[quote=Anonymous]On Long Island in regards to why neighborhoods remain white, black, Spanish, Indian even in 2022 is an easy explanation.

Dual listing is allowed and real estate is hyper local. My town had three major real estate brokers. All three lived in town. All three don’t share listings.

When a home such as when I sold house it was 5 percent commission with 3.5 percent if realtor sells.

So the seller would rather pay less commission and agent wants to get paid more commission.

The realtor is a neighbor who lives in same town. When I was house hunting I used at least 20 different realtors. I was interest Manhasset, Rockville Centre, Garden City, Lynnbrook and Oceanside. Each town was different realtors.

And a lot done open houses.

It also goes back to zoning when homes were built. Laurel Hollow where really rich people live is two acre SFH zoning with zero commercial properties. Every street in town has zero street parking non residents and parks are resident only with gates. It is not changing. They don’t even allow schools or churches!! Kids go to school in Oyster Bay.

Meanwhile some towns like Roosevelt which is all black homes are very small, almost zero zoning [/quote]
