Hello,
I have a house currently on the market in Poughkeesie, NY. Poughkeepsie is the last station on the Metro North. The train station is about 12 mins from my house. Pok is about 65 miles from NYC.
Does this train of thought sound logical?
As gas price goes up, more people would want to take train. (NYT had an article and also parking lots at the train stations are overflowing these days). As my house is not too far from a train station, it will hold/increase in value more than similar house (with similar school districts) that are farther from train stations. The distance from the train or tube station used to be a factor in London suburbs but there, it was walking distance. Here it is driving.
Much thanks
