There will always be inventory available for sale and it will all get sold. My aunt literally got an offer on her house 4 days after she put it for sale - there are a lot of people hungry for good homes here …
If your aunt lived in Western Nassau near a train I wouldn’t be surprised. If she was in Central Suffolk I would be.
As long as there are commutable high paying jobs LI will be in demand, at least within a 60 minute commute.
Where it gets tougher is when a ton of jobs in the middle of Suffolk disappeared - Symbol, CA and so on. CA had over 2000 people on LI and friends tell me it’s down to under 200 since it was sold. Many of those people lived east of Exit 58.

Yup Western Nassau. I was surprised how fast she sold it. Still on the isle, just downsizing

My house was in eastern nassau only a few miles from suffolk and we had multiple over ask offers before we even had the damn open house. Nassau and near train with “perceived” good schools = sold. Wouldn’t be so bad if 300k people left LI less traffic and congestion.
It’s always the same LI Debbie downers over and over. I don’t even read it anymore.
"B-b-b-but the suburbs are bastions of conformity and lack the authenticity of city life!!"
Garden-variety knee-jerk pap from the 60s boho playbook, assist to the late Jane Jacobs. Of course Jacobs was proven wildly wrong (in two countries, yet) but some people still think this sort of silliness is quite daringly transgressive.

My thing with schools is like if you are an involved parent and your kid has more than one brain cell, he/she will probably get a pretty decent education. Your high school doesn't determine your success as an adult.
But I mean I get it. People want good schools, that's cool. Still even the worst schools on LI are pretty good compared to most of the schools in this country.
New York's curriculum is more rigorous than other states to begin with, so even just by that alone.
I wouldn't purposely seek out low-ranking school districts but @ the same time, even if I did have kids, if I got some amazing deal on a great house, I might consider it.
Schools schmools.
If your kid is smart they will do good in Jericho or Hempstead schools.
But if your kid is a moron, they will be a moron in any school as well. Mama always said you can't fix stupid.
