If you are thinking about putting your Long Island home on the market in the next few weeks, please make some time to change out your annuals or perennials that are fading in the cooler fall months.
Pansies and mums are the best bet for fall color. Trim back, clean up flower beds and put some mulch down for a fresh look.
Photographs of homes listed during the cool months have a tendency to look a little blah. Adding colorful flowers, trimming away low tree branches (the storm may have given you a head start on that task) and making sure that your yard is clear of leaves will make the photos look more appealing.
Buyers are looking on the internet for homes. If your exterior photo isn’t appealing, you are a click away from being passed up – no matter how hard you worked on staging the interior.

Market Commentary
September 11, 2008
Mortgage interest rates remain relatively flat following a government report showing that new jobless claims remained consistent with economist’s expectations. The rapid decline of mortgages interest rates, as evidenced early in the week, has also lost steam as stocks recover from below the lowest close since 2005, easing demand for the safety of government debt. Key reports on inflation, set to be released on Friday, will provide guidance to investors and will set the stage for the direction of mortgage interest rates going into the weekend.Click on the link below to take you to the market news of the day!

Market Movers
Key Economic Reports to be released this week which may influence the direction of mortgage interest rates. Generally, stronger than expected numbers that are indicative of a healthy economy or that indicate inflationary pressure (i.e. decreased unemployment, higher consumer confidence, higher Core Prices, etc…) tend to drive interest rates higher.
Considering locking in a rate?
Want to be certain that you secure a good rate now, but ensure that you have the flexibility of obtaining a lower rate if the market drops further? Unlike most banks that just float your rate with the market, we offer our customers the ability to cap the market so if rates unexpectedly turn higher you don’t need to worry because we have you covered. If rates drop further, we have you covered too with our exclusive Rate Protection Plan. All with no additional cost to you when compared to standard rate lock programs. So why risk floating with a volatile market when you can cap the market now and secure a better rate later?
