You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
It is snowing lightly in Red Hook, a rare occurrence this winter. Today happen to be a regular scheduled winter market event at the Elmendorph.
There is always a variety of produce and and products to see. At one of the recent event I picked up the black turnip which I really enjoyed, can't say the same for the rest of the family they just did not like the way it looked.
Another time I picked up some goat's milk soap yes there were unscented bars available.
So don't let the light snow stop you from visiting the market today.
Before getting into the market trends in Red Hook for November, I just wanted to let you know Red Hook is having a Bicentennial celebration in 2012. The kickoff was in September, as you will see in the video below. During Hardscrabble day much oral history was video taped and will be shared on the Bicentennial website Red Hook 200, check back regularly for new videos and updates on events.
So, how was the Red Hook real estate market in November? I am happy to inform you that it was a good month. Between the town and village there were 11 sales. 8 of the 11 were under $300,000 which is very much in line with the rest of the county. The most expensive home was listed at over $2,000,000 and sold for $1,800,000, a home with spectacular views of the Hudson River. The million dollar sale made the average sale price come in over $400,000 and if you take it out of the equation the average would be under $300,000.
This November in Red Hook 7 more homes sold than last November and at that time the most expensive home sold was $3,000,000.
Other trends in the maket
More homes listed for sales are also listed for rent because days on market is much longer for homes over $300,000.
I noticed more deep reduction for homes in the higher price ranges, the intent being to pique more interest.
