If you've been thinking of buying a house, maybe this is the time to stop thinking and put in an offer. Prices are down and many owners are anxious to sell. Highland, New York is a great community to look in. Highland is centrally located between Poughkeepsie, Kingston, New Paltz and Newburgh. There are currently dozens of houses to choose from- from handy-man specials to large estates and from condos to new construction.
