Tarrytown NY Single Family Homes Inventory Still Very Tight

Despite tight inventory levels in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow sales were up a bit in January with six closings total.  This is the highest single family homes sales have been since 9 in June 2014.  The sales/list price ratio decreased to 100.8% from 103.7.  This tells us homes are still selling for the asking price or more.

The median price in January was $613,750, up from $545,750 this time last year.  Inventory levels of 17 are up but down one from 18 in January 2014, not much change there.  New listings are still scarce with a total of 4 homes in January.  This should definitely improve over the next two months.  We have seen homes going to multiple bids in the first week on the market so far this season.

The average days on market of 161 in January was down a little from 168 in December but up moderately from 133 in January 2014.

Are You Using Social Media To It's Full Potential?

Social media has become one of the most important avenues for marketing online, yet many don't even know where to begin. They think all they have to do is create a profile, start following everybody under the sun, and the business will come. There is an etiquette that goes along with social media but most important, a strategy. Are you one of those people that "like" everything, or campaign for "likes" but have nothing of substance on your page to keep the public interested?

I firmly believe that substance is more important then a large following. I would rather have more quality then quantity. If you lack it the following won't engage or revisit your page. Challenge yourself to write a quality article rather then always re-posting others. Show your human side and let people know what you are like outside of business. Lastly, engage others rather then just collect them. Let's have meaningful conversations and interactions, we will all benefit in the end. Spend some time getting to know all of the available sites and choose which ones work well for your lifestyle and/or business. 

I think many people get overwhelmed because there are so many to choose from. They don't know where to begin so they avoid it altogether.

If used properly, social media can boost your business and reinforce why the public should hire you or retain your services. Remember, what you post is outthere forever, attached to your name, and a representation of who you are.

Do you want people to remember you for quality and substance or how many connections you have?
