hudson valley: As the Seasons Change, So Do the Views … Well, Most of Them… - 11/20/08 04:11 AM

I was driving up the road today enjoying the seasonal views, which in the Hudson Valley means enhanced views of the mountains ... so much so that you have no doubt you are in a valley.  In Cornwall, they seem to encircle you; you get the feeling that you are in one big bowl! 
To provide enough water for its millions, New York City owns and maintains reservoirs in upstate New York.  When it decided where to locate these reservoirs, it did not matter if a town stood on the desired spot ... open the flood gates, bye-bye town.  Thankfully, … (3 comments)

hudson valley: Thinking About Buying a Home in Cornwall, NY? - 06/11/08 01:53 PM
Smart move, Cornwall is a beautiful area nestled in the mountains with the historic Hudson running along its coast.
Here, you can find any type of home you desire from an historic gem to a modern estate ... Town or Village living or acres of land to call your own.
And the best thing about Cornwall?  It's people!  
Cornwall is a community where anyone would be happy to live and thrive.  I know; I live in Cornwall myself.  And it's close to New York City where you can connect with the world!
So, don't waste any more time thinking about it.

hudson valley: Why Did the Homebuyer Cross the Road? - 06/08/08 03:24 AM
Yesterday, I showed several homes in the same area, all of which are in the same price range and of the same architectural style.  The area has a large inventory, so it is not uncommon to find three for sale on the same block.  When a buyer can simply cross the road to find another home, you just have to consider the competition.  Look at your local market.
Not too long ago, it may have been feasible for a homebuyer to say, "Well, I really like the house; I can always replace the siding."  Now, it's more like, "Well, why would … (9 comments)

hudson valley: It's Supposed To Look That Way - 06/05/08 05:46 AM
It is one thing for buyers to be ignorant about building materials, but quite another for Realtors.  If we take the time to do a bit of research before showing a home, we may have a better chance of selling it.  Very often, I find myself explaining cedar-shake siding!
I am not usually present when another Realtor shows my listing, but because I had not yet installed a lock box, I had the opportunity to be there.  The agent looked the house up and down with an expression of disgust, and the potential buyer noticed! 
Here I go again, I thought ... … (4 comments)

hudson valley: When Buying Means Selling First - 06/04/08 07:26 AM
The need to sell a home before you can buy is not uncommon and often, a daunting experience for homeowners.  It is human nature to want to move ahead to the exciting prospect of finding that perfect new home. 
However, there are two facts that you need to consider:
the real estate market is local, and a Realtor can help you. The real estate market varies from location to location.  It may be a good market for selling in one and a slow market for selling in another.  Market conditions in your area will determine
how many days your home may … (2 comments)

hudson valley: Get Out Now?? - 05/21/08 01:20 AM
The code on the CO2 detector indicated, GET OUT NOW!!  What should we do honey?  Well, we've been here for a month, and we are still alive!  See!  Those drafty old windows saved our lives, and you want to replace them.  And so began my subscription to Old House Journal and my relationship with my very own, old home ... 1920 to be exact.
 Old homes hold secrets, and not necessarily the kind you see on HGTV's If Walls Could Talk.  Given the age of the house, an opening in the chimney, at one time, accommodated a wood burning stove in … (2 comments)
