street - Village of Skaneateles - $270,000 2812 East Lake Road - Town of Skaneateles - $293,000 38 Academy Street - Village of Skaneateles - $349,900 25 Hannum Street - Village of Skaneateles - $225,000 4755 Austin Road - Town of Skaneateles - $278,000 1711 Lancelot Lane - Town of Skaneateles - $280,000 628 ...

Summer is over, sort of, but it doesn't feel like it is.  I've had only one new apple so far thanks to the frost, and it was hard!  Usually I stop on Route 20 coming out of Lafayette and grab the first of the Jersey Macs.  Besides not having time this year, it just hasn't felt right.  Maybe because the rush is still on for real estate, and I haven't done the fall open house with cider and donuts because everything is selling.  It's just very different this year. What is really different is the amount of business we are all doing.  Hold on to your hat! Currently there are 117 active listings in the Skaneateles area of the multiple listing service.  Of these, 34 are in the Village and 27 are reputed to be waterfront properties.  Since I last wrote on September 5th, 13 new listings have come on the market.  Five of these are re-listings with a good deal of price reductions.  All of the three waterfront listings are in this category.  I...

The past three weeks is the longest time I've been away from this blog ever, in the five or so years I've been writing it.  But business has never been better!  I start the day before dawn when Charlie gets me up if I'm at home, and then fall into my chair at night around 8:00, content to have a Corona Light and talk about the day, or just sit there.  If I'm at the lake I skip dinner altogether and go straight to a movie and falling asleep in my wicker chair.  "Make hay while the sun shines..."  It's been a bit cloudy over the past few years, not in my business, but in the market as a whole.  August.  Who knew? So to catch up.  In the listings area there really wasn't much action.  Currently there are 109 active single family homes in the Skaneateles area of the multiple listing service.  Of these, 30 are in the Village and 27 are listed as waterfront.  In the past three weeks only 6 homes have come on the market for the first time...
