How I spent the extra hour of daylight

I decided to get an early start on the garden beds so I did some raking and added compost to the Iris beds.

It fell really good to be working outside and I can't wait to see what will pop up out of the soil.

If you are looking to sell your home this spring getting an early start on the flower beds will certainly make the outside of the home more attractive.

Happy gardening.

Red Hook Real Estate Market Homes Sold in February 2012

The Source for homes sold in Red Hook NY is the Mid–Hudson Multiple Listing Service Inc (MHMLS). These figures are for single family detached homes sold in Red Hook NY and do not represent the total Red Hook real estate sales in Dutchess County. These figures for homes sold in Red Hook NY reflect the sales activity of the MHMLS, which comprises the largest sales volume sampling. The homes that were sold in Red Hook NY were a composite of those homes in the Red Hook Central School District. The homes sold in Red Hook NY that are privately or For Sale by Owner are not included in the sales volume sampling.

I would like to briefly explain the MHMLS.

The real estate brokers in the MHMLS have agreed to share their listings– information on properties features. All the homes on the MHMLS are pooled together in one listing.

What does that mean to the home buyer? A Buyer’s agency as Dirt Road Realty, a real estate agency committed exclusively to the home buyer, the home buyer can search for their home in one Red Hook Real Estate listing –in one place not searching multiple agencies for the same home.

Red Hook Market Report January 2012

Jennifer Fivelsdal Rhinebeck Real Estate (Serving Dutchess| Columbia|Ulster Ctys: Real Estate Agent in Rhinebeck, NY

Red Hook NY real estate market

In the month of January in Red Hook NY 3 homes sold, and what a spread in the price range $190,000 - $1,200,000. The $1,200,00 was a lovely stone house and farm from 1733. One house went under contract in the month of January, however there were 14 new listings.

Price Breakdown of the new listings

1 $100,000

3 $200,000 1 of the 3 was a short sale.

2 $300,000

6 $400,000

1 $500,000

1 $600,000

Based on market data for the county and the individual towns, most of the homes sold in January fell in the range below $300,000. What does that mean for you? If your Red Hook home is priced above this range your days on market will probably be longer, then again there is always an exception to the rule.

If you are thinking of selling I strong recommend you put your house on the market sooner that later. Before you do take steps to make it show ready. A real estate agent can give you some suggestions. I have always enjoyed helping clients get a sense of what changes to make, so that the home is more appealing and will sell for more.
