Since people are always asking me about real estate and lifestyle matters, we introduced a light and fun monthly Q&A about all sorts of topics.
It’s been reported that soaring summer rentals are non-negotiable due to lack of inventory, global conflicts affecting travel abroad and major sports events like the U.S. Open and World Cup. Is this really the case?
“Perhaps this is true for more lower-priced or specialty homes but not with all properties across the board. There are many homes that remain available for rent for various time frames of the summer season.”
My thoughts on Memorial Day being the start of pool season.
“Frankly, your pool should be swim ready now. Yes, the holiday weekend and pre-season have been fraught with cold and rain. However, a few days of 80 degrees and here we go!”
My favorite butcher shops for holiday weekend barbecues.
“Peconic Prime Meats and Catena’s Market are my go-to establishments, and Citarella and Red Horse Market do a great job providing top quality as well.”
As a longtime member of Barton & Gray Mariners Club, I share my favorite boat from its fleet as well as my first destination of season.
“Duryea’s on Monday is teed up, and hopefully the weather will cooperate. Minnow on deck!”
