The following statistics were taken from the Ulster County Multiple Listing Service (MLS). These statistics include all single family homes sold in Ulster County that were listed on the Ulster County MLS. We will be comparing statistics for the full 2008 year with the previous year’s statistics.

The number of days a sold house was on the market from the time it was listed until the closing date, decreased by 2 days (about 1%) from 2007 to 2008, from 164 to 162.
The sale price to list price ratio decreased by a little more than 1% from 2007 to 2008, from 95.22% to 93.79%. That means that in 2008 the average single family home sold for about 6% less than the final listing price for that home.
