You can’t avoid news about the downturn in the national home market, yet our region has been enjoying a less traumatic year. If you own a home in Ulster County, it has most likely appreciated by a smidge. Yes, it isn’t much, but it’s a whole lot better than most of the country!

Some of the reasons for this apparent strength in the Hudson Valley real estate market?

  • No major new home developments over the past decade
  • Proximity to New York City (2 hours)
  • Preservation of open space, state parks, Scenic Hudson lands, and large farms
  • Diverse mix of people
  • An abundance of colleges & culture
  • Most mortgages written by known local lenders
