NY Assembly Bill A.8910 would require written buyer-broker agreements before working with homebuyers. 🔑 Key points:
✔️ Clear disclosures 📝
✔️ Compensation fully negotiable 💵
✔️ Transparency + consumer protection 🔍 This law would codify the NAR settlement (Aug 2024) into NY law—giving buyers more clarity & confidence in the process. 👉 What do you think—will this help buyers in NY? Share your thoughts below ⬇️ 📌 Full law posted in the comments. #diamondlawgroup #DLGfam #realestate #lawyers #attorneys #newyork #longisland #suffolk #nassau #nys #lifeandlegacy #pfl4life #nlbm @lawyeryoulove @newlawbusinessmodel @theclser_

📉🏡 Buyers Are Back in Charge! 🏡📉 According to a new report, 56% of homes in the U.S. are now selling below asking price — with the average sale closing about 💵 $45,000 under list. 👉 This shift shows the housing market is cooling, giving buyers more negotiating power than we’ve seen in years. ✨ What this could mean:
🔹 Sellers may need to adjust expectations
🔹 Buyers can shop with more leverage
🔹 A unique window of opportunity for first-time buyers & investors 🤔 What do you think?
➡️ Is it officially a BUYER’S MARKET?

• Spend quality time—fight loneliness (37% of adults 50+ report social isolation).
• Do something fun—a stroll in the park, a lunch date, a museum visit—make new memories.
• Lend a hand—offer help with chores, errands, or just being there.
• Swap stories—ask about their past, listen to their stories, and learn from their years of experience. And remember: honoring older adults isn’t just for this one day. Make connection and care a habit.

"Trustees: Beware of the unseen risks."
A widow shares how easily she could have mishandled her children’s trust—but chose integrity. This story is a sobering reminder: without oversight, even trusted individuals can go unchecked. At Diamond Law Group, we advise: Appointing co-trustees or professional trustees for built-in checks. Fostering trustee-beneficiary transparency with regular updates. Understanding and enforcing the Prudent Investor Rule in investments. Taking swift legal action—like demanding accountings or court intervention—if anything looks off. Protect what matters most. Make your trust both ethical and secure. 💬 Comment “RISKS” below and someone in our office will reach out to you shortly to discuss further. #diamondlawgroup #DLGfam #realestate #lawyers #attorneys #newyork #longisland #suffolk #nassau #nys #lifeandlegacy #pfl4life #nlbm @lawyeryoulove @newlawbusinessmodel @theclser_

🚨 Long Island’s Housing Crisis is Getting Worse 🏡 A new Regional Plan Association report warns that Long Island will need over 256,000 new homes by 2040 to meet growing demand. But with current zoning laws, only about 102,000 could actually be built — less than half of what’s needed. Why the shortfall?
📉 Steep drop in building permits.
💰 Rising construction costs.
📜 Zoning & regulatory hurdles slowing development. The result: soaring prices, younger Long Islanders moving away, and a deepening housing shortage that impacts everyone — from first-time buyers to aging residents hoping to stay in their communities. 📊 Newsday’s Quality of Life Survey shows most Long Islanders are deeply concerned about affording housing as their needs change. 💬 How do you think this will play out over the next 15 years? Share your thoughts in the comments below. #diamondlawgroup #DLGfam #realestate #lawyers #attorneys #newyork #longisland #suffolk #nassau #nys #lifeandlegacy #pfl4life #nlbm @lawyeryoulove @newlawbusinessmodel @theclser_

📊 Long Island Real Estate: Prices Keep Rising, Even as Sales Slow
The latest Q2 data shows a surprising twist—home sales dropped 10.6% year-over-year, but median prices hit record highs:
🏠 Nassau County: $850K (+6.3%)
🏡 Suffolk County: $700K (+5.3%)
📉 Inventory is just 3.1 months’ supply, keeping competition fierce and bidding wars alive. What this means:
🔹 Buyers are facing record prices and low inventory
🔹 Sellers still hold the advantage—if priced right
🔹 The market remains hot despite fewer transactions 💬 Do you think prices will keep climbing or is a cooldown coming?

📉 Mortgage Rate Drop Alert 🏡 "The average rate on a 30-year U.S. mortgage has fallen to its lowest level in four months — welcome news for prospective homebuyers who have been held back by stubbornly high home financing costs." ➡️ The rate now sits at 6.63%, down from 6.72% last week, according to Freddie Mac.
📆 A year ago, it was 6.47%. Lower rates could mean more buying power — is now your time to make a move? 💼🔑 #diamondlawgroup #DLGfam #realestate #lawyers #attorneys #newyork #longisland #suffolk #nassau #nys #lifeandlegacy #pfl4life #nlbm @lawyeryoulove @@newlawbusinessmodel @theclser_

🏠 NJ Just Raised Its Mansion Tax—and Shifted the Burden to Sellers. Could NY Be Next?
Starting July 10, 2025, New Jersey is increasing its mansion tax on properties over $1 million—and for homes above $2 million, the seller (not the buyer) will now pay it. 📊 New tiered rates range from 1% to 3.5%, depending on price. 🗽 What About Long Island and NY?
In New York State (outside NYC), including Long Island, the mansion tax is: ✅ A 1% flat tax on residential properties $1 million or more
✅ Paid by the buyer at closing
❌ No tiers or partial exemptions So if your purchase price is $999,999—you owe nothing.
If it’s $1,000,000—you owe $10,000, no matter what. BUT... 🏙️ In New York City, the mansion tax is tiered and increases with the purchase price—up to 3.9% for deals over $25 million. ⚖️ Could NY Shift Like NJ?
With NJ now easing the burden on buyers and shifting costs to sellers, pressure is growing in Albany to modernize NY’s mansion tax system—whether that means raising the $1M threshold, adjusting payment responsibility, or adopting a sliding scale statewide. Diamond Law Group is watching closely—and advising Long Island buyers and sellers on how today’s deals could be impacted by tomorrow’s changes. 📞 Call us today to make sure your transaction strategy fits the law as it stands—and where it’s going. #diamondlawgroup #DLGfam #realestate #lawyers #attorneys #newyork #longisland #suffolk #nassau #nys #lifeandlegacy #pfl4life #nlbm @lawyeryoulove @newlawbusinessmodel @theclser_
