Posted on 26. Jun, 2008 by Joshua Ferris in Home Buying Guide, Home Selling Guide, Landlord Guide, Orange County, Real Estate Reports, Renter Guide

Contemporary RentalMonroe is a suburban community of Orange County New York, about 46 miles outside of New York City. With excellent commuter transit options, simple highway access to Westchester County and Northern New Jersey and world famous shopping, Monroe offers an ideal blend of convenience and comfort. The Capitol Region is about 2 hours away by car while Westchester is around 45 minutes and New York City is about an hour drive, depending on traffic.

The Monroe New York rental market has been heating up over the past few months as prospective home buyers look to renting in the area as a way to experience living in the suburbs without the long term commitment of home ownership. There are a variety of rentals to choose from too including month to month, 6 month, 12+ month and lease with option to purchase rentals.

Something to also consider when renting in the Monroe area is the style of home you would like to rent. Monroe is very diverse in its offering with lakefront rentals, townhouses and single family homes to name a few. You might even be surprised to know that the monthly rent for a lakefront home is similar to what you would pay to rent a single family home or townhouse in a gated community.

Buy a Home

Posted on 26. Jun, 2008 by Joshua Ferris in Rockland County

Buying a home should be a refreshing, enjoyable experience that changes your life for the better. Whether it’s your first or fifth, here are three common steps you should take as you prepare to purchase a home.

1) Narrow Down Your Search Area – Examine your search area and locate towns, villages and cities that compliment your lifestyle. Cover all the bases — Food shopping, gyms, child care, transit to work, recreation etc. Once you have decided on an area you would like to live in, proceed to step two.

2) Contact a Lender for a Pre-Approval – You’ll want to get pre-approved prior to looking for homes so that your agent can provide you with an accurate idea of what homes are available to you in the neighborhood of your choice. This step is crucial and you’re only setting yourself up for heartache in the future if you look first and get financing later.

3) Find an Agent that Meets YOUR Needs – Step three is also the most important step because everyone is different and REALTORs are not created equally. When looking for an agent, consider the type of home and neighborhood you would like to be in. Also consider the methods of contact you prefer. For example, if you’re looking for a townhouse in Meadow Glen at Monroe and you prefer to work with your agent by email rather than phone, you’ll want an agent who has represented many buyers in the community and is net savvy.
