MARKETWATCH

NORTH FORK MARKET STILL GOING STRONG Presented by Tom McCloskey of Douglas Elliman Real Estate

AS THE YEAR ENDS, PRICES REMAIN FIRM ALONG WITH LOW INVENTORIES BY ALICE PHILLIPS

s this crazy year winds down with lifting pandemic restrictions and the coronavirus (hopefully) in retreat, the real estate market on the North Fork remains strong — even though other markets across New York State and the nation are showing signs of “softening.” According to the most recent housing report released in September by the New York State Association of REALTORS®, the demand for homes continued to exceed supply and the number of houses sold increased for 12 consecutive months in year-over-year comparisons, despite continued low inventory. Additionally, data company Redfin recently reported that more than 50% of residential real estate transactions for 2021 were cash sales — meaning there was no home loan associated with those sales or the

mortgage contingency was waived. That’s the highest percentage of cash transactions since 2009. Mortgages are also at historically record lows, with interest rates for 30-year fixed rate loans below 3%. As we head into the new year, Zillow projects a positive home-price outlook extending through the summer of 2022, predicting that home values in the U.S. will rise by 11.7% between now and early fall of 2022 — as opposed to the 20% increase the data company projects by year end 2021. In their latest “Economic and Housing Outlook” published in September, researchers from Fannie Mae pointed to a “softening” of sales from the fourth quarter of 2021 leading into 2022, stating that “...other indicators, such as purchase mortgage

applications and pending home sales, which lead closings by 30-45 days on average, point to near-term softening... We believe home purchase demand is cooling somewhat as the housing market normalizes.” Furthermore, this Fannie Mae report adds that lack of inventory is a major roadblock to housing sales. So, what can we expect on the North Fork as 2021 wraps up and we move into 2022? “Softening” is not a term that Tom McCloskey, licensed associate real estate broker at Douglas Elliman in Cutchogue, thinks is applicable to this market. “Prices are still firm,” states Tom, “and we anticipate that for another 6 months at least. There are fewer transactions, which is a function of no inventory. Buyers are not able to

product. And there’s a lack of product,” Sheri goes on to discuss that there’s very little inventory under $2 million. “We were doing well before, but Covid took it to another level.”

find what they want and don’t want to compete in a bidding war so they are stepping away from the market. It’s not a true ‘softening’, which is reflective of red flags in the economy, which we are just not seeing right now.” Tom pointed to the latest Elliman Report for September 2021, which shows double digit declines compared to September 2020 across all price points: -25% for new contracts and -61.5% for new listings. The report’s takeaway about the North Fork market: “Comparisons against last summer’s post-lockdown new signed contract book have distorted trends combined with the inability of new inventory to keep up have restrained sales. As a result, newly signed contracts...have declined year over year for the past four months.” Diane Mollica, real estate associate with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s in Mattituck concurs, explaining that while the North Fork real estate market has slowed down, demand continues — for the right property. “Right now, the market is more reserved,” comments Ms. Mollica, “but it’s holding its own. There are discussions in Washington about interest rate and tax increases; once we have a clearer picture about this, I expect the market to pick up

a little bit. In the meantime, even though it’s slower than summer, as soon as good property comes along it gets picked up immediately.” Sheri Winter Parker, licensed associate broker with Corcoran in Cutchogue, does not see any market softening. “There’s a need and there’s a demand — a demand that needs to be met. The market is not softening at all. Right now, the demand is a function of price and availability of

From Sheri’s perspective, the lack of inventory is driving the sharp pricing increase over the past year — and she’s not seeing that buyers are being put off by that pricing for very long. “The lack of inventory has caused pricing wars, with many properties seeing multiple offers over asking price. But in the end, the price has to make sense,” explains Sheri. “Buyers do walk away, I have seen that more than once. But when those buyers realize that there’s nothing else to buy, they come back.” So what’s the takeaway? Sheri Winter Parker is pretty clear about it. “The market just has not stopped. I see the year finishing really strong.”

PHOTOGRAPHER MIKE MCLAUGHLIN CAPTURES NORTH FORK VISTAS

ometimes, second acts in life are the most exciting. For photographer Mike McLaughlin, a successful, fast-paced career in business analytics for cable giants Showtime and HBO morphed into a slow and penetrating look at nature and the world around him, captured in iconic images. The North Fork which started as a weekend retreat in 2003 became a more full-time residence for McLaughlin and his husband in North Jamesport. “I’ve always enjoyed photography and been drawn to photographs as an art form but it wasn’t until we moved here that I became more serious about it,” recounts McLaughlin, “I fell completely in love with the beauty of the North Fork, the farms, the vineyards, the barns, the potato trucks and the rhythms of the farming and the agricultural scene. I felt the need to capture it.” With an upgrade in equipment and study at the International Center of Photography, he honed his craft. The artistic result is a timeless portrait reflecting the dignity and tradition of the land and those who work it. While some shoots are planned, McLaughlin also embraces spontaneity, driving around with his camera, ready when the perfect light conditions illuminate a favorite vista. And often the shot will come with a story. He recounts one of his favorites, “I came across a tractor cutting down

BY HEATHER BUCHANAN a field of mustard. As I was taking the picture the farmer came by and he explained to me the whole philosophy behind planting mustard. When it’s in bloom you plow it and it actually cleanses the soil so that the next crop isn’t contaminated by the last crop. You learn a lot by being alert to nature.” Where McLaughlin’s past and present career intersect is in his analytical and quantitative approach. He comments, “It’s about minimalism, order and simplicity, nothing extraneous. I took that sensibility and mindset and applied it to both my composition and my post processing. I am able to take these raw images that I capture in the field and process them with digital darkroom techniques to enhance them ever so slightly so what comes forward is the feeling I had when I was in that field or on that beach taking the photo.” Another way McLaughlin is preserving iconic local images is in his series East End Extractions. He captures classic shops, theaters, diners or churches which embody years of history, almost suspending them in the ether. “Audiences often respond ‘Gee I hope that’s still here in five years,’” he comments, “People have a positive association with a lot of these establishments and it reflects their own history.”

Since the pandemic he has seen an uptick in interest in local art and sales with more people buying homes out East or spending time at their existing ones. “There is definitely a demand for art. With the influx of new people in the area wanting to decorate their homes, the gallery scene really bounced back after the lockdown.” Showing his work at the William Ris Gallery and Alex Ferrone Gallery on the North Fork and MM Fine Art on the South Fork has been his main avenue to connect with his buyers along with his website. His prints are in limited editions of ten but also by size with an attention to presentation in high quality materials. Local galleries have been not only a professional connection but a social one to other artists which form the basis of his community. It was places such as East End Arts where his work won awards which helped launch his career. To be in an environment of like minds is a real gift. “We are fortunate to be surrounded by water so we do enjoy the beach and some good restaurants,” comments McLaughlin, “But our favorite thing to do with friends is visit each other in their homes.” And perhaps all discuss the incredible experience of second acts while enjoying the local farm bounty.

ECO-FRIENDLY MOUNT Oak leaves decorate the antler of this stylish and elegant trophy by Miho (Un)expected Things. It’s also environmentally friendly, made using eco materials and non-toxic coloring. www.touchgoods.com

HOMESTYLE SAUCE For foodies, Mamma Lombardi’s sauce is a must. Its history originated in a small trattoria in Avellino, Italy, where Mamma Lombardi first created her famous sauce for the local townspeople. www.lombardislovelanemarket.com
