The Rebound in New Jersey Real Estate

Posted Jun 19, 2007 @ 3:08 pm, Viewed by 1037 Visitors, Read 1044 Times.

All Real Estate is local.  That is what we in the Real Estate profession know all to well.  Why is that important?  Almost every day the news media is talking about the Real Estate market, as if there were just one large national real estate market.  The reality is that there are thousands of Real Estate markets around the country.                            

                                         The Media is asking

               "When will the Rebound Come"

 

In a recent artical in Money Magazine they asked the question again.  Read the editoral to see what they had to say.

My review of what they had to say is that all things Real Estate are local.  What is going on in one market is not indicative of what is going on in another market. 

I decided to start posting the number of active homes on the market for the local towns that I service.  If you don't see a town that you are interested in and would like me to add it, please let me know and I will be happy to start following that town as well.

Inventory Numbers:

Homes Currently for Sale:    Days on Market   Average Price

June 19th 2007

159 Morristown                      77.1                       $490,979   

177 Morris Township              75.9                      $829,969   

75 Madison                           70.0                       $898,040

129 Chatham                         74.2                     $1,109,738  

43 Florham Park                    83.3                        $690,219

303 Parsippany                      70.3                        $370,885

107 Short Hills / Millburn        100.7                     $1,926,926  

128 Maplewood                       55.9                        $555,107  

125 South Orange                   70.1                        $735,333  

156 Livingston                         78.5                        $999,241   

Statistical data from GSMLS, the MLS of Morris, Essex & Union Counties.

A good sign that the market is starting to turn will be when the average number of days on market starts to fall.  So if the average days on the market starts to fall in a given area it is a very good sign that the local Real Estate market for that town is improving. 

Watch for more information on this as time goes by. 

I am on the lookout for the improving housing market.  I do believe it is just around the corner, but I will let the statistics tell the tail.

Contact me for full details on my reports.
