Fire Island - The ultimate Summer Destination!
New York Real Estate: Fire Island
What’s happening in the real estate market for Fire Island homes is
very different than what is happening in many parts of the country.
Home values and vacation rentals are holding up quite well. This is
because there is a tremendous demand for a limited quantity of
vacation homes and rentals. This is the place where people want to
be.
Prime real estate will always be prime real estate, for which there
will normally be a strong demand.
The only noticeable difference from prior years is willingness on
the part of the seller or renter to be a little more accommodating
on closing dates and or season rental dates.
What’s happening is that people who have been coming to Fire Island
for years are telling their friends about this one of a kind
community, and when they visit, they fall in love with the beauty
and charm that is Fire Island.
Living in a car free, carefree community only steps away from beach
or village dining and entertainment is a throwback to a more casual
and fun filled era. People can really relax on Fire Island and avoid
the stress of New York City.
One of the best features is that it is about an hour from NYC and a
25 minute ferryboat ride across the bay from Long Island, New
York. This is all part of what keeps Fire Island special and unique.
The type of people that gravitate to this wonderful Island are
usually family orientated, fun loving people who are looking to be
able to enjoy their summer vacations in a relaxed and fun filled
manner. Sitting on a crowded highway to the Hamptons for three and
one half hours is not part of the ritual they are looking for on
summer weekends. They just want to relax.
This the time of year when people start hunting for their summer
vacation homes. March and April are prime months to find vacation
rentals, but hunting for a house to purchase can be done at any time
of the year.
There are a number of small communities such as Ocean Beach that can
suit almost all individual tastes. It is a matter of deciding what
you are looking for, and having someone with the necessary expertise
and knowledge show you what is available.

News
As a new summer season is around the
corner, we are grateful for the mild winter that has allowed people to come
out in droves to select their own Fire Island Home. It has been a record year
for rentals while sales have slowed slightly fueled by economic conditions
that have been better. This does, however, present a once in a lifetime
opportunity for buyers who are finding lower prices and low interest rates at
the same time. Feel free to purchase any time but keep the following in mind
when renting on Fire Island.
Seasonal rentals
are sought after by most in January and February while monthly rentals
generally take place in March and April. Weekly and Biweekly rentals have the
best selection from May to August. Stay ahead of the curve to assure yourself
the best selection. Our web site is updated on a daily basis so you can count
on the most current information available. We welcome you to our island
paradise and hope you have the same great time that those before you have had.
Our agents live on Fire Island and have vehicles available in the Fall,
Winter, and Spring to pick you up at Field 5 or at the train station and drive
you across the beach if ferry service is not convenient. Our professional and
courteous staff is ready to help you with your summer plans. Please visit us
and allow us the opportunity to make your real estate experience on Fire
Island a pleasant one.
