Want to know what price houses are selling for in the towns that make up the Minisink Valley Central School District?  During the month of October there were 14 homes that sold within the towns that make up the District.  The selling prices on single family residential houses ranged from $90,000 to $433,000.  The median of the data available shows us that homes are selling at close to 95% of the listing price at the time of sale.  This tells us that homeowners are listing the houses that are selling at very close to market value.  If you are out there looking at homes this is important for you to know. This is also something you will not learn from the listing agent or the homeowner trying to sell his home on his own.

It is important for you as a Real Estate Buyer to determine the value of a property you are interested in.  Working with a Buyer's Representative gives you the upper hand in negotiations because they will prepare an analysis of the property you want to make an offer on using the most current data available.  They can help you to determine a realistic negotiating strategy and help avoid mistakenly offering more than a property will appraise for.  

The Minisink Valley Central School District encompasses 115 square miles and is one of the largest school districts in the southern tier of New York State. It is located in Orange County about 70 miles from New York City with New Jersey to the south and Pennsylvania to the west.
