Hyde Park, NY

I recently went up to visit family in New York State. Of course my children know when we are getting closer because it is no longer flat, as we are use to in New Jersey. One of the tours we went on was held at the Culinary Institute of America. I would highly recommend this tour if you are in the Hyde Park area on a Monday morning or Thursday afternoon. There is alot of interesting information provided along with several choices for dining. Even if you can't make the tour, a stop for lunch or early dinner is a must!

Hyde Park presently has about 135 properties listed for sale. During the month of September there were only 5 sales a drop from the previous month which had 13 sales. Most of the homes on the market falls between the 100's-400's range so there are many buying opportunities.

With such high inventory level I will give Hyde Park sellers the same advice I have given to other sellers, price right, stage and most of all provide access.

The existing properties ranged from $ 9000- $ 3,200,000

It is no secret that new construction is down. But if you are in the market for a brand new home have no fear there are still some new subdivisions. A little over a week ago I attended the grand opening of the subdivison called The Meadow At Hyde Park.

There are several styles to choose from and prices starting at $339,000.

Good location - Hyde Park is located next to Poughkeepsie where you will find most of Dutcheess County offices. There are two colleges, Marist and Vassar as well as corporations such as IBM. In Hyde Park you will find the very popular Culinary Institute of Amerca. In addition this subdivision is located off Cream Street which is also a short ride to the Taconic State Parkway which is a prefered commuter roadway for many working further south. And of course there is Metro North trains for those commuting to NYC.

So what are some of the features in these homes?

Hardwood floors on first floor, granite counters, fireplace, Jacuzzi, 9' ceiling on first floor, however since there are several styles as well as prices the packages differ.

So if you are in the market for a new home I would be delighted to assist you realize this dream. Working as your Buyer Representative I would point out the pitfalls to avoid even when buying a brand new home. The major one being the need to have a thorough inspection.
