Skaneateles Real Estate - The BRRRRR Update



I thought this might grab your attention more than a house with icicles hanging off it, and all the houses have icicles hanging off them.  Yes, one of my dear clients actually had the nerve to send me this photo of another place, and another lifestyle.  Really - no shame, no compassion for our plight here!  Ah - but he/she will return here some day...and by choice!  

There are currently 76 active listings in the Skaneateles area of the multiple listing service.  Of these, 16 are in the Village and 11 are considered waterfront.  In the past 3 weeks since the last update 11 listings have come on the market, but only five are new listings.  

Waiting to close or under contract are 25 single family homes.  Six were added since the end of January, with five of them being in the Village.  Yes, there are buyers out there, braving the high banks of snow to see homes.  The Village also shows off their little snowplow that does the sidewalk shoveling for you, courtesy of the Village taxes.

We now have six houses that have sold and closed so far this year.  Two are new closings, one a waterfront home and the other a town listing.  

This week is February break for the schools.  With the temperature at -11 this morning and windchills in the -20s, I doubt there would have been school anyway.  

Stay warm!  And get out and enjoy the snow - when it's safe again to do so!
