My husband just told me that on some website you can find out how much people on a particular street paid for their houses. He found out that the couple that lives 2 houses away from us paid $100,000 LESS for their house 3 years ago than we paid for ours in June! We basically have the same house too!!(Both capes).
Here are the sites
www.domania.com
and aol and yahoo have them as well-- one of the last two uses the same database as domania but the other doesnt--if that makes sense!!

Here are a couple of websites for local real estates in the Patchogue area. They have pictures and descriptions of homes in the area. The info includes taxes so you can get an idea. Patchogue has a lot going for it, local parks and beaches, lots of municipal services, a local downtown area, many different houses of worship and good schools. Taxes are not too bad compared to many other areas of LI and housing prices are very reasonable. You can commute to Manhattan from either the Patchogue train station or Ronkonkoma (about 10 minutes away). Both Swan Realty www.swanproperties.com and Belzak & Bodkin realty, www.belbod.com have many local listings. Good luck to all of you in your searches.
I live in Queens and a 2 bedroom bungalow in the neighborhood went for 229 two years ago and now they want 379 to 419. I say want because that is too expensive for a 2 bedroom one bath regardless of the taxes.
