Last month, we reported that the Bayside real estate market had picked up some in August. Unfortunately, that momentum was not as strong in September. During the month, 8 properties went under contract. This compares to 9 sales during the same month last year. 

Through the first 3 quarters of the year, the market has been firm for sellers of all property types and locations in Bayside. While it is a few days longer for properties to sell, total sales are up for all property types. If you are exploring your options, we always welcome a conversation.
