        <title>18 Cool Modern Homes For Sale In Ulster County, New York</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



You may visualize farm houses or old stone homes when you think about real estate in Ulster County, NY, and you wouldn't be far off the mark. However among the more traditional mountain retreats for sale, there are also stunning contemporaries, decked out in modern luxury.


Upstate living doesn't necessarily mean roughing it at the farm, as the following homes clearly demonstrate. For those that love modern architecture, we're excited to bring you 9 Super-Modern Homes (and a few bonus homes) in the Hudson Valley real estate market





Location: New Paltz, NY


A listing like this is EXTREMELY RARE. This is an almost new construction in an elevated private village, overlooking seasonal views of the Wallkill River and Shawangunk ridge below. This contemporary village tree house was designed for privacy, comfort, and relaxed easy living. While it's a technical 2 bedroom home, it does have a very large office room with a closet that makes it a fully functioning 3 bedroom, 3 full bath home. It's currently split into two equally impressive, large primary suites each with spacious knockout magazine-worthy ensuite bathrooms, nearly 20' ceilings, and private balconies. We're talking bedrooms with their own living rooms that can function as self contained mini apartments. One of the two suites could easily be carved into two rooms creating a workable 4 bedroom plan if desired. Some of the finer finishes include 3 spa like bathrooms each with German thermocouple rain showers, thermostatic controls, oversized dark metallic tile and floating console sinks. The kitchen comes equipped with modern maple cabinetry, soapstone counters and black stainless appliances. The open concept living/dining area offers a top of the line high efficiency fireplace/wood stove and accordian sliding door wall that opens up to the deck bringing the outside in. Hue outdoor lighting, pet/child safe fencing, and the 8 person hot tub make entertaining easy and fun.

Designed around a series of courtyards, Pinwheel House is all about the modulation of indoor and outdoor spaces. A series of partitions adjacent to the house – akin to the arms of a pinwheel – create pockets of space designed for different outdoor moments.

Ultimately intended as a relaxing retreat, Pinwheel House will feature two generous bedroom suites with luxurious bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows. Resting on a densely wooded lot, Pinwheel House is a single story, two-bed, two- bath home. A generous overhang wraps around much of the home, serving as a shield from the occasional rainstorm.

A generous open plan kitchen, living, and dining area with suites on either end enables get-togethers without sacrificing privacy. On either side of the central volume is a bedroom suite complete with access to a private patio, expansive closet spaces, and refined bathrooms designed for complete relaxation. A flat roof, modern fixtures, and polished concrete floors with radiant heating only add to the appeal of the design. The optional additions of an in-ground pool and lower pool deck would only bolster the feeling that this is a tranquil oasis. Other available additions include a one-bed, one-bath guest house and a carport.

Yes, the holidays are actually a great time to buy a home, contrary to popular belief.


Every spring and summer, the real estate market hits peak activity, and while there’s plenty of reasons to buy in the spring, if you’re a serious buyer looking for a good deal, you may want to consider taking up your search in November and December, near the holidays, when some real estate experts consider it to be one of the best times to buy a new home.


The holidays are such busy times, and here in upstate New York, it’s also a period of time where you don’t know exactly what type of weather Mother Nature will be supplying… doesn’t really sound like an opportune time to be house hunting, right? But if you’re a serious buyer and want to avoid competing against hoards of other springtime and summer buyers, tire-kickers and curious neighbors who are more likely to also get involved in the mix, then right now may be the best time for you to throw your hat in the ring and find your new home.


Still not convinced that giving up your holiday time to buy a home is worth it?


Let’s look at this a little further...


Less activity on the market means that buyers have more leverage to negotiate with sellers. Yes, the inventory in winter is usually considerably lower than in springtime real estate markets, however that doesn’t mean that a home that suits your wants and needs won’t come onto the market in the winter (there just may be less variety to choose from). Because there is generally less activity, you are less likely to run into extremely competitive multiple offer situations in the winter because less people are looking to buy at this time. Therefore, it can be easier for buyers to negotiate lower selling prices or negotiate higher seller concessions to ultimately get a better deal. If you are lucky enough to find a home come onto the market very close to an actual holiday and are able to jump on it and quickly make an offer, you stand a great chance of getting to the homeowners with an offer long before other potential buyers even resume their search after a holiday break


There’s a greater chance that the sellers are more motivated to sell their homes in winter months as well. Let’s face it, where we live in upstate New York, considering a move in the dead of winter is logistically not the most fun thing to think about (I’ve moved in the winter multiple times and can personally attest to this fact). In many cases, the people who are selling in winter these winter months tend to be more serious and are moving for a specific reason that may have them under a time-constraint; i.e. a job relocation or new addition to the family requiring more space. In these instances, if the seller needs to move on a strict time-line, they may be more willing to give on certain things during negotiations to make the sale happen.


There’s many factors that come together to determine mortgage and loan interest rates, but in the most general sense, the lessened demand for mortgages during the holiday season and winter months could result in better mortgage rates being offered by lenders. In all honesty though, interest rates in our area are still near record lows, with many local lenders offering mortgages with rates starting in the high 2 to mid 3 range at the current time, depending on the term length, which is pretty hard to beat. If you’re a buyer who is looking to finance a home in the Ulster County area, now just might be a good time while rates are still super-low


Buying a home in the holiday season could also benefit buyers with the potential for faster closings. When market activity lessens in this time period, many realtors, appraisers, inspectors, surveyors, lenders, and attorneys also see a bit of a slowdown in their schedules. For buyers, this has a two-fold benefit, because not only will your real estate related professionals be able to devote more one-on-one time with you than what they may have been able to in a hectic spring market, you may also find that they are able to push closings through a bit faster with the lighter workload.


And lastly, we can’t throw away the idea that people’s holiday spirit may come in the mix here a bit as well. The holidays are a time of giving, and you may just find that some people are more likely to give and negotiate a bit more during the holidays than during other times of the year.  


There are pros and cons to buying a home during the holiday season, and numerous variables can make every transaction different, but just because it’s the holiday season, doesn’t mean that your home search should take a backseat until spring.  


As they say, there’s no place like home for the holidays.


Let us help you settle into your new home this holiday season.

        <title>Home Values in Highland NY | MLS Sold Market Update</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Clients and customers often ask me how the market is doing. They also tend to ask about where home values are at today. Compared to 5-6 years ago, I’d of course say the market is down quite a bit. The good news however is that things are definitely improving. The Ulster County real estate market, Highland NY in particular, is just one of a handful of local markets to see a surge in buyer activity. In Taft Street realty’s latest market update, we wanted to share two recently sold homes in Ulster County NY to give you a better idea of what’s selling right now and where Highland NY home values are at this spring.


14 Cambridge Court


14 Cambridge Court Highland NY was the quintessential townhome. This 3 BDR, 2.5 BTH, 1,800 square foot home closed on May 8th, 2013 for $190,000. Situated on a nice elevated lot with fenced in rear yard, was scooped up rather quickly this spring. It was the perfect fit for someone looking for low maintenance living just 2-3 minutes from the bridge and less than 10 minutes from the NYS Thruway. With a relatively new roof, this townhome didn’t really need anything else but some new personal touches and a fresh coat of paint


6 Jonathan Court


6 Jonathan Court Highland NY had a great family vibe going for it Although just a quick 5 minutes to the bridge and shopping conveniences, this 4 BDR, 2 BTH, 2,400 square foot home also had a very quiet and peaceful setting. This home closed on May 9th, 2013 for $305,000. A town-maintained dead end road, Jonathan Court is a tiny street with some relatively larger two-story homes in great condition. Perfect for walking the dog or taking a stroll with children, the traffic is limited to those who live on the street making it safe, quiet and discreet. 6 Jonathan Court came with a serious landscape package, complete with over 30 sprinkler heads and beautiful trees and shrubs A blacktop driveway, two-car garage, central air, wood floors, front porch, back deck, the list goes on and on Needless to say, the buyer was extremely happy. Taft Street Realty secured this home for $10K less than the bank appraisal so we definitely scored on this one


Highland NY Real Estate For Sale


Commuting to and from work is a necessity for many and when looking for homes for sale, convenience to major roadways is one of the most important search criteria a buyer has on the list. Highland NY real estate offers all that and then some Whether you need to go north to Kingston on 9W, west to New Paltz NY on Route 299, south on the NY State Thruway, or maybe even east across the Hudson River into Poughkeepsie via the Mid-Hudson Bridge, no matter where your work takes you, Highland has convenient, quick access to all of these vital thoroughfares.
