Red Hook, NY

In the month of March in Red Hook the number of active listings under $400,000 numbered 34, of which 12 had price reductions. Within the $400,000 to $999,000 range there were 18 available listings and 8 of those had price reductions. Above $1,000,000 there were 4 listings with one price reduction. The average price in the active category was $508,964.00 and this was only because of the 4 listings over $1,000,000.

Of the 4 sales, 3 were in the $200,000 range and this pattern is also noticeable in other towns; here is where most action is being seen.

I can also see an opportunity here for First Time Buyers. Most of the available listings are within the $200,000-$300,000 range. Keep in mind the $8000 Tax Credit will only apply to purchases made by December 1, 2009. Search for an affordable Red Hook home here

Today being wordless Wednesday I was looking for a shot to highlight. This crate and farm stand caught my attention. This is a scene that screams spring and summer.

Dutchess County is an area with many pick-your-own farms and farm stands. With everyone tightening their belts this is one inexpensive activity that can delight a family.

I first met Sally Ann McGlade at a  Mid Hudson Women Networking even. She was so warm and welcoming that I was not surprised to learn that she was the owner of a spa.

Tranquilty is a day SPA located in the village of Red Hook and has been in operation for the last 2 1/2 years.  According to Sally Ann, now more than ever, we all need to take time out to pamper ourselves and her spa caters both to women and men.

Sally has over 25 years in the beauty business and has also worked as an instructor at a beauty school. She has a passion for helping people look and feel their best.

This spa offers many services. On the day I stopped in I met one of her regular clients, Andrea, who was in for the works.  She was especially looking forward to the microderm abrasion because, now that spring was here, it was time to get rid of those dead skin cells and make the skin breathe.  Looking at her skin I think I too will be going in to rejuvenate my skin.

Tranquility offers a variety of individual services such as:

• Massages
• Manicures
• Pedicures
• Waxing
• Facials
• Microderm Abrasion
• Ionic Detox Foot Therapy

Clients have come from as far south as Westchester and it is possible to book a full day package.  A husband and wife might want to do this to treat themselves, or a group of girl friends looking to spend a day together pampering themselves may opt for the full-day package.

The Ionic Detox foot therapy is also another popular service, this was featured in the Poughkeepsie Journal's "Living & Being"  A guide to wellness in April 2008.

I so love all the vibrant colors to be found in nature. So after a long harsh winter I can't wait for the flowers to color my world. I love a variety of colors but over the last few years I have added many shades of purple to purple my garden.
