What struck me about this horse is the way it stood out among the crowd, it was if he knew he was different but that did not stop him from holding his head high.</p> <p><img title="Speechless Sunday| I might be different but I hold my head high" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/4/4/2/8/ar132908816582449.jpg" height="480" alt="Horse" width="640" style="margin: 3px;"></p> <div class="agent_signature"> <p><strong>Jennifer Fivelsdal - JFIVE HOMES REALTY LL</strong><strong>C</strong> - 845-758-6842- <a href="mailto:jennifer@jfivehomes.com">jennifer@jfivehomes.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jfivehomes.com/"><strong>www.jfivehomes.com</strong></a> or <a href="http://www.midhudsonhomevalue.com"><strong>www.midhudsonhomevalue.com</strong></a></p> <p><a href="http://follr.me/Fivelsdal"><img src="http://follr.me/Content/Images/btn_follr_01.png" alt=""></a> |<strong><a href="http://valleymusing.com/rss" title="Subcribe to valleymusing" target="_blank">subscribe to Blog</a> <a href="http://www.jfivehomes.com" target="_blank"><img title="Real Estate -JFIVE HOMES REALTY LLC" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/8/9/8/3/ar126731628338985.jpg" height="78" alt="JFIVE HOMES REALTY LLC" width="150"></a></strong></p> <p> </p> </div> Jennifer Fivelsdal Rhinebeck Real Estate (Serving Dutchess| Columbia|Ulster Ctys (LIC.

days on market increasing 32.2% in the single family detached market, it is important to<strong> price your home correctly</strong>.<strong>  How can you do this?</strong> look at the supporting data provided to you by your agent, the market doesn't lie.  It might shock you but those numbers represent what buyers are currently paying in the existing market.</li> <li>We have had an unusually mild winter,and as a result buyers are out shopping.  For some, the existing inventory is stale, so if you are thinking of selling your home don't wait for the official start of spring; get a headstart to avoid a more competitive market when everyone else decides to put their house on the market.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Buyer's Market</strong></p> <p>What a great time to be a buyer;the interest rate is low, recently under 4%, and prices on many homes have fallen.  I have had the opportunity to help several first time buyers purchase homes they can now afford.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you are looking for a home in Dutchess County I would welcome the opportunity to help you find that home.</p> <p><strong>Call today to get started  845-758-6842</strong>  </p> <p> </p>

http://activerain.com/blogsview/2706180/dutchess-county-real-estate-market-report-december-2011 <p><strong>The number of single family detached homes sold in Dutchess County in December 2011 was 112</strong> which was <strong>12</strong> less than the same time last year.  Average price fell <strong>13.4</strong> percent and median <strong>13.1</strong> percent; the comparison to last year is noted in the chart below.</p> <p><strong>What is the average time on the market for Dutchess County single family homes</strong>?<strong> 152</strong> days which is 6 more than same time last year.  The inventory fell <strong>6.6</strong> percent  and the absorption rate fell by <strong>2</strong> months from last month, but we are still in an entrenched buyer's market.</p> <p>Keep in mind that although it is a buyer's market there are still properties that will get multiple offers and will do so in just a few days.</p> <p>Sellers  your competition is not just another resale put also the distressed market which consist of the short sales and foreclosures.  These properties are more aggressively priced therefore you do need to pay close attention to pricing the home to sell from the get go.</p> <p>The graph below will give you a picture of the rise and fall of the market from December 2003-2011.</p> <p><strong>Is the market picking up?</strong> that is a frequently asked questioned.  I personally saw more buyers out looking at homes in the last 2 months of the year and I heard the same thing from other agents, so I am hoping we will see great numbers in January.</p> <p>Usually in the winter things slow down but with the weather staying warmer and the lack of snow that is probably one reason some decided to get a headstart on buying a house.  So sellers instead of waiting for spring when the competition heats up now would be a good time to get your home on the market.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Single Family Detached Homes Sales in Dutchess County in December 2011
