I don't want to be cavalier about it, but between selling and showing things, closing others and this storm that never materialized in Skaneateles, it's been a long week.  I also held an open house at 5731 Sandbank Road in Elbridge and came away with a deeper appreciation for the property.  It's an amazing house, as everyone agreed who came through the open a couple days ago.  Add the property - 1.5 acres of truly a park-like setting - and it is much more than it appears from the outside.  Also, it demonstrates what you need to do prior to listing, if you look at the landscaping.  Fall is a great time to put a home on the market for this reason - all those colors!  You can see the full listing at REMAX.com or Realtor.com:  ML#S280235. (Sorry - I tried to upload a photo but blogger was having none of it today...could it be the storm?) During this week, there were 104 active listings in the Skaneateles area of the multiple listing service.  Of these, 31 were in the Village an

Before I forget (as if I would) I have an open house this weekend at my new (sort of) listing in Skaneateles.  Please come!  Tell me you saw it here!  The house is 50 West Genesee, almost across from the new Krebs. If the photo or the location sounds familiar, it is.  I listed and sold this last year.  The owners are relocating and want the house to move with them, but alas, it can't.  So you have the opportunity to buy it!  Hooray! Four bedrooms, three full baths, a third floor that is now being used as a media room.  Incredible woodwork throughout - really, a pleasure to show.  Check it out online: ML# S280791  It's priced below where we had it last year, even - now $415,000.  See you between 1:00 and 3:00 on Sunday. There are actually only 109 listings in the Skaneateles area of the multiple listing service.  Of these, 32 are in the Village and 29 are waterfront.  Besides this beauty above, five other houses came on the market during this time frame.  Three are waterfront, r

As you can tell, it's still busy and I am still out and about way too much it seems.  I pulled together the research for this blog and just never got a chance to write it out.  It helped me get a listing - I love knowing what I am talking about and being able to throw out exact numbers.  I feel like I could take on a candidate running for Realtor in Skaneateles!  I just need to find the time to communicate what I know to my readers.  And I know they will decrease without my publishing regularly, so I will do better by writing more often.  Starting here today. During this period there were 111 active listings in the Skaneateles area of the multiple listing service.  Of these, 33 were in the Village and 27 were considered waterfront.  Eight new listings came on the market, but 5 of these were re-lists with reductions in price.  One of the new ones was a beautiful Village home priced just under one million.  A home in the town but not far outside was priced around $200,000 and a water
