About Ellenville located in Ulster County, New York

By
Real Estate Agent with R.J. Smith Realty/Real Estate Solutions

The Village of Ellenville is located in the Town of Wawarsing in Ulster County, New York.  It is at the junction of Route 52 and US 209.  It is an easy to commute from Ellenville to Orange and Sullivan counties.   

The first building was erected in the community around 1805, but by 1823 there were only about 4 houses in the village. The Village of Ellenville was incorporated in 1838. 

A more little known fact is that Ellenville was the 4th community featured on ABC's television show, "My Kind of Town", on September 4, 2005. 

The Post Office and The Hunt Memorial Building are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

One of the most beautiful, up and coming communities in the area, Ellenville is close to hiking, biking, skiing, and great local restaurants and businesses.

Hi Sarah,

 

My name is Lou Lynch from Prudential Nutshell Realty.  I stumbled upon your post while looking through the Ulster County Blogs and seen your post about Ellenville. 

 Last year I listed a house in Napanoch.  Absolutely beautiful and priced well under appraided value.  WOuldn't you know the thing WOULD NOT SELL.  I marketed the beans out of it i.e. slide shows, virtual tours, websites, open houses, ads you name it, I did it and that thing would not sell.  Why do you think that was?  I am very interested in your response because i don't list a lot in that area and haven't listed since.  I love Ellenville and the surrounding area but am scared that there is something I don't know about the area that is inhibiting my success.

Lou:

Without knowing more details, it is hard to say.  Compared to Orange County (Middletown, Pine Bush, etc.), the houses are selling for a lot less.  Also, there is a lot on the market in the Ellenville-Wawarsing area so Buyers have a lot to choose from.  The house has to priced very competitively and has to stand out amongst the competition. 

I know that there are homes selling in Napanoch and Ellenville.  Did you have the home listed in the GHVMLS in addition to the UCMLS?  I think that helps.   

If you would like to give me more details, I would be happy to help you more.  Thanks.
