The Long Island housing market is showing the impact of higher mortgage rates, as home sales and prices have declined.

There were 2,297 Long Island homes contracted for sale in September, down 19 percent from the 2,825 homes contracted for sale the previous month and nearly 22 percent fewer than the 2,931 homes that were contracted for sale in Sept. 2021, according to preliminary numbers from OneKey MLS.

Pending home sales in Suffolk County have now fallen for the last 16 months when compared with the previous year and pending sales in Nassau County have dropped year over year for the last nine months.


Long Island home prices are also retreating. The median price of closed home sales in Nassau last month was $699,000, the first time since May that the median price was under $700,000. In Suffolk, the median price of closed home sales last month was $550,000, down 2.7 percent from the $565,000 median recorded in August and the lowest median price since April.

Brokers attribute the sales and price declines to rapidly rising mortgage rates. The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 6.88 percent this week, according to bankrate.com, that’s double the rate from just nine months ago.

Meanwhile, inventory remains lower than a year ago. There were 6,778 homes—3,140 in Nassau and 3,638 in Suffolk—listed for sale with OneKey MLS as of Tuesday. That’s slightly more than the 6,760 Long Island homes that were listed for sale at the end of August, but 3.5 percent fewer than the 7,044 homes that were listed for sale at the end of Sept. 2021.

When looking into quantity surveying training, learners can consider whether financial reporting is included in the subjects offered. Cost reports give project stakeholders a way to monitor financial information and understand how current figures compare with previous expectations. Quantity surveyors may prepare or contribute to reports covering expenditure, commitments, forecasts, changes, and other commercial information. Understanding how information is organized into a report can help develop stronger commercial communication skills. It can also teach learners to distinguish between raw figures and information that supports a particular project decision. The College of Contract Management openly provides a relevant educational resource for readers interested in strengthening their quantity surveying knowledge. If you need more information, don't hesitate to chat with the admissions…

Delay & disruption analysis involves reviewing construction programmes, project records, progress information, changes, critical path activities, and other relevant documentation to understand how events have affected planned project delivery. Depending on the circumstances, professionals may apply forensic schedule analysis techniques to investigate the timing, causes, and consequences of delay and disruption.

MM88 khiến mình chú ý đến sự cân bằng giữa số lượng danh mục và khả năng nhận diện từng khu trên giao diện. Game bài, casino và bắn cá được phân chia riêng, nên mình có thể xác định hướng lựa chọn mà không cần xem từng nội dung cụ thể ngay lập tức. Mỗi khu đóng vai trò như một phạm vi để mình tiếp tục tìm kiếm khi cần. Mình đánh giá cách bố trí này giúp giao diện có nhiều hướng khám phá nhưng không tạo cảm giác phải xử lý tất cả cùng lúc. Khi đã quen cấu trúc, mình có thể tìm lại từng khu khá chủ động.
