If you are looking for a Putnam County NY Real Estate be sure to search the Putnam County NY MLS for all homes currently available.
Typically when you search a popular real estate web site you are searching a site that is 2-3 days behind. They do not get new uploaded listings right away so you are missing out on homes that may interest you. By searching the Westchester and Putnam County MLS on my site MikeTrinch.com you will be able to view listings before they appear on the papers or other Realtor web sites!
In addition you can sign up for my email update service, as soon as new listings and new prices that match your search criteria become available, you my system will automatically email you!

Is the housing market recovering? - YES...
Sales of new U.S. homes surged in April
Biggest gain in 14 years as median prices fell by record amount
Read the full article here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18842917/
I have been saying it for the past few months, it is picking up and picking up fast! My listings are getting offers, multiple offers, I am in contract on many homes right now. Buyers are tired of waiting (they have been waiting for over a year and 1/2) and are buying. In Jan 2007 I saw a huge increase in buyer activity, tons of calls and emails from prospective buyers inquiring about listings. I told my worried sellers that the market is not going to be bouncing back any time soon but the increase buyer traffic will help a lot to offset the price drops and market slowdown, and that is exactly what has happened.
I see some sellers finally realizing their overpriced home will not move and I also get some sellers who refuse to drop any more and wait it out, some did get lucky with the recent buyer activity, they held to their prices and they got pretty close. I have told my buyers that they better not wait too much longer and the prices we are seeing these days as asking prices, they are getting very close to asking because they have already dropped 10-15%. Some buyers are not listening and they learned the hard way by being out bid by others. You can't low ball any more. Overall I think both the buyers and sellers ready to make things work.
So sales are UP, prices are DOWN... that is A LOT better than sales down AND prices down... so it is a start... I predict it will slowly get better, this will be a great year and 2008 will be even better.
I know this article is talking about new homes, but I am seeing the same surge in existing/resale home sales.

Interest rates and home prices tend to move in opposite directions
Some people mistakenly believe buying a home is a bad idea when prices are up or when interest rates are high. In fact, either of those situations can be a great time to buy.
History shows that high interest rates dampen demand for homes. With fewer buyers available, sellers can't raise their prices--in fact, they may have to drop asking prices to get their homes sold. That's a good opportunity for buyers, who can always refinance when interest rates drop, as they eventually will.
Low interest rates, on the other hand, tend to bring buyers into the market, bidding home prices up. The low rates, however, make those higher prices more affordable for buyers.
