Sagtikos Manor: A Central Site for Paranormal Activity?

’m finding that buyers are approaching the market with more patience and focus this October. While my team is currently working with a surge of buyers, many of them are taking their time to find the right home rather than rushing into an offer. The busiest time for families with children usually occurs at the beginning of the school year, when parents want to get their kids registered and settled. Now, with that behind us and interest rates showing signs of easing, we’re seeing more buyers enter the market – but they remain thoughtful and deliberate in their decisions. On the sellers' side, inventory has been increasing, and that naturally brings some adjustments in expectations. A well-priced property still sells quickly, often with multiple offers, but instead of the 10+ offers we might have seen during peak times, we’re seeing a more manageable handful. Sellers who price their homes competitively continue to achieve strong results, while others are making price adjustments to stay aligned with current conditions.

  • The Lunar New Year (also called Chinese New Year) is upon us and generally falls between January 21 and February 20. This year, it falls on February 17. It is celebrated throughout China, Taiwan, North and South Korea, Singapore, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The holiday honors ancestors and deities, encourages letting go of negative energy, and emphasizes connecting with family and friends. It is a prominent celebration in vibrant Chinatowns and Asian communities across the country, featuring parades and other festive activities. This year marks the Year of the Horse, symbolizing hard work, bravery, and resilience—values universal to all. Food plays a significant role in Lunar New Year celebrations, with various culinary traditions across regions each assigning specific meanings to different dishes. Long Island offers many restaurants to enjoy these celebrations and discover new favorites. Culinary Delights for the Lunar New Year 2026: Year of the Horse

The South Shore of Long Island boasts several top-quality health food markets and grocery stores that can make this easier. From fully prepared meals to the ingredients needed to make them, it’s a perfect time to visit some of our local stores and get inspired for the new year. Resolving to Eat Healthy in 2026
