The Beekman Arms, Rhinebeck, NYThere is a nice selection of homes for sale in the Village of Rhinebeck. As of April 1, 2009 there are 18 homes for sale in Rhinebeck Village. The homes range in price from $237,000 to $2,195.000 dollars. That is quite a range! Of the 18 homes for sale one is priced at more than $1,000,000.

  • Average listing price is $591,267
  • Average Days on Market (DOM) is 262
  • There were no homes closed on in March
  • 3 houses currently has an Accepted Offer

When doing these market reports I also like to report the statistics eliminating the homes that are priced over $1,000,000 as they can skew the prices of what a "typical" home would be. Eliminating the homewith an asking price over $1,000,000 the statistics show the following:

  • Average listing price us $471,286

  • Price it correctly with the help of a real estate professional - pricing is the single most important factor

What does this mean if you are looking to buy a home in the Village of Rhinebeck? You have a great selection to choose from. With the help of a good real estate agent you are in an excellent position to negotiate. As a buyer you must be aware the mortgage market is changing rapidly. You owe it to your yourself and to sellers to be sure you are preapproved for a mortgage and that you have enough of a down payment to get that final committment from your mortgage company. Be sure to check with your lender to see if they have established a minimum percentage of selling price for your down payment.

FHA loans which require only a 3.5% down payment are available for buyers with good credit. Interest rates are at historic lows and the new First Time Home Buyer's Tax Credit can be $8,000 back in your pocket!

Sugar Plum Boutique Exterior

Are you looking for a great place to buy cosmetics, get advice on what shades suit you the best and receive personalized, top notch customer service? Look no more! The Sugar Plum Boutique located at 71 E. Market in Rhinebeck, NY is such a place.

Sugar Plum Boutique is owned and run by Owner Diana BrindDiana Brind a licensed cosmetologist who manufactures her own line of mineral based cosmetics. Diana's slogan is "Life is chaotic, you might as well look good." I walked into Diana's shop about 6 years ago to give my make up an updated look. I was immediately sold on her products, her shop and her easy going manner. I purchased several items from her line of mineral based products and from the very first day I began to use them the compliments began. "Wow, you look great!" "Your skin looks just beautiful!" "I don't know what you've been doing but you look 10 years younger (I really liked that one!).

I have been a fan ever since. Diana has many loyal customers who feel the same way that I do. There is never any pressure to purchase anything and her cheerful attitude is always refreshing.

Sugar Plum Boutique also carries a line of custom jewelry, called aptly, Diana Brind Jewelry which is primarily sterling, gemstones and pearls. She also carries a great selection of very reasonably priced watches and are you ready for this...she will change your batteries for free forever on any watch you purchase from the shop.

In addition to watches, jewelry and make up she also carries runway sample clothing, handbags, wallets, scarves, shawls, hair ornaments and belts. She has recently added vintage cowboy boots and vintage leather jackets.

Sugar Plum Boutique is located directly across from the the Rhinebeck Firehouse and adjacent to the municipal parking lot. The shop is open 7 days a week from approximately 10:30A-6:30PM. There can be a slight variation if one of her kids has a special event or just needs their Mom to be there for them. What mother can't understand that?

So, next time you're in the Village of Rhinebeck stop by and say Hello! to Diana.
