Here's the rumor that just never seems to go away; building a custom home is often regarded as a complicated and daunting prospect, fraught with missed deadlines, financing difficulties and unsavory construction types. Ahhhh! Certainly not for the faint of heart or the inexperienced, much less the first-time home buyer! It doesn't have to be that way!

Your home building story doesn’t have to read like an allegory. With the proper guidance it can read more like a fairy tale.

From identifying a piece of unimproved land, to navigating the gulag of Board of Health approvals and zoning requirements, to finding an architect, interviewing builders,

Every year my best friend comes up from New Jersey and we spend a fall weekend in Hudson, NY. We check out the foliage, we shop, we dine (this is the back of his head from a couple of years ago...), we check out the Hudson Real Estate offerings (something we've been doing for fun since we were in college - real estate dorks from the start) we have a grand old time.

This year we wanted to spend the night so that the fun could go on and on. Guess what? No dice. Everywhere I called was booked for the holiday weekend and didn't have two rooms for us to occupy. Ugh. This makes me regret not buying a piece of Hudson real estate years ago,  even more than I did before! So we're going to just spend the day. 

Not being able to get a room made me think

 Three Great Hudson River Lifestyle Properties

I live in a 130 year old home on the Hudson River and wouldn’t trade it for any place on Earth, (even Ipanema)!  When I’m not out selling Hudson Valley homes, I’m usually home taking pictures of all the things I see each day on the Hudson.  I'm on the Ulster County side which faces east and gets incredible sun and moon rises, (my cell phone is filled with pictures of them).  During low tide (a lot of people don’t know the Hudson is a tidal waterway) I can walk out almost to the shipping channel.

There are three properties that have recently come up for sale on the river. I've been in all 3!  Hudson River properties are rare and usually sell fast so as soon as they're available I see them!

When you're considering building and looking at land for sale in the Hudson Valley, the town of New Paltz might not be top of mind. New Paltz is a very established town with lots of wonderful pre-existing homes for sale. But you might be surprised to know that it's not entirely built out. There is land for sale still in New Paltz. Ready to look right now, current listings are below? Need to learn more? Read more, 5 Reasons to Build in New Paltz.

5 Reasons to Build In New Paltz

#1. You Can Feel Comfortable About Re-Sale Value

Of course if you're building your dream home you plan on living there forever right? The reality is that every home was built by someone and they generally get re-sold. If you're going to invest a lot of

It's time to get out of the city. It happens to the best of us. The urge really seems to hit people this time of year when it gets, how shall we put it? SMELLY! But are you a village person or a "hickster"*? If you're new to country life this might help you get your bearings. Village life is probably best for you if: 

#1. You Consider A Walk Down The Street A Social Event 

If running into a friend or acquaintance on the street warms the cockles of your heart, you're a village person. When you live in a Hudson Valley village this happens constantly. As soon as you move into the village you will meet people. Within one month you'll have the same number of friends it

I love buying Art by Hudson Valley Artists. Let's be honest, I love buying Art! Whenever I get into a discussion about what I spend my money on (which happens far more often than you'd think, and usually directly follows someone skeptically giving my outfit du jour an incredulous look) I answer, "Art, Theatre Tickets, and renovating my "ranchie-ranch". I like to feel connected to the artists I buy somehow. I really like buying art by people I have a shared experience with, sometimes it's just a shared geography (I feel the same about my literature). For the past ten years all the Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty offices have been a "Gallery at Work". We have invited local artists to hang their pieces in our offices, hosted openings for them,

It feels like summer! In the depths of winter we dream of these types of days; filled with Hudson Valley adventures - riding your bike on a rail trail, boating the hudson, hiking the Catskills' peaks, easing your way into a crystal clear swimming hole - and nights with just enough chill in the air to require a cozy sweatshirt, a firepit, and a grown-up beverage. YAAAAAAYYYY!

Here's a little secret, as I daydream about this kind of thing while I load groceries into my car in a slush covered parking lot in February, the image of the house where I'm relaxing isn't really MY HOUSE. Don't get me wrong, I love my "ranchie-ranch", there are lots of things to recommend it, but daydreams are for ideals. In my summertime fantasies I imagine myself

Are You Right For Country Condominium Living?

When you think of moving to the Hudson Valley - packing up the contents of your teensie weensie apartment further Downstate or moving from a place that maybe doesn't have quite the same lifestyle advantages of the great Hudson Valley, what do you picture? Do you picture a farmhouse with cool antique details that you'll highlight with some modern decor? Do you picture an ultra-modern, green-built, square-shaped house with no neighbors in sight? Do you picture a little cottage by a stream that's just the right size for you, your significant other and that puppy you really want? You're not alone! Many of our buyers picture this. But let's do a little exercise....

Question #1: Do you think this

Farmhouse on acre after acre with Hudson River frontage! That's the ultimate dream right? They are fewer and more far between than you might imagine. But we have one! On 57 acres, which is kind of unheard of on the river at this price range. This is my "Pick of the Week". Great original features, wide board floors, authentic antique farmhouse wallpaper, a BUNGALOW where you can stash your guests, and of course, the views, views, views! Here's the video:

It's in Ulster Park which unless you're from Ulster County you may not have heard of. Ulster Park is about 12/15 minutes out of Kingston, NY which has been touted as the new Brooklyn. What Hudson Valley town hasn't right? I think that in the case of Kingston the touters might have it
