Insane housing prices, private clubs and Zimmerman gowns? The Hudson Valley is starting to look a lot more like the Hamptons.
Accelerated by the pandemic and the new realities of hybrid work, a fresh crop of buyers — and new luxury developments catering to them — are flocking to the region, attracted by its unique blend of countryside escape with culturally rich downtown centers.
Sales prices in Ulster County — home to popular Hudson Valley destinations like Kingston, Woodstock and Stone Ridge — have risen to 24% in 2021, the highest increase of any county in the state, according to data from Corcoran Country Living.
Even still, the current average sales price of $461,000 is a far cry from the Hamptons’ $3.17 million.
