New Providence New Jersey goes green!!

Only if you are talking about conservation issues.  As for home sales, October is shaping up to be a very slow month for New Providence Real Estate Sales.

To date we have seen just 1 homes transfer to their new owner.  The number of homes on the market has been stacking up for the past several months.  Things are starting to look pretty good for the home buyers.

New Providence NJ Real Estate has been effected along with the rest of the region by the credit issues facing the mortgage industry.   Things are starting to moderate but it is going to take time for all the issues to work there way out of the mortgage system.

Foreclosure Foreclosure, I want to buy a Real Estate Foreclosure.

 

I here this all the time, investors and would be investors are staying up way to late watching TV and thinking that just because they talk about great deals in real estate foreclosures on TV that these must be the best possible deals.  After all the banks must just want to give these places away to get the bad debt off of their books.  Sorry to say but that just is not reality.

There are plenty of great deals in real estate out there.  Many times the best and safest deals are not foreclosures at all.  I found one just last week in fact.  If I were not in the middle of a project of my own I would be very very tempted to purchase this home.  Many times the best deals are already listed…

Money Magazine has an article in there November 2007 Titled “You Own It. You Sell It Be your own real estate broker when you sell your house and you could save thousands. Here’s what it takes.”  by Josh Hyatt

 

They go on to talk about a family in Maryland who managed to sell their home back in 2004 FSBO, OK but 2004 was the height of the strongest sellers market in modern history. At that point anything would sell. Now it is 2007 and the same family thought they would try the FSBO path of selling a home again. They figured, replace the chandelier, and fluff up the towels and a buyer would magically appear at their front door. According to Money Magazine it has been over 2 months and they have not gotten one offer.

Mortgage Information  When it comes to purchasing a New Jersey home, don't be intimidated by the words "home mortgage". A mortgage is simply a loan made to help you finance a home.

Morris County home sellers, showing your home at it's best is critical to getting your home sold quickly and for a fair price.  Leave things undone and it is quite possible you may not get any home purchase offers at all.

1) It is extremely important to make certain that the first impression your home makes on a home buyer is the best impression your home can make. 2) Your home will never have more buyers look at it than the first three to four weeks of the listing. The reasons are simple: there are buyers out there who have seen everything available and for one reason or another, haven't bought. They are just waiting for something new to come on the market. 3) When that new property does hit the market, home buyers and Realtors both will scramble to… Read Full Post
