Rare Delaware riverfront house just came to market

On the New York side of the Delaware River, there are only a few stretches in Sullivan County where riverfront houses don't either have State Route 97 between the house and river or just behind the house. One of those stretches is River Road, running north from Callicoon along the river. River Road is a…

My favorite deal — 5BR farmhouse, 25 acres, views, $349K

The price was just dropped on this renovated farmhouse on 25 acres to $349K, putting it at the top of my 'great deal' list. It's head scratching to me why this one hasn't sold. It's set back off of a quiet country road, with some nice fields and paddocks, has a great view and the…

Average sales price skyrockets in Oct. on upper end sales

I jus posted my monthly current market conditions report for Sullivan County real estate. For the past few months, my monthly report has been sort of boring, because there haven't been any dramatic moves. Since the beginning of the year, the same summary could be used for most months — sales volume down, median price…

Hunting season is open in Sullivan

It caught me a little by surprise that hunting seaon (deer rifle, the main hutning season) opened yesterday, Nov. 15th. It came a little earlier this year, usually opening the weekend before Thanksgiving. The deer rifle season runs through Dec. 7th.

Oct. current market conditions posted

I just posted my Current Market Conditions Report for Sullivan County Real Estate for October. Another mixed bag month, with sales volume for the latest 3 month period down from 2013, but an uptick in the median sales price. Interestingly, total 2014 Y-T-D sales volume is on par with 2013. How so, if year over…

Upper end showing signs of life

The mid-upper ($500K-$750K) and upper end ($750K+) of the market has been very sluggish here over the past few years. But it's starting to show some signs of life. In the past few months, there have been 3 sales at Chapin in the $1M top $3M range, and I've heard through the grapevine that the…

Thinking about a price cut? Do it now.

Fall is traditionally a strong selling season for second homes here in Sullivan County. It may seem counterinuitive, because most people think summer is the big selling season. Summer is the big looking season, but many of those summer shoppers don't decide to take the plunge until the fall — after the back to school…

Adorable cabin just came to market, $225K

Some houses just scream 'adorable', and this one is the curl up kitten of country cabins. It isn't large, just 875 above grade square feet, and given that there are 3 bedrooms, everything is 'cozy sized'. But there's a huge screened in porch that essentially is a summer living room. A bonus is a stream…

Prefab modern deal

There aren’t a lot of Dwell style prefab modern houses around, so it’s rare when one is on the resale market. It’s even rarer when one comes on at a great price. But that’s the case with this house near Hankins, north of Callicoon. The owners just slashed the price to $269K to move it…

Wanakink lakefront cottage drops to $195K

Sub-$200K lake houses with good lake frontage are few and far between, so took notice when the price was cut on this little gem at Wanaksink Lake to $195,000 (down from $219,000, and originally listed at $254K.) The house is small, 2BR/1BA, 920 sq. ft., and is on a small lake parcel (50' wide), so…

OMG – Barbeque at the Kristal Bowl in Callicoon

I was getting together with a couple of local foodie friends for dinner tonight, and they said "Let's go to the bowling alley." The bowling alley? For dinner? Yup. It's smokin' hot, and I mean that literally. Forget chicken wings and velveeta nachos. These folks are smoking up some GREAT barbeque. I had ribs, and…
