Bidding wars for Long Island homes are so brutal, even all-cash buyers are getting burned

Frank DiMaio had the cash, a signed contract and $230,000 sitting in escrow. He still lost the house he wanted to buy. The orthopedic surgeon, who recently hung up his scalpel after four decades, spent much of this year trying to swap the Old Brookville estate he and his wife have called home for about 25 years for something smaller on Long Island’s North Shore. Instead, the couple got a front-row seat to the most cutthroat housing scrum in the country. “I’ve never experienced anything like this,” DiMaio told The Post. Long Island has become the hardest place in America to buy a home, with Redfin repeatedly ranking Nassau and Suffolk counties as the nation’s strongest seller’s market even as most big metros tilt toward buyers.

Redfin has crowned Nassau and Suffolk counties the strongest seller’s market in America again and again, most recently clocking roughly 36% fewer sellers than buyers. Across most of the country, the pendulum has swung the other way, with 39 of the nation’s 50 biggest metros now favoring house hunters. On Long Island , nobody seems to have gotten the memo.

The victory for Eastchester was their third consecutive state title - a first in the sport since its inception at the state championship level in 2023. The win for Putnam Valley was its second straight state title and third in four years. And John Jay-East Fishkill won its first state title and the first ever for a Dutchess County school. Cheer has two different competition seasons in New York. Game day cheer is for activities and routines - as is evident in the name - that happen on a game day.
