Did you know? You can learn about recent house sales on Long Island by viewing the Nassau and Suffolk Profiles, available in hard copy at the Library.

Updated weekly, the Long Island Profiles list the local houses sold during that time, and provide the name of the purchaser, the address, the seller, and the selling price. Additionally, they list foreclosure properties. Cold Spring Harbor Library carries the Profiles for Oyster Bay / Hempstead Townships and Huntington / Smithtown Townships.

Whether you’re conducting business or just curious about your new neighbors, the Profiles are a great resource to check out. If you’re interested, visit the Information Services Desk at the Library and ask to see them.
