Wooded Gate in Holbrook
Ok, after talking with my DH and our parents last night, this sounds like the best solution to our problems. We could get a
3 bedroom
5 minutes to LIRR
commute doesn't really changes
low maintance
Sachem Schools
townhouse style living
great town
I do have a question, I know you ladies won't know 100%, but we all know prices are going down. What do you think the chances are of a townhouse going down in price in 5 months? And if so, do you think its realistic to say they will drop at least 10K? Thanks Kerry

Re: Wooded Gate in Holbrook
I can't answer your Q's about prices, I just wanted to say that I don't think it's only 5 mnutes to the Ronk LIRR station  unless there is a short cut I am not aware of.

Re: Wooded Gate in Holbrook
I looked on MLS - there are 2 units there that are 3 beds, both priced at $309.
I think today, if the seller is reasonable, would accept $299
the winter is usually slower, so if these units are still on the market in january (3 months from now) and prices havent gone up (which I don tthink they will), I think the seller would have to lower to $299, then you could pay $289 in Jan/Feb.
but of course thats just my scenario!

Sweetpea, I asked yesterday and everyone said it was 5 minutes to the LIRR and my train buddies on my LIRR that live in Holbrook said it around 5-10minutes. Don't forget, the Ronkonkoma train station is a lot more south than the CI one.

I do a lot of classified advertising for Real Estate companies so I've been seeing these prices dropping and dropping.... I think it's totally possible for it drop 10K in 5 months.... But within those 5 months they'll probably drop it and raise it again and then drop it again.... it'll go back and forth... I've seen this done so much lately...
good luck!
Do you mind me asking, what real estate agency are you using or which one is this condo being sold thru?

I actuallly do mind, I apologize, but I don't believe in soliciting business via a message board.
SweetPea: Mapquest says its 9 minutes at 3.94 miles away from each other. And Mapquest takes you the long way and probably driving a lot slower than me....

Re: Wooded Gate in Holbrook
I grew up in New England Village across the street and its a great area. The LIRR is about 5, maybe 10 minutes away tops.

I was just thinking that you would have to drive all the way up Patch-Holb rd to the LIE and take it 1 exit to Ronk Ave to the LIRR, but I am sure there is a short cut

That's OK... I completely understand and agree... I just was curious to see if it was a client of mine. Good luck to you!

That is great to hear! We really do like. We are going to check it out more this weekend.
P.S. Couldn't have done it without all you girls!

Actually- Patch/ Holbrook Rd takes you to Union, which takes you straight to the RR parking lot at Hawkins!
I was going to suggest Holbrook for you! Great town.

Re: Wooded Gate in Holbrook
there is a shorter way to the station. If you make a right at the king Kullen take that down at the train station is right there. (Sorry I don't know names of the roads)

Re: Wooded Gate in Holbrook
If the asking is 309 right now I am sure you could get it for under 300 right now. i would go in and bid 379 and they would probably meet you half way.

Re: Wooded Gate in Holbrook
we can't bid right now because we put on wedding money in a 12 month CD that will mature in March therefore we are not looking to buy until March, but being this is a major purchase we want to rule out any areas that will not be in our price range or are undesirable. Thanks though

Re: Wooded Gate in Holbrook
I just wanted to say good luck! My parents bought a unit there new in 1974 (204 L)... I just found their closing papers the other day! I lived there until 1984 and have a lot of great memories there. I am sure you will love it...

Re: Wooded Gate in Holbrook
I like that neighborhood, I looked into renting one a long time ago. My Dad & his second wife bought one when they were built, but never lived in it because they bought a house by my grandmother's instead. So they sold it.
Congrats on finding something though! That area is really convenient to a lot of roads.

I was wondering who paid for that sign. I love the way it and the whole median looks. Nice job!
