The practice of "staging" homes that are on the market for sale has become more popular in the last several years -- staging is preparing a home for viewing by potential buyers.

Unrepresented sellers, affectionately known as FSBOs (For Sale By Owners), give many reasons for not choosing to list their homes with a real estate professional. They may have had a bad experience with an agent, or they may just want to save on the commission. Many show up on Craigslist with notations that no brokers should ever call them; in other words, they exclude the one group of people

Currently, there are 161 homes for sale and 45 under contract in Port Washington, NY. In October, 11 homes sold. If the same number of homes sold each month, without any new homes coming on the market, it would take 18 months to deplete the inventory. This is called the absorption rate. A healthy absorption rate is considered to be about 3-6 months. The absorption rate in Port Washington has been
