GF home sales are up 29%; crave inventory
By Gordon Woodworth,
Chronicle News Editor
Home sales in the City of Glens Falls have jumped 29.3 percent so far this year.
There were 97 sales through July 31, up from 75 in the same period last year.
Thirty-three of the 97 homes sold for between $100,000 and $150,000; 85 were less than $200,000.
"People want to be in Glens Falls," said Julie Snyder of Realty USA. "They love the sidewalks, and they want to be able to walk downtown.
"The one drawback is the high taxes, but properties are going under contract very quickly, quicker than normal. They want the neighborhood schools, and to be close to downtown activities."
Ms. Snyder said she's sold 14 houses in Glens Falls this year, and another pending.
"Houses are moving better in Glens Falls than they ever have in my 24 years in the business," said Pat Seelye, partner/owner of Remax Peak Performers.
He said that this past spring, he had lined up six appointments to show homes to an interested buyer, "and two days later, five out of the six had already sold."
