Tivoli NY Real Estate - Just Sold 9 Elizabeth Drive unit 57D listed and sold by Jennifer Fivelsdal of JFIVE Homes Realty LLC on January 18th.

This was a 2 bedroom end unit on the first floor.  The unit came with an assigned garage  and an enclosed porch facing the woods.

The nice thing about this complex is that it is within walking distance to the center of the village where you will find several restaurants.

Easy walk down to the Hudson River or The Clermont State Park.

The buyer was delighted to find this nice unit. And sellers

happy to find their next home.

Thinking of Selling your home in Tivoli or the Mid Hudson area, then give me a call.

Judi Barret made a great point about pricing a home right to get it sold.  Yes,  just staging it won't do the trick.

With high inventory in many areas, pricing is key to achieving your goal of getting your home sold.

Mr. or Ms. Home seller, don't haggle over a few thousand dollars as this could cost you more in the long run.

We are approaching the winter season and you have your home on the market. By now it has sat for months. Or, maybe you have moved on and the house is now sitting vacant.

Here in the Northeast you are beginning to think of the bills that come with the weather, heating costs, snow removal and possible cleanup from snow or ice damage to your trees and landscaping. These costs do add up.

So here comes Mr. or Ms. Buyer looking to get into their first home before year end, but you just have to get those few extra thousand dollars. Negotiation has stalled; with many similar homes on the market another seller is going to do the math and figure out that it is better to let their home go at what the buyer is willing to pay rather than to sit around and spend thousands of dollars this winter

Mr. or Ms. Home seller, don't haggle over a few thousand dollars as this could cost you more in the long run.

Seller Do you have an environmental issue? fix it before listing your home for sale

I ran into this issue twice in the last 2 months.  Sellers listing properties with potential environmental issues.

One of the major concern is a buried oil tank.  To properly abandon the tank you need paperwork showing that the work was done correctly.  Telling a buyer you filled it with sand, is not good enough.  What if there was a leak in the tank and the ground was contaminated?   Don't expect a buyer to take on this responsibility, cleanup can be extremely expensive.

What a buyer's agent need to keep in mind is that once the closing occurs the buyer will own the problem. Sellers and seller's agents you too are obligated to disclosure any issues you might be aware of.

It is also important to look at the history of the property.  If it was a farm at one time did the owner maintain his own gas pump? A very common practice in some rural communities.  Sometimes it is very obvious because there is a remnant of a pump.  A mixed use property should also have you asking questions too.  I have seen cases where the homeowner lived on the property but the property was also a place of business, you need to know what type of business.  Yes the history of a property can raise some  red flags.

It might be a good idea for homeowners with buried tanks  to review the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) Homeowner's Guide for underground heating oil tank

By the way in both cases my buyers walked, it was just too risky.  With that being said, if you have a buried tank that is not leaking that is an easy fix.

Sellers it makes perfect sense to fix your environment problem before listing your home for sale.  if you failed to do so. it will cost you.
