A Run on the Catskills

The house for sale in the mid-$200,000s in the Catskill Mountains was a cutie, no doubt about it. A midcentury shingled cottage just shy of 1,000 square feet, it had a freshly renovated interior with a vaulted ceiling. Two tiny bedrooms flanked a bathroom with double sinks and fashionable tile. The real estate pheromones wafting from this property were so powerful that eight days after it appeared on the market in mid-May, it had received nine offers. All exceeded the list price, and about half were in cash. Two came from potential buyers who hadn’t even set foot inside the home. The winning bid was $50,000 over the asking price.

The Catskils has become a woke place. Resorts that used to cater to Jews from NYC, think Dirty Dancing, has been replaced by hipsters and so called artists. New Paltz feels like East Berkeley.
