The New York State Association of Realtors believes that buyer demand will remain strong and supply short for homes in the Hudson Valley, according to the Hudson Valley Post.

Home prices have steadily increased in the area since early last summer when authorities lifted restrictions on real estate showings. Continued demand and short supply means pricing will likely continue to increase.
