You really can't find this sort of elegance for this price, (UNDER $400,000)!

Many who live here in the Hudson valley say that Fall is their favorite time to be here.  Besides all the great colors, farms, and things to do, there is also a lot of great value in the local Real Estate market right now.  

As a Realtor, I have to look at the current market and record low interest rates I have to  wonder why buyers  are hesitant to “pull the trigger” and BUY right now.  Here is a great article I just read and really agree with.  It talks about Real estate as an investment, but I always tell my clients when they ask about property as an investment that they can actually be living in and enjoying what they own.

I work with a lot of “weekenders” who are looking for a second place to buy.  They are really great to work with because I like to show them how very close towns are to each other, but how very different communities can be. 

One of my properties on the market right now is a really sweet Cape in Marbletown, (Stone Ridge).   Where else can you find almost 2,000 square feet of living space AND on 3 acres of land for $260,000?  Here is the house…
