Red Hook Real Estate Market Report - August 2008

 Evergreen Tree in front of Linden Ave School Red Hook

 There are about 86 homes available between the town and village of Red Hook.  For the month of August only 6 properties closed.  I hardly think I need to say that the inventory is high and some of these will not be sold this year.

What can a seller do to have a competitive edge?

  • Make sure property is priced right. With the assistance of a real estate agent see how recent sales compare to your home.
  • Be very flexible with access.  Remember inventory is high so if a buyer can't get reasonable access he or she will move on.
  • Curb Appeal - Landscaping should be inviting. We are approaching Fall so make sure leaves are raked up.
  • Consider Staging - spending a few hundred dollars could make all the difference

Jennifer, Another great market report.  You also give some practical advice to sellers.

So I am coming to visit my daughter in Queens the 18th thru the 21st.  You won't be making it in to the city during that time will you?

Excellent merger of good narrative and meaningful statistics.  That's not easy to do, but I think that's what consumers prefer.

Eloise - You are so right it is a great time for buyers to take advantage of the market.  Some of the higher end properties do go faster.
