Rave of the day — When some roads point North ??? Where are you heading ?

It seems these days that people are feeling the pressure of the housing bubble, yes I call it the housing bubble due to the rapid growth and escalating prices and real estate tax’s associate with new construction townhomes, its been all uphill for the last few years. Way too many people have been priced out and the GAP is not Bridge-able 🙂

Every time I meet with a potential buyer the talk is – we are looking at places that are 1-1.5 hours away on Metro North, the price of a home is in the 300k range where as a (co-op) 1 bedroom barely 800 sq feet cost more in the inner city. The commute on the over crowded MTA sometimes takes 45 minutes – 1 Hour depending on where you are starting from , so why not get the house, the neighborhood the schools and a comfortable commute……to boot.

Westchester, River – towns are an all time favorite except for the steep tax’s – and unless you have a few children its hard to justify the yearly nut ..

Some are looking even further – Kingston, Peekskill , New Paltz, New Windsor – all great locations with a hint of urban-icity and a whole lotta house. Why not ? Fresh clean air, good schools, and a smooth commute..come home to a lil bit o county and enjoy your down time with your family the way its meant to be.

Todays NY Times confirms the talk on the street – here’s the link ..enjoy the read and let’s talk ..
