The Queens real estate market is hot. From co-ops to Colonials, Tudors to townhouses, throughout the borough properties are being purchased almost as fast as they’re listed. And with interest rates still relatively low, the time is ripe to buy, whether it’s a first home or an upgrade. But even if purchasing a home is not in the foreseeable future, attending an open house is an ideal way of sampling the market, so you’re prepared when you are ready to take the big step of buying a home. But don’t wait until spring, the height of the open house season, when competition is fierce and the pace is frenetic. Beat the crowds; take your time and enjoy the experience, while also having an early shot as some great house by attending an open house off-peak, i.e now! Here are three great opportunities this weekend:
