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.
Here's a look at the market conditions for single family homes in Highland:
| total listings | Average DOM* | Lowest | Highest | Average | Median |
| 72 | 119 | $119,000 | $3,300,000 | $417,830 | $339,000 |
These are all the listings in Highland that have sold since August 1. As you can see, homes that are priced correctly, sell the quickest. Several houses were re-listed several times, and the prices dropped repeatedly when the houses failed to sell.
