Going Green in Madison NJ 07940

If you are talking about environmental issues only that is.  When it comes to real estate their are many home sellers in Madison New Jersey who have been seeing red this fall of 2007.

October was yet another slow month for home sellers in Madison NJ and the whole of Morris County New Jersey for that matter.  Just 9 homes transferred to new owners in Madison NJ in October.  We continue to see price reductions and some homes just plain being withdrawn from the market.

What does this all mean for that daring home buyer out their wanting to purchase a home but just unsure if the time is right?  As with other investments the time is right when the news media and everyone around you is saying the time is wrong.  The crowd is…

Chatham New Jersey 07928 Real Estate and Home Sales

October was yet another month with few home buyers shopping for homes in Chatham New Jersey.  This means that the buyers who were willing to buy were able to negotiate extra good deals on the homes that they purchased. 

Just like with any other product, fewer buyers means that those buyers who are still around get the great deals.  The buyers who sit on the sidelines and wait for the news media to tell them that everything is alright will wait until the Chatham NJ Real Estate Market has heated back up, and will have to pay considerably higher prices.

Here are the Chatham NJ Home transfers for October 2007

FSBO or Realtor

 

For Sale By Owner can you successfully sell your home on your own??

  Every year many Morris & Union County homeowners take on the challenge of selling their home without the help of a Professional Realtor, in Realtor speak they are FSBO’s. Is the challenge even worth taking on though?   According to NAR Statistics in 2006 while we were still in the hot sellers market 12% of home sellers decided to attempt to FSBO (For Sale By Owner) their home, that number was down for 20% in 1987. Why are the numbers falling off? There are many reasons but the most important reason is that a good Realtor really can get you more money.   Here is what the FSBO home sellers said themselves:  

Of the FSBO’s that actually sold the average…

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…

More New Townhomes For Morris Township New Jersey 07960

The Morris Township committee approved in a 3 - 1 vote last night approved a James Street zoning change that  effectively legalizes the construction of 92 to 106 townhomes on the site of the old and now vacant Verizon Wireless building.

Passage of the zone change allows the developer of the new construction project to approach the Morris Township planning board for hearings…
