OPEN HOUSE: 3/7, 2:30-4:30: STOP RENTING! GET OUT OF MOM'S BASEMENT! Invest in your Future...BUY NOW!

It's true that real estate has been a roller coaster ride for the last couple of years but it's also true that there is no greater investment in your quality of life and in your future than purchasing in real estate. For about as much as you would pay in rent for an apartment this size, in ths location and with these amenities, you can own a fabulous one bedroom, second floor apartment in Fisherman's Wharf in West Babylon. 172 Millard Avenue really does have it all. Here is some of what it has to offer:

• BIG second floor, 1 bedroom coop


• Newly finished, real wood floors


• Sliders to a fully covered, cedar balcony


• Three laundry rooms


• Stay fit on 2 tennis courts and in exercise room


• Private, inground pool


• Keep your pet, too! Unlike many cooperative developments, pets (including dogs -- no weight restrictions) are permitted here. So your 'best friend" can jpin you in your dream of homeownership


• Footsteps away from Babylon Village


• Near express train from Babylon station to the City


• Lots of local shops, restaurants and movie theaters


• Large airy space: roomy for one, plenty of space for two


• Safe development; stroll around the lake in the evening


• Unbelievable value with an asking price of $182,700

As if all this wasn't enough to convince you, there is still enough time to take advantage of the govenrment's tax incentives for home buyers -- $8,000 for first timers and $6,500 for current homeowners -- who meet certain qualifications. But you have to hurry; you need to be in contract by April 30th and closed by June 30th.

Great Price. Low interest rates. Tax incentives. That's a winning combination. All it needs is you. What are you waiting for? Come to the open house at 172 Millard Avenue in West Babylon on Sunday, March 7th from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and see it for yourself.

If you can't make it then, contact me and I'll get you in there; 917-612-3592 or jcangemi@netterrealestate.com.

OPEN HOUSE: 3/6 12 to 2 - Want to Own a HUGE Piece of East Islip?

Meet me at 12 Wall Street in East Islip on Saturday, March 6th from 12 noon until 2 p.m.

This colonial sits on a 100 by 174 lot. Wow! That's 17,424 square feet!

Just think of what you can do with that much land in beautiful East Islip. It's conveniently located near Carleton Avenue between East Main Street and Sunrise Highway (a stone's throw from the fabulous Irish Coffee Pub). That means that it is convenient to shopping and easy to get around to anywhere you need to be. Not to mention it's in the heart of the East Islip School District.

The house has two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms and an absolutely ENORMOUS kitchen with new stainless appliances. Family and friends will be living in your living room. Plenty of room for your big screen TV for movie night. Pass the popcorn, please.

There's a full, partially finished basement with an outside entrance. Use it as a playroom for the kids or a lounge for the adults. Speaking of playing and lounging...Fire up your barbeque and dine al fresco on this fantastic deck and enjoy the great outdoors in your king-sized yard.

How do you define "value?" it's getting a lot for your money. This home is asking just $289,000 (with super-low taxes $6,313.84 with STAR). That's only about $16.58 per square foot. Talk about getting bang for your buck!

A steal of an asking price AND interest rates are still at an all-time low PLUS there is still time to take advantage of the government's home buyer tax credits ($8,000 for first timers and $6,500 for current homeowners). What are you waiting for?

Heard enough? Come see it for yourself, Saturday, March 6th from 12 Noon to 2 p.m. But if that doesn't work for you, contact me at 917-612-3592 or jcangemi@netterrealestate.com at let me know what day and time does work for you and I'll get you in there.

P.S. Please feel free to give this information to anyone you think this home would be perfect for.
