The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Durham.
Greene County Market Context
Greene County is the northern Catskills: Catskill's 1800s Main Street row houses, Coxsackie and Athens river villages, and Windham and Hunter ski-area second homes and Tannersville cabins. Hunter Mountain, Windham Mountain, and NYC weekend buyers drive the mountaintop, while Coxsackie's two state prisons and county jobs in Catskill anchor the river side.
Greene effective rates are roughly 1.8-2.5% of full value, lower than the Southern Tier; mountaintop towns lean on second-home owners who pay full school tax with no STAR exemption.

How Senior Downsizing Works in Durham
Adult children selling a parent's Durham home through power of attorney is routine for Tony. The POA documents transfer with the deed paperwork. Multiple children can be involved or kept out — whatever suits your family. The proceeds go to the parent (or the parent's account, depending on how the POA is structured).
How a Cash Offer on a Durham House Is Actually Built
Every cash buyer, Tony included, starts from the same three numbers: what the house would sell for fully renovated, what it costs to get it there, and how long that takes. The offer is that finished value minus the repairs, minus the buyer's resale costs and margin. In practice that lands most cash offers somewhere around 70–85% of the renovated value, less repairs. The honest comparison is not against a renovated house's list price — it is against what you would actually net from a NY listing after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs.
| Line item | List with an agent | Sell to Tony |
|---|---|---|
| What the house would sell for fully renovated | $400,000 | $400,000 |
| Repairs a retail buyer's lender will demand | − $45,000 | Tony's problem |
| Agent commission (5–6%) | − $20,000 to $24,000 | $0 |
| Inspection credits, seller closing costs, concessions | − $8,000 to $12,000 | $0 |
| Taxes, insurance, mortgage, utilities while you wait (3–6 months) | − $9,000 to $15,000 | $0 |
| Time to cash in hand | 4 to 7 months | 7 to 14 days |
| What you actually walk away with | ≈ $305,000 to $318,000 | Tony's number, in full, on your date |
Whether Tony's number beats that listing net depends on the house. On a move-in-ready home in a hot NYmarket it usually will not, and Tony will tell you to list. On a house that needs work, has tenants, sits in an estate, or carries violations — the houses retail buyers cannot finance — it is often close, and the seven-day timeline is the difference. Call 1-908-768-4759, get the number, and compare it yourself.

Questions From Durham Sellers
What if my Durham house hasn't been updated in 30+ years?
That's most of Tony's purchases. Old kitchens, original bathrooms, decades-old carpet, knob-and-tube wiring — Tony prices condition into the cash offer. You don't fix anything.
Can I time the Durham sale to my assisted-living move-in date?
Yes. The closing date is set by you, not Tony. Most senior sellers pick a closing that lines up with their move into senior living so the proceeds are available when needed.
What about the furniture and belongings in the Durham house?
Take what's sentimental. Leave the rest. Tony's crew clears the house after closing. Most senior sellers find this is the single biggest stress relief — they don't have to sort through a lifetime of stuff.
What if I'm using a Medicaid spend-down strategy on the Durham sale?
Talk to your elder-law attorney first. Tony works alongside the attorney on the timing and structure of the sale to fit Medicaid planning needs.
