Want to know what price houses are selling for in Middletown? During the month of October there were 22 homes Guess What that sold within the Middletown City School District. The selling prices on single family residential houses ranged from $82,000 to $366,000. The median of the data available shows us that homes are selling at close to 100% of the listing price at the time of sale. This tells us that homeowners are listing the houses that are selling at very close to market value. If you are out there looking at homes this is important for you to know. This is also something you will not learn from the listing agent or the homeowner trying to sell his home on his own.

It is important for you as a Real Estate Buyer to determine the value of a property you are interested in. Working with a Buyer's Representative gives you the upper hand in negotiations because they will prepare an analysis of the property you want to make an offer on using the most current data available. They can help you to determine a realistic negotiating strategy and help avoid mistakenly offering more than a property will appraise for.

The Middletown City School District has recently added a world class outdoor Barnitz Stadium with state of the art facilities for athletes. They district has many programs available for students of varied interests.

I work as a Buyer's Representative in the Middletown City School District and surrounding areas. I would love to help you find and purchase the right home for you at the right price for this market. If you are looking here text, call, or email me today. I can also find you an excellent Buyer Representative anywhere else you may be looking.

Please consider giving one of these children a place in your heart and home.

November is National Adoption Month and time once again for the Heart Gallery of the Mid-Hudson. Orange, Putnam, Westchester and Ulster Departments of Social Services have collaborated on the 5th annual Heart Gallery of the Mid-Hudson, which opens in Orange County this Friday, November 13th in the Galleria Mall, Dicks courtyard.

Please join us for a special opening ceremony at 3 PM on Friday.

The Heart Gallery is a touching portrait exhibit of children and youth who are waiting for adoptive families and a home to call their own. A national movement, Heart Galleries have been very successful in raising awareness about adoption through foster care and the many children and youth who are waiting and hoping for adoptive families. After appearing in the Heart Gallery of the Mid-Hudson, over the past three years, nearly 40 children, many of them teens, sibling groups and those with special needs, have been adopted.

If you or anyone you know has ever considered adoption or would like to know more about adoption through foster care, please visit the Heart Gallery this weekend (November 13 - 15) and share this information with colleagues, friends and family. Don't miss the opportunity to see moving portraits of waiting children and youth from Orange and surrounding counties, and learn from their own words what being adopted would mean to them.

You can also visit our special adoption website AdoptOrangeCountyNY.org

Help change the life of a child - just by sharing this information, you could be the link to finding their forever family!
