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. This week the news media was harping that the national existing home sales were down 6.1% over this time last year. OK, Great but what does that mean here in New Jersey???
The Media is asking
"When will the Rebound Come"
In a recent artical in Money Magazine they asked the question again. They gave some interesting advice that may or may not be good for your situation.
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.

To see last three weeks stats take a look at the other articles in the series:

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.
Good Advice For Any Home Seller
