dutchess county homes: When it comes to marketing real estate, social media should not be an option - 10/16/11 11:35 PM
Google me, Google my competition. If they cannot promote themselves nearly as well online, then chances are they have not embraced technology enough to be promoting their listings effectively. Many agents still shy away from social media. I have had other brokers and colleagues tease me about being on Facebook too much. Imagine that.
Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin - I'm everywhere, all the time. It doesn't mean I am sitting around with too much time on my hands and not working out in the field. No, not the case. Most of the time I'm updating my Facebook status or tweeting from my smart phone while briefly stopping throughout my … (6 comments)

dutchess county homes: Landmark Case? ...Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union VS. The State of New York - 03/30/10 06:49 PM
How fair is this? Did you know that in New York, anyone obtaining a mortgage must pay a tax of 1.05% of the cost of the loan amount? Currently, a Dutchess County home-buyer who finances $300,000 is taxed $3,150, an amount which it typically added to the buyer's closing costs.
My source tell me that in other states throughout the United States, home buyers seeking mortgages through credit unions are not subjected to mortgage recording TAX. True or False? (Maybe some of the other Active Rain members will confirm).
And, how great would it be if home-buyers here in New York could avoid having … (7 comments)

dutchess county homes: Dutchess County - Not A Declining Market? ...Heard It Through The Grapevine. - 11/18/09 04:29 PM
Is there good news on the horizon for Dutchess County homeowners? Two mortgage representatives told me this week in separate conversations that the Dutchess County area is no longer deemed a declining market by the lenders they work for. One rep was specific to state that the term being used now to describe the local market is "soft."
I don't think we'll see any robust changes in the near future. Up until now Dutchess County had been considered a declining market for the last 18-24 months. It may remain soft for some time., but this is a little better than declining. Have we hit bottom? Will the market turn … (3 comments)

dutchess county homes: Poughkeepsie Area Market Overview - 11/12/09 09:31 AM
Local real estate statistics were recently published for October 2009. The market update below shows that closed sales and the number of purchase offers accepted are UP since last October, while the inventory of available homes for sale has declined. This is great news for sellers, and should serve as a caution for home buyers who are waiting to time the market. In fact, the average selling price has not even changed significantly since last year.

dutchess county homes: Town of LaGrange - Dutchess County, NY - 07/12/09 03:48 PM
The Town of LaGrange in Dutchess County is a scenic Hudson Valley Community located approximately 75 miles north of New York City. LaGrange has long been attractive due to the close proximity to a major north/south route, and the bucolic, scenic countryside. The town is mainly a residential area with most conveniences located in nearby Poughkeepsie. LaGrange includes the communities and hamlets of Arthursburg, Billings, Freedom Plains, LaGrangeville, Manchester Bridge, Moore's Mill, Noxon, Red Oaks Mill, Rombout Ridge, and Titus.

dutchess county homes: Poughkeepsie, NY - Information & Home Sales Statistics - 07/05/09 03:35 PM
Poughkeepsie (pronounced /pəˈkɪpsiː/) is one of the original towns of Dutchess County. The county's first house was erected here by Peter Pieterson Lassen in 1688, where its footprint can be observed in Bowdoin Park. Poughkeepsie, founded in 1687, lies on the east side of the Hudson River, halfway between New York City and Albany. Poughkeepsie has a number of notable institutions for arts and entertainment and is the home of two state-of-the-art hospitals, St. Francis and Vassar Brothers, both with heliport facilities.

dutchess county homes: Dutchess County, NY - Demographics Statistics - 07/05/09 03:00 PM
Dutchess County is located in the Mid-Hudson Valley, halfway between New York City and Albany. The area continues to attract businesses and new residents. Employment and business opportunities continue to increase. Many residents commute to jobs in Westchester County, Connecticut or Manhattan because Dutchess offers more affordable housing than in other suburbs closer to New York City. Commuting to points south is made easy via I-84, the Taconic Parkway, I-87 and Metro North commuter trains.

The Poughkeepsie Journal reported this week that the real estate market in the Mid-Hudson Valley is beginning to pick up pace. In March, accepted purchase offers rose 27.2%. Homes sold faster in March 2009 compared to a year ago with the average days on the market decreasing by 7.7 percent to 120 days.
One local broker had been quoted for the article to say "new federal first-time home buyer tax credit of up to $8,000, combined with mortgage rates at 5 percent and even below, are the keys".
