Point Lookout is located at the east end of a barrier island and nestled between Reynolds Channel and the crystal blue Atlantic Ocean.

Point Lookout is known for its private beach, fishing boats, natural beauty, genteel charm and endless opportunities for recreation.

The carts can travel at a maximum of 15 miles per hour - PointLookout's speed limit - making them a popular choice for transportation. Resident drivers know to pause respectfully along the main street, tree-shaded Lido Boulevard, for a typical traffic tie-up: half a dozenchildren waiting with their bikes to cross.

On the shores of East Bay, Point Lookout offers the charm of a small New England fishing village with a range of services that include; Doxsee's Offshore Seafood, Alice's (Captain Joe's Anchor Inn), The Clam Bar, Buoy Bar, Scotties Fishing Station, The Fisherman's Catch and Ted's Fishing Station.

Entering the town and strolling down the main street Lido Boulevard one passes by such community businesses as Adde K Hair Salon, Studio 5 Yoga & Pilates, Hug Real Estate, Point Realty, The First National Bank of Long Island, The Point Lookout Library, Olive Oil's Restaurant, The Framing Edge Art Store, Skipperdee's L'il Cupcake & Ice Cream Shop, Point Lookout Liquor Store, MacDonald Plumbing, Jojo Apples Cafe, Gelos Point Pharmacy and the Point Lookout Post Office.

Merola's Supermarket is the hub of the main thoroughfare of Lido Boulevard. Merola's opened its market in May of 1930 and remains as the only business continually run in the community.

Point Lookout's private beach is the meeting place of the town. Surrounded by 2 jetties, covered with beautiful white sand and clean, crisp salt water and gorgeous waves.

Survey Indicates That Selling Your Home Mid-Week During the Winter Season May Be Easier Than You Think

In the Real Estate Section of the New York Times this week, there was an article that challenged the myth that houses on the market during the winter were like a "clearance rack" and that winter is the worst time of the year for home owners to consider selling their homes.

In a survey of over 750,000 homes sold a survey showed that winter is better time of year to sell than you think. The survey concludes that homeowner who list during the winter have less competition, so your property is more likely to receive more attention. Nationwide statistic show that Fridays are the most profitable day of the week during the cold months of winter. 

On Long Island, a recent MLS survey yielded that Wednesday's in March produced the greatest number of home sales. Further statistics indicate that properties listed at the tail end of winter tend to sell the fastest, because come March, more homes are introduced to the market in anticipation of spring.

Overall, the analysis indicates that homes listed on a Wednesday result in the fastest selling times -- with an average of 121 days on the market. Sellers are basically more optimistic early in the week. In addition homes that sell during the winter season tend to sell closer to their listing price during this period. The Holidays  also provide a spike in on-line shoppers who spend free time perusing the internet and reviewing potential homes to purchase. 

So if you are considering listing your home, but think winter is not the best time to do it, call us at William Meier Real Estate at 516-897-4888 to receive the optimum exposure for you home this winter season.
