For Sale: A Homestead, a B&B, and an Island Dream
For better or worse, the real estate market is showing no signs of loosening up. With available inventory at an all-time low, buyers face an ultra-competitive landscape. Stan Mickus, of Century 21 Fine Homes & Estates Seaboard Properties said, “We are seeing properties go under contract within days. One of our most recent buyers had their offer accepted after competing with over two dozen other offers! Even with interest rates where they are,” he adds, “there are still a plethora of buyers looking. Nothing stays on the market for very long.” With that in mind, you may want to act fast if you’re interested in one of our featured properties, listed by firms based in the Borough that are members of the SBMA.
