orange county ny: New York Homeowner's Do You Have Your STAR - Save On School Taxes - 02/14/12 09:44 AM
New York Residents..... Have you filed for a STAR exemption on your primary residence? I have been doing a little research in my neighborhood and found that there are quite a few houses that are not claiming a STAR exemption.  If you are the owner of a home that is your primary residence and the combined yearly income of the owners and spouse(s) who live there does not exceed $500,000 you should be claiming some relief on your School Tax Bill.  Some people it seems are unaware of the savings which can range from around $700 to $900 per year depending … (0 comments)

orange county ny: Did You Say Short Sale???? - 12/08/11 02:28 AM
Short Sales are on my mind these days.  I have a great one listed here in Pine Bush and have had many requests to go out and look for short sale properties from buyers I have been working with too.   Let's talk the reality of value on a short sale property.  Many of the buyers that I work with are under the mistaken impression that they are going to get a fantastic bargain on short sales.  Some, in fact, have told me that they only want to look at short sales or foreclosures so they can get the best possible value.  Well … (4 comments)

orange county ny: Do you want a home that works for you or do you want to be working for your home? - 06/15/11 03:35 AM
We all have dreams about the type of house we want to live in.  The location is perfect.  The condition is straight out of House Beautiful magizine. It has all the bells and whistles.  Unfortunately many people reach a little too far towards that dream and find themselves caught instead in a nightmare.   A home should be place where you can enjoy your family and freinds, and you can't do that if you buy a house that is truly beyond your means.  You need to carefully look at the reality of your finances, your lifestyle, and the bottom line monthly … (2 comments)

You might find buying a house in the Greater Hudson Valley of New York's Orange, Ulster, or Sullivan Counties is a little different than buying a home in other states and even in different areas of New York State.  This series will prepare you for searching for and buying real estate in my neck of the woods.
When you are looking for a house you should first speak with a mortgage representative.  You can speak with someone at your own bank, credit union, or a mortgage company.  It is my recommendation that you work with a lender who is at least … (3 comments)
