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. Bloomberg via Getty Images He’s got plenty of company. 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.

CROSS RIVER - It's been a week to remember for Arlington volleyball. On Saturday, the Admirals broke a drought for the program, winning the school's first Section 1 Class AAA championship in 15 years in dramatic fashion. Arlington avenged early-season losses to John Jay with a thrilling four-set victory to capture the sectional crown. Just four days later, the Admirals were back on the court. The results were the same in the end, just a little less stressful this time. Controlling momentum from the opening serve, Arlington grabbed a convincing three-set sweep over Section 9's Monroe-Woodbury in the New York State Class AAA subregional at John Jay-Cross River on Wednesday afternoon. It's been a dream week inside of a dream season for the Admirals, who are making sure to cherish the moments and achievements along the way. "It means the world to me. These girls are my best friends, I say it all the time," senior Amelia Giorgi said after the game when asked about the emotions of the past two victories.

Bull Hill (Mount Taurus) Hike in Cold Spring: An Easy Quarry Trail and a Fall Walking Meditation in the Hudson Valley

Bull Hill rises directly above the village of Cold Spring, and every weekend the Metro-North platform below it fills with people carrying backpacks, trail snacks and the bright expression of New Yorkers who have decided that today they are outdoorsy. Most of them are headed for the summit of Mount Taurus, the mountain’s other name and its more glamorous one. I came for the first half mile. On a clear November afternoon I walked the Washburn Trail up to the abandoned quarry at the foot of the mountain, a small and easy Hudson Valley hike that delivers a golden meadow, a wall of ancient rock and enough stillness to rearrange an entire week.
