Can you guess which towns and villages in the Hudson Valley’s Dutchess County saw the greatest increase in home sales over the past year?
Sandi Park, of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, is a numbers cruncher as well as an associate real estate broker. In her monthly newsletter The Brick, she delivers news, market reports, and analytics in an easily digestible format.
In an end-of the-year edition of The Brick, Park provided a comprehensive analysis of the market momentum in Dutchess County, sourced from Mid Hudson Multiple Listing Service.
Here are the top 10 towns, looking at increased units sold over 2019.
1. Town of Stanford: 113%
2. Village of Red Hook: 92%
3. Town of Northeast: 50%
3. Village of Rhinebeck: 50%
3. Village of Tivoli: 50%
6. Town of Pawling: 46%
7. Town of Rhinebeck: 40%
8. Town of Amenia: 37%
9. Town of Pine Plains: 32%
10. Town of Clinton: 29%
According to Park, who maintains offices in LaGrangeville and Rhinebeck, “inventory availability and affordability are driving factors for increases/decreases in units sold.” For example, popular locations such as The Town of Unionvale, Town of Poughkeepsie, the Town and Village of Fishkill, and East Fishkill were “down the highest in units sold in Dutchess year over year, but not because there is no demand. This was directly tied to inventory squeeze in multiple price points versus 2019.”
