Yes, they exist. Five digit homes in Ulster and Greene Counties for under $100k. And I’m not talking slightly under. I mean like starting at $50k. Of course these are all handyperson specials. Some of them are beautiful waterfront locations. That used to mean it was desirable but after Hurricane Irene swept through those areas, it’s actually a drawback to be near water. Oh well, did I mention how inexpensive these homes are?
Here’s the deal. I’m not posting listing broker links. You know why? Because I’m interested in seeing a few of these babies for myself. You can either contact me and I may swing up there with you as a buyer’s agent whilst checking it out for moi as well….or you can do your own research. Hint: You can do a Google search by image now.
The one above is my favorite (that I chose to actually share. Yeah, that’s right…I’m keeping a few for myself. MMMWWWWHHHAAAHHHAAA!!!!) It’s the ultimate farmhouse restoration project. Located in the village of Catskill within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Nearly a quarter of an acre on the main drag (as in small town main drag). Priced at $70k.
Under 1000 square feet on 0.8 acres in desirable Rosendale. I know “desirable” is realtor’s speak, but guess what? This realtor actually DOES lust after Rosendale! It says the owner is willing to consider all offers. Oh yeah, I almost forgot…The asking price? 49k.
Again, a small house, coming in at 720 square feet. This one sits on nearly 2 private acres in Accord with creek and waterfall! The 1938 home is in need of total rehab (as they all are) and is going up for auction. It will probably have to be all cash. $63,700
1953 Cape on .32 acres in Saugerties. 2 bedrooms in 855 square feet priced at $69,500.
There were more! In the $70-$99k price range. Ah, I’ll get to them tomorrow.

Come to Saugerties! I’m lonesome up here.
Although I really like Saugerties
Village the town has not been good to me. Back when we were living in Marbletown we got a stone counter from Nelson’s. Yada yada, we ended up taking them to small claims court. Small town court where the judge and lawyers all knew each other (and Nelson’s who had several cases against them)…then there was us city folk. It was a waste of time. So, we’ve been boycotting Saugerties ever since…even though we’ve visited a few times. Not that much of a boycott.

Hey Patrick,
What is “affordable”? It’s all relative. I can pass your name along to my broker if you want. He has MLS in Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange and Ulster.
