OUT & ABOUT IN THE 'BURBS THIS WEEKEND: FEBRUARY 6-8, 2015

The New Year is off and running, and February’s already shaping up to be a busy one for residential real estate:

• Mortgage rates rose last week, for the first time this year
• This and other rises—home prices, sales—are leading experts to push prospective owners to buy sooner rather than later
• A good growth indicator, it seems? The presence of a Starbucks…

It’s hard to imagine with the snowy weather we’ve had recently, but spring will be here before you know it. A great way to celebrate the chilly temperatures? Check out a local OUTDOOR ice rink as you’re hitting the ‘burbs this weekend!

• Picturesque and always fun, Wampus Pond in Armonk is a go-to for Westchester families—it’s even lighted, so skaters can enjoy an evening run!
• Roosevelt Park Ice Rink in Edison overlooks the lake and, for just $5-$6 per person, your family can skate for 2-3 hours on Saturday or Sunday
• In Connecticut? Check out the Westport PAL Rink at Longshore, with a great rink plus yummy concessions
• The family-friendly Syosset-Woodbury Community Park Ice Rink offers free skating for kids under 2, plus hot cocoa for the gang! 

Enjoy the weekend!
