Saugerties is more than just Jimmy Fallon's hometown...



As a Realtor in the Hudson Valley, I really think that Saugerties is one of the hottest and strongest markets right now.  Homes in Saugerties seem to sell much faster than other Hudson Valley towns, (median days on the market in Saugerties this past year was 146 days).  Living here in the Catskills for 13 years now, I have really seen Saugerties change a lot and FAST!


This is a great Huffington Post article that lists some really cool spots in Saugerties and being Jimmy Fallon’s childhood home.  A client of mine who is a big fan of Jimmy Fallon bought his childhood home on Overbaugh Street, (really cool seeing the sellers name “FALLON” on the listing)!




Here is a pretty funny video clip of Jimmy Fallon’s Saugerties High School teachers…



Two of my favorite spots in town to eat are Mirabella’s…




and Stella’s Station

From Rio back to the Hudson Valley...

The Hudson Valley Real Estate market usually slows down during the middle of winter and it’s when I take my two month vacation each year to Rio De Janerio.  One sure sign that the market is changing is that last year and this year my properties really had a lot of previews and I even sold homes these past two winters!  It’s an exciting sign of a changing Ulster County Real Estate market!
I rent an apartment each year in Ipanema and have been going to Rio for the past 15 years.  I have a lot of very close friends there and it’s always great to get back and see everyone each year.  I am in Rio during Carnaval each year and even get to parade and compete with one of the major “samba schools”, Vila Isabel.
I have been back less than a week and already have clients to take out to see homes.  I let sellers know that the “buyers who are out looking during winter are the SERIOUS buyers”.  This was a brutal winter and buyers that were out looking were serious and put offers in on properties and Ulster County Real Estate did not “flat line” this year.
Here is one of my properties that has been shown a lot these past few weeks.  I think it’s a perfect Victorian for someone looking for a move right in home!
Well, NOW it’s SPRING and it’s when I get VERY busy, so please let me know what I can do for you.  Many thanks, and hope all is well.The Hudson Valley Real Estate market usually slows down during the middle of winter and it’s when I take my two month vacation each year to Rio De Janerio.  One sure sign that the market is changing is that last year and this year my properties really had a lot of previews and I even sold homes these past two winters!  It’s an exciting sign of a changing Ulster County Real Estate market!
