Ulster County NY Real Estate
Located 75 miles north of New York City, between the majestic Hudson River and the rolling hills of the Catskill Mountains, Ulster County NY real estate encompasses properties for every taste.
There is no shortage of recreational activities from skiing, hiking, biking or climbing in the Catskill and Shawangunk Mountains, to cruising the scenic shores of the Hudson River or exploring the Ashokan Reservoir or Rondout Reservoir. Part of the allure to Ulster County Real Estate is the richness and depth of our shared American history. Nowhere else in the world can you walk down the oldest street in America, wander past stone houses built in the mid-1600’s and within steps have access to the most modern of amenities.
From original colonial architecture to the most modern of contemporary designs, Ulster County NY Real Estate has a home that will suit the most discerning of tastes.
Ulster Property Sales:
What a year 2007 has been! Ulster property sales have been brisk to say the least. From Accord to New York, from Woodstock to Rosendale, approximately 1,866 properties were sold in 2007. During 2007 we noticed a slight slow down in the number of sales and a slight increase in the number of active listings which remain on the market for a longer time.
The recent decline in Ulster Property Sales may signal a trend to moderation, a trend that is expected to continue for a few months before leveling off. A closer view of Ulster Property Sales indicates that the median price this year is quite similar to that of 2006 although the “typical” Ulster home has increased in value.
Ulster County MLS:
A review of the Ulster County MLS data for the year ending in December 2007 showed that the total number of properties listed was 6,354. The number that actually sold was 1,866 (less than 30%). The average list price stayed right around $305,000. The good news is that the average sale price remained at $287,340 which is on average, almost 95% of the average asking price. The bad news is that 69% of our Ulster County inventory remained unsold through 2007.
As is fairly typical, the last months of the year saw an increase in Ulster County listings and a slight decrease in sales. This would indicate a cooling off in the market and means that sellers are listing property more realistically.
