During the month of April the Town of Red Hook and The villages of Red Hook and  Tivoli had  combined sales of 5 of which 2 were bank owned properties. 

The sale price ranged from $142,500 -272,500 which is similar to the rest of the county in the sense that  most of the sales are in the lower end of the market.

So, what can sellers do to to gain a competitive edge?

  1. Make sure that your property is priced right
  2. Take care of any issues that could be troublesome to buyers i.e. underground oil tank.
  3. Provide access; there are still too many properties with restricted access.
  4. Don't get offended by a low offer- keep negotiating.

Buyers it's time to act!

  1. Only about 6 months left for you to take advantage of the $8000 tax credit -you have to close on a property by November 30th. 
  2. Prices on many properties have come down
  3. Low mortgage rates.

Jennifer, that is the price range that is moving around here as well, because it is the range that most first time homebuyers fall in.  The higher price properties are hurting.

Hi Jennifer,

Good info on the Red Hook real estate market. And you know the 6-month end of the tax credit will be here before we know it.

Jennifer,
You have provided some good tips/information for buyers and sellers.  Negotiation, that's the name of the game in this market.

George - That is true, the first time buyers are driving the market.

Lynda time is running out, it was great to hear that the rules are changing and the credit will be allowed for down payment.   This will really help, since coming up with a down payment is a stumbling block for many.

Cynthia I just can't understand why many stop negotiating early, in this market all parties should try hard to figure out a way around these hurdles.

Laurie - Thank you.  How are things on the island?

Bill - I agree we need to pick up the pace, here is hoping the new changes with the tax credit will help,

Jennifer: Nice local report! It looks like there are some great bargains in your area.... I say to buyers: get off the fence before it's too late.

Jennifer our market is showing the lower end moving too, very well.  We are still stalled in the 400-600K range, but now our high end is starting to move again... trickle down affect i hope.

Jennifer - The demand for high end is apparently NOT.  The market is fueled by that first time buyer tax credit and low end homes seem to be all that is selling in Dutchess.

Kim - Glad to hear you are seeing some action in the higher price ranges.

Carol - It is a fact the low end is moving as well as the bank owned properties.
