Bedford NY Real Estate | Robert Paul Talks Life in Bedford NY

The rowdy protest last week against the hiring of New Berlin, Wis., Superintendent Paul Kreutzer as the next superintendent of the Katonah-Lewisboro schools, which brought out hundreds of teachers from around Westchester and Putnam, gave teachers an outlet for their frustration at being blamed for financial problems faced by districts and taxpayers. But it was also an attempt to send the message that New York teachers would not accept the changes to union rights seen in other parts of the country and reflected a fear that those policies could gain a foothold here. Kreutzer became a flashpoint in Westchester because he stood next to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and endorsed his bill stripping most public employees of collective bargaining rights. Despite that, Kreutzer was hired in a unanimous vote of the Katonah-Lewisboro school board. The protest was a statement that "we're not going to tolerate that in New York," said Richard Iannuzzi, the president of the New ...

  The recovery of housing prices will take at least four more years, according to a monthly survey of 110 leading economists and real estate experts, significantly longer than previously estimated. Housing prices will rise only 7.2 percent by 2014 and the aggregate value of U.S. single-family homes four years from now will be roughly $1 trillion less than the economists projected in May, said Terry Loeb of MacroMarkets, the firm conducting the survey, which is based upon the projected path of the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index over the coming five years.  ”For the first time, in this month’s survey, our panelists provided their expectations through 2015. Less than 3% of the panel expects negative change in 2015, and at +3.7 percent, the average of the forecasts for that year is slightly higher than the average annual rate of national home price appreciation that prevailed in the decade prior to the historic bubble.  Yet, at +7.2%,...

Picking house paint colors isn't just difficult. It's terrifying! Pick colors that are blah, and your house will seem flat and featureless. But if the colors you pick are too bold, they might overwhelm the architecture... and upset the neighbors. The best colors will highlight the most beautiful features of your home. Skillful use of color can even disguise design flaws, boosting the curb appeal and market value of your home. How do you find that magic color combination? Follow these tips. 1. Honor History If you're planning to paint an older home, you'll probably want to use a historically accurate color scheme. You can hire a pro to analyze old paint chips and recreate the original color. Or, you can refer to historic color charts and select shades that might have been used at the time your home was built.   2. Jazz Up the Past In some neighborhoods, homeowners fly in the face of history. Instead of choosing historically accurate colors, they paint their hous...

  Whether buying or selling a home, you  need a real estate agent to help with the transaction. A real estate agent has access to information not available publicly that can help in pricing the home or determining if the asking price is fair. Additionally, an agent will help in dealing with potential buyers, marketing the home and handling the details of the sale or purchase.  Proprietary Knowledge   In most communities, homes for sale appear in a locally-produced publication called the Multiple Listing Service . While much of the information on homes in the MLS can be found on the Internet, not all of it can. You need a real estate agent to help with the purchase or sale of your home because an agent will have access to all of the MLS information. This proprietary information includes the actual sales price of each home sold, not just the listing price. Additionally, the MLS information will include the number of days a home was on the market prior to c...

You plan to build your dream home. You've pored through home plan books, picked out the perfect design, found a beautiful lot in a great neighborhood and worked out a deal with a well-regarded builder. After years of rental apartments and settling for less, you've earned this home. You've promised yourself some of the amenities you've always wanted and, not surprisingly, a few well-placed fireplaces top that list. Your new home will include a fireplace in the family room so that, after a day of sledding, the kids can warm chilled fingers and toes and hang soggy mittens and mufflers up to dry. A second fireplace in the living room adds an elegant touch to formal gatherings, and in the master suite, yet another fireplace serves as a romantic backdrop. Perhaps even more important than adding some old-time charm and comfort to your new home, a fireplace also answers that nagging question, "Where will we hang the Christmas stockings?" Before you settle d...

Third Quarter Metro Area Home Prices Hold During Post-Credit Sales Decline Washington, DC, November 11, 2010 Fully half of metropolitan areas tracked in the third quarter continued to show modest home price increases from a year ago, despite a sharp decline in home sales after the deadline for the home buyer tax credit, according to the latest survey by the National Association of REALTORS®.
