JUST CLOSED: 38 Laurel Street + 171 Rockaway, Garden City 🔑🔑

Two closings, one plan, both on time.

My clients didn’t need to sell to buy. They were fully qualified to purchase 171 Rockaway on their own. But they knew that putting the proceeds from 38 Laurel toward the new home would get them a lower mortgage.

So we built a plan around that:

1️⃣ Secure the new home first. We moved quickly and went to contract on 171 Rockaway.

2️⃣ Get the current home market-ready, fast. We painted, decluttered and staged 38 Laurel in record time.

3️⃣ Launch with a clear marketing plan. Within 2 weeks of going to contract on 171 Rockaway, 38 Laurel was on the market.

4️⃣ Line up both closings. With a clear, concise plan, we closed both properties on schedule.

Buying and selling at the same time can feel overwhelming. You don’t want to lose the right home, but you also don’t want to leave your equity sitting on the table. With the right strategy and the right team, you don’t have to choose.

Thinking about making a move but not sure how to time it? Let’s map out your plan. DM me or email laura.carroll@compass.com.

Congratulations to my wonderful clients! 🏡

Thank you to @davidfallarino for making this a VERY smooth transaction

What’s your number? 🏡

Most Nassau County homeowners aren’t planning to sell. But many would, for the right price.

That’s the idea behind a “make me sell” strategy. You name the number that would make moving worth it, and I quietly bring it to qualified buyers before your home ever hits the market.

✔️ If a buyer meets your price, you sell.
✔️ If not, nothing changes. There’s no public listing, no days on market and no price cuts.

Why now? There are only about 2,300 single-family homes for sale in all of Nassau, and new listings are down 10.4% from last year. Buyers are actively looking for homes before they’re listed.

It’s not the right fit for everyone, so I’ve included the honest pros and cons. Swipe through 👉

Curious what your number is? Comment NUMBER or send me a DM for a private, no-obligation valuation.

Is the Long Island market cooling off? 🍂 Not quite. Here’s what the latest numbers show 👇

🏡 Prices are still rising. The median single-family price hit $860K in Nassau (+2.1%) and $740K in Suffolk (+2.8%) in September.

⏱️ Good homes still move fast. Homes are averaging about 40 days on market, and sellers are getting close to 100% of asking.

📉 Inventory is tight. New listings in Nassau are down 10.4% from last year.

💰 Rates are higher. The 30-year fixed is at 7.32%, up from about 6.19% a year ago. That hasn’t lowered prices. It’s kept a lot of homeowners from selling.

Buyers: get fully pre-approved, budget by monthly payment, and ask about rate buydowns and first-time buyer programs.

Sellers: less competition works in your favor, but pricing it right is everything.

Every town moves differently. Comment “MARKET” or DM me, and I’ll send you the numbers for your neighborhood. 📩

Welcome home! 🏡🔑

In a market with so few homes for sale, finding the right one can feel impossible. That’s why I’m so thrilled for these two. They found this beautiful home before it ever hit the market, and it’s everything they were hoping for.

Watching them stand in front of their new home was the best part of my week. Thank you both for trusting me to guide you through every step of the buying process. It was an honor to be part of this chapter of your lives.

And a huge thank you to the amazing team of professionals who made this deal come together: the attorneys, lender, inspector and everyone behind the scenes. It truly takes a village! 🙌

Thinking about buying in a tight market? Many of the best homes trade before they’re ever listed. Let’s talk about getting you access. 📩 DM me or call 917-370-5354.

How much are property taxes in Garden City? 🏡

The median bill in the Garden City School District is about $23,390 a year before exemptions, and Village taxes come on top of that.

Here’s where the money goes:
📚 Schools: 70%
🏛️ Nassau County: 19%
🏘️ Town of Hempstead: 11%

The good news: you may be able to lower yours. STAR exemptions and a Nassau County tax grievance can make a real difference, and filing a grievance is free.

I broke it all down on the blog, including how Garden City compares with nearby districts and the steps to grieve your assessment. 👉 Link in bio

SOLD! 🔑🏡
81 Chatham Pl, Cathedral Gardens, West Hempstead, NY

This buyer was the backup offer. They stayed patient, and when the door opened, they were ready. A first-time buyer who saved every step of the way and became a homeowner.

Honored to represent you. Congratulations! 🎉

Great teamwork on this one @movewithlauracarroll 🙌
