Why Overprizing a Home Will Always Cost the Seller Money

I have evaluated thousands of homes in my 28 years in residential real estate. I’ve been involved in 500+ transactions. One truth has been proven over and over, leaving no doubt or wiggleroom: Overpricing costs sellers money. Be that $1,000, $50,000, or $500,000. It never serves the seller. Ever.

Low-Tax Olive Haven

Low-Tax Olive Haven

Set on 6.5 quiet acres with the Shawangunk Ridge rising to the east, this beautifully renovated farmhouse feels like the place you've been looking for. The chef's kitchen includes a center island for prep and conversation, a dining table ready for long Sunday breakfasts, game night, or entertaining guests. The heart of the home is the great room, where picture windows flood the space with light and a woodstove waits for the first cold snap. On the third floor, a light-filled loft becomes whatever you need: a yoga studio, a home gym, or the writing retreat you've always wanted. With views that make it hard to leave.

Picture the stretch from Houston to Spring, from West Broadway to Greene. Now imagine it's yours with no one exept you on it. No sound but what the land makes on its own — wind through trees, birds, insects, your footsteps on the forest floor. It’s a very specific quiet that only exists when density is measured in trees, not cars.

Biking in Minnewaska

I’m a hobby mountain biker with an e-bike, and I’m enjoying the heck out of every ride. No regrets. Just sheer, pure fun.

One of my frequently recurring rides goes like this: I start at the Upper Minnewaska Parking Lot. From there, it’s roughly three miles to Lake Awosting. They’re almost done constructing the path around the lake, and I’m tempted to ride it, but I promised myself not to spoil the experience until it officially opens.
