Skaneateles Real Estate Update - Getting Colder

Not that our market is getting colder - just harder to get out and about.  The Buffalo area is under almost 6 feet of snow, as I write this, and we (so far) have very little.  But the cold is bone-chilling!

Currently there are 94 active listings in the Skaneateles area of the multiple listing service.  Of these, 23 are in the Village and 17 (brrrr...) are waterfront.  In the time period between the last update on October 23rd and now, there are have been 7 new listings.

Waiting to close with contracts written on them are 29 listings.  Of these, 8 are in the Village and 9 are waterfront - which makes sense - end of season, sold in the early fall....  Five are new contracts since the end of October.

Year-to-date there are 87 sold and closed properties!  Hooray!  Not phenomenal, but certainly we are closing in on the top years.  Eight are new, and they range in list price between $160,000 and $400,000. Two are Village and two are considered waterfront.

At this point it's a race to the finish.  An offer written today would most likely close after the new year.  But if all 29 properties that have contracts on them close - wow - almost a record breaking year!

So be the first to close in the new year - start us off right!
