Dutchess County Real Estate Market Report - June 2009

I think there is more optimism about the real estate market in Dutchess County. We are definitely seeing more potential buyers entering the marketplace. Could it be due to the fact there are more good buys out there ? or the time to take advantage of the $8000 tax credit is getting shorter? I have also noticed that some sellers are now adjusting to the shift in the market and is pricing with that in mind.

  • Good to see offers at the beginning of the month up by 13% over same time last year, going from 145 to 165
  • Another noteworthy number is the sales dollar volume which is down 28.9% from same time last year, going from $52,1666,238 to $37,114,625. The big drop is also due to the fact that the majority of sales have been on the lower end of the inventory range and this is noticeable when you compare last year average and median price to this year.

The condo townhouse market is doing well, sales is up a third over last year. Unlike the single family detached home market, the sale dollar volume is up over last year. This is not surprising as the drop in the average price was only down 9.0% over last year and sales was up.

Donna - Yes there is more activity in the market.  I really believe the First Time Buyer are trying to make that deadline to get the tax credit and those in a good financial position can get good buy at this time.

As usual Jennifer nice job keeping everyone up to speed on the local Real Estate stats for the month!

Jennifer the $8,000 tax credit is definitely becoming more and more of a motivator for first time homebuyers as we approach that December 1st deadline.

Hi Jennifer,


Good info, especially the 2008/2009 comparisions. And I'd agree about the time on the $8,000 tax credit nearing in Nov. At this point we're writing so many offers just getting one accepted is a big deal now. Not sure if I was a home buyer I'd want to wait around.

Jennifer - the # of days on the market decreasing and the rate of closed sales increasing - that says a lot. All this with fallen home prices....why wouldn't this be a good indicator that the time to buy is NOW. Especially with the $8000 first time buyer tax credit???  These are all positives.

Bill - I try, and I keep going because I know it is appreciated.


George we are seeing it hear too.


Teri - Thank you.  I am happy to see more buyers entering the marketplace.


Lynda - I have been telling buyers not to wait until the last moment because something could hold up the closing.


Carole I agree, there are opportunities right now.  The question is; how long will it last?
