Simple, clean, uncluttered, with an open floor plan and plank floors, this farmhouse about 5 miles east of Woodstock looks a-okay by us, but would we consider buying a <2,000 square foot property for nearly $400,000? Probably not, until we consider that it also includes 5.5 acres of land situated in some pretty countryside. Still, you might be able to find something comparable for about half the price if you head a bit more north and west. And that makes us wonder about the future of real estate prices in the Hudson Valley/Catskills. As people head further into the Catskills to find bucolic landscapes and bargain prices, what will happen to places like Woodstock? Will the prices drop? Will they level off? We’re certainly not real estate prognosticators. We’ll leave that to the experts to suss out. Interesting questions to ponder, nonetheless. Meanwhile, here’s something to look at while you predict the future.
