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!

A Rio postcard and how to pick a house Upstate...

As many of my clients and blog readers know, I take a two month trip to Rio each year in the middle of winter, (when the market is slowest).  This year's trip was really special.  I compete in Rio's Carnaval and parade in one of the 12 groups (samba schools) that fight to win each year.  The groups all have to write a new song, theme, and dance each year and they are judged on about 40 categories from four different judges who give from 5 to 10 points, (ten being highest).
This year our parade was almost PERFECT and we won!  We have not been champions since 2006 and it's pretty incredible to be on the winning team!
Here is the video... (the small group of dancers in the front at about nine minutes tell the story of what the parade will be).
Here is a photo album from the news...
 
Each year when I get back in March, things are starting to pick up and I become busy with clients looking for that perfect upstate home.  With so many different towns and communities it can really be a challenge to decide which place is right for you.  I have had plenty of clients tell me they want one type of property when we start out, and wind up with something completely different from what they thought they were looking for.  That is where I come in and help guide lost clients.
Here is a GREAT article that explains some choices...
Here is one of my favorite listings on the market right now that is in a very popular neighborhood and will probably not be on the market for too long!
 
Many thanks and think SPRING!

OK, here we go....Tim Hurley blog


OK, I am starting YET another blog space! I'd like to use this space to post about Real Estate, Hudson valley happenings, places I travel to, things I am working on, and even just a place to vent, (the Real Estate world has been known to be filled with interesting DRAMA)!

I work at the BEST Real Estate company in the Hudson Valley! Please check out my page and our listings...


Here is a super site for my city, Kingston, NY (NY's first capital)


I am also involved with a exciting new project here in Kingston. The Kingston Digital Corridor, is a project for Realtors and city planners to market and brand Kingston as, "Brooklyn on the Hudson". We are trying to let people know that Kingston is a city very much like Brooklyn, but much more affordable! Please take a look at the site and project...


Feel free to send me an email about any listings, or even if you just need to ask a question about Real Estate. It's really my passion and I love to share my experience and knowledge with people!

I am just getting back after being in Rio DeJanerio for six weeks. I try and post all my photos from being places on my Flickr page...


I also have a few video clips I may add to Flickr like these...








OK, that is good for today. What do you think? Send me an email or Facebook message and let me know! Many thanks, and hope all is well!
