Amenia, NY

Speechless Sunday-Too close for comfort

Although I am fascinated by trains having one pass directly over my head is just too close for comfort. This actually happened to me a couple years ago.

I had a land parcel listed in the town of Amenia which is located in the north eastern area of Dutchess County. The property was located just after that railroad bridge shown in the picture; and one day I was on my way to meet my client at the at the site when as soon as I was under the bridge the Metro North Harlem Line train passed overhead.

For most people they would not have given it a second thought but with my active imaginations I came up with lots of what ifs in a matter of a few seconds. Train passing directly over me is just too close for comfort.

THE TACK SHOP

In 2007 the total number of units closed in the Town of Amenia was 20. From the beginning of 2008 until today March 30th only 1 single family detached property closed. It was listed at $1,150,000 and sold for $975,000. Although the season started off slow as of this date there are 2 pending sales and 3 accepted offers which is a good sign that it is still possible to make or exceed the sale of 20 units this year.

There are also 41 single family detached properties available for sale, ranging from $58,000 to $8,500,000, I guess you could say there is a property to fit all pocket books.
