Welcome to the September issue of North Fork Real Estate Showcase. It’s hard to believe that there are only a few weeks of summer left. We are all looking forward to the busy Fall season ahead with maritime festivals, pumpkin picking and winery hopping. Of course, it’s also a perfect time of year to go hunting for your North Fork dream home.

Speaking of house hunting…be sure to check out this issue’s North Fork MarketWatch report. With inventories at their lowest in years, we are starting to see price appreciation in many areas. In fact, more desirable properties are receiving multiple offers in many cases. Brokers we spoke with are expecting these trends to continue into the coming months and are predicting an active Fall selling season this year. Given the current historically low interest rates, there has probably never been a better time to invest in your piece of North Fork real estate.

In this month’s Broker Showcase, NFRES sits down for a chat with Marie Beninati, of Beninati Associates, located in the beautiful village of Southold.

Marie is a consummate professional, with a deep understanding of the North Fork real estate scene. Her boutique agency has their finger on the pulse of the market and offers a personal, hands-on approach to all of their clients.

If you thought the weather was hot on the North Fork this summer, how about the real estate market. It was at its “hottest” since the recession and is predicted to heat up even more this fall. With inventories at their lowest levels in many years, home prices rising slightly, interest rates ticking up, and the market stabilizing, the North Fork real estate market has been bustling with activity.

Judi Desiderio of Town & Country Real Estate believes, “The North Fork is just beginning to hit its stride and we are going to see significant appreciation in values on the North Fork moving forward!” She remarks, “Inventories are at the lowest they have been in all the years I have been here.” And currently, “There is an unprecedented volume of business at both Town & Country offices on the North Fork.” In the second quarter of 2013, “64 of the 69 home sales were under $1M with most under $500,000.”

She notes that, “Waterfront is always popular and we have seen increasing amounts of customer requests for homes abutting agricultural reserves.” Judi is “pleased to see the North Fork gaining the recognition it so deserves, for its unique rural beauty along with great dining experiences and wonderful vineyards.”

Joseph De Sane of The Corcoran Group on the North Fork says, “The real estate market this year has been very productive and is the most stabilized since the recession.” He feels, “The market is strong, if not robust right now and predicts it will remain stable.” He remarks, “Everything is selling across the boards, with properties priced in accordance with the market.”

And, “It is a good sign when inventory starts to diminish at a healthy pace with supply and demand in balance right now.”

Joseph exclaims, “There is really good activity throughout the entirety of the North Fork. Everything is in motion right now.

It is a very busy time for homeowners, buyers, and agents!”

Jill Dunbar of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty in Greenport says, “The real change over the last year is the “mood” of the market. There are dedicated buyers, with enthusiasm for the North Fork, who are determined to find a property.” She notes, “Homes under $450,000 and interesting well-priced properties are selling. New inventory is particularly hot!” Also, “Inventories are low in every price point and prices are stable. Houses with “walk to beach” access and Greenport, a walking, waterfront town are especially popular with buyers

from Brooklyn and downtown NYC.” Jill remarks, “We have sold through much of the old inventory that has been available for over a year and are seeing multiple offers on some of the most interesting properties.”

Karla Dennehy of Douglas Elliman Real Estate in Mattituck says, “The market is very active right now for both buyers and sellers. It is a stable, balanced market.” She observes, “Buyers know low interest rates won’t last forever, as they are starting to tick up. And sellers, having lived through the tough times, are savvy to the market and are pricing their homes right.” Other good signs are, “There have been multiple offers on properties, home prices are rising slightly, and the number of days properties are on the market has been shrinking.” She notes, “50% of the market was in the $300,000-$500,000 range. Also, “Homes with beach rights or that are in very good condition are selling and Greenport is very hot right now, drawing many people to the North Fork.” Karla predicts, “We’re going to have a great fall!”

Suzanne Hahn of Brown Harris Stevens in Greenport says, “Market activity has been great! Prices bottomed out last year,

activity has increased, and inventory is selling.” She observes, “Sellers are more realistic and negotiations are easier which helps move inventory. Buyers are also realizing that they have to move more quickly now.” She remarks, “Properties are selling in every price range with the million dollar market strong.” Also, “Waterfront properties and homes with beach rights are popular and Greenport is booming due to its nautical history.” Overall she exclaims, “Prices are realistic and demand has increased.”

Suzanne foresees “this trend continuing into the fall.”

Autumn is a great time to explore the North Fork. Visit some vineyards, have fun at the fall festivals, and walk around the quaint rural towns, while enjoying the beautiful pastoral vistas.

With the housing market coming back into full swing, now is the time to discover the North Fork and make it your ultimate destination.

North Fork Real Estate Showcase chats with Marie Beninati of Beninati Associates, a premier boutique agency of the North Fork.

NFRES:What is it that sets you apart from the others?

MB: Our service level – service is always first and foremost.

We always go above and beyond our clients’ and customers’ expectations. We work as a team. My husband Lee and I foster team work and reward team performance and well as individual performance. The proof is in the pudding – we have been one of the top five Realty offices on the North Fork, since going into business on our own. I also think that because it’s our own business, we are more flexible and quicker to react than larger corporate organizations. We are more responsive to our clients and the market place. It’s particularly important today. The recovery of the real estate market is happening quickly and we can be more nimble in responding to the change for both sellers and buyers.

NFRES:What is the most challenging aspect of being a real estate agent?

MB: There are many challenges – but the most significant is navigating through the unprecedented downturn over the past 4 years and managing the transition to recovery. Right now we are moving from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market. On the North Fork, we also have a shortage of inventory. As a result, we have had a number of multiple bids on homes in recent months, a source of frustration for buyers – especially when they end 32

up losing the house. I try to remind buyers, that ultimately it’s the seller who determines which offer to accept. Sometimes a seller will accept a lower bid because they feel more comfortable with a buyer’s terms. We always recommend that the process be transparent and fair to everyone - in the end the seller decides.

NFRES: Can you tell us about some of your most notable sales?

MB: The most notable was a commercial sale that took several years to effect. However, it was the largest single commercial sale and the property was a motel that was converted to a private conference facility. It was a win-win-win for the community, the buyer and the seller!

NFRES:What is the most personally satisfying part of your work?

MB: This is a people business. There are lots of ups and downs as you weave through the sales process. But when all is said and done, the satisfaction in a job well done is knowing that we made two families happy – the seller and the buyer - and we have made lasting friendships. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, we have lots of visitors coming by for coffee (espresso!) and newspapers or just to say, “Hello”. It’s wonderful! I love my work!!
