Spring market notes: what sold and why

Spring was busy. Forty-one of the homes I track sold between March and May, and the fastest went in under a week.

What they had in common

They were priced within five per cent of the final sale. They were photographed in good light, with a film. And they were ready to show on the first weekend, with no work left for the buyer to imagine.

Kingston was the busiest town again, with Saugerties close behind as buyers looked for more land for the money.
