Just added a comment on all of the township websites concerning the latest month’s activity in the local real estate marketplaces. Most townships showed an increase in activity and sales prices compared to the past twelve months averages. Most localities also have about 9 months worth of inventory, keeping the market in a buyer’s market status. West Windsor has only 5 months, Plainsboro 6 months. Hightstown on the other hand has 35 months supply of homes for the average sales cycle. Just click on the link on the right side of this page to access your community of interest.

July Market Conditions
Friday, August 7th, 2009Update on Progress
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009We have finished the update to the Cranbury, East Windsor, Ewing, Hamilton, and Hightstown website neighborhood pages. So a little over a third done. Interesting to note that Hamilton had about 250 fewer homes sold this last year (723 v. 972), while the sold prices remained almost constant.
Year End Statistics
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008Having looked at sales data in nine local townships, prices are up in 5 and down in 4. Numbers of sales have dropped significantly. Check out the blog entry at the tops of the local websites in the right hand column.
End of Year Updates
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008It is that time of year again. Stay tuned for the updates on what the real estate market did in Central New Jersey. We will be updating all the neighborhood information on the websites in the right hand column within the next couple of weeks. Expect the number of sales to go down about 20% and the prices to remain fairly constant from last years revisions.
Population Estimates
Thursday, July 31st, 2008Even though many are saying that New Jersey is losing people to the southern states, the Census Bureau has reported its estimate of July 1, 2007 statistics. All but three counties in New Jersey gained people rather than losing count. Most of the townships covered by this blog also gained. See links at right for individual numbers….
Website Updating
Saturday, January 19th, 2008We have completed the data entry for the Mercer county township sites, now it is on to the sites for Plainsboro and Cranbury. The only one that took a lot of time was the Robbinsville NJ Homes for Sale site as many of the agents don’t specify neighborhoods in the Foxmoor area, just list them as being in Foxmoor. After those two townships are complete, we will have to take pictures of the various neighborhoods in Princeton, Pennington, Hopewell and Ewing for the neighborhoods pages, in addition to trying to figure out who the builders of those developments were…
And don’t forget that the Packers are in that championship game tomorrow evening…
Real Estate Activity
Thursday, January 10th, 2008It seems that the amount of inquiries has picked up like I thought it would. So far this week the websites have generated 14 requests for information.
Yesterday, we visited two homes in Lawrenceville with a couple that wants to move some time this year. It appears they have out-grown their current abode.
I sent out just listed cards to the Ewing neighborhood that the new listing is in.
Just had a call from someone in Texas looking for an active adult community in New Jersey where they will allow someone just 52 years of age to live. Think I have found such a community in Burlington County.
Springtime in New Jersey
Monday, January 7th, 2008They are predicting almost record temperatures for the next few days. That would be higher than normal, not lower for you who are tracking the “climate change.”
Showed three homes in Robbinsville to new clients yesterday, people who had been doing their own searching on our Weidel site for a while and finally called to see some homes. No rush for them, as their lease runs out at the end of June.
Sent out the prospecting emails this morning, about 150 people currently receiving them.
We have an inspection from Hamilton township at the colonial in Groveville today between 1 and 3 pm. Good chance to sit in a vacant home for 2 hours with no internet connection. Seems there is an open permit from 2000 for the former owner, that the current owner is responsible for.
Preparing for a broker’s open house tomorrow in Ewing at the new listing. Bonnie is planning on serving Swedish meatballs and vodka rigatoni. Kinda your standard Swedish-Italian come-on for those agents who follow the “Feed them and they will come” mantra.
There Goes The Resolution…
Friday, January 4th, 2008Already I missed a day. Was here during the day, decided to wait til the end of the day, and then forgot…Oh, Well….
Put together the virtual tour for the Ewing listing yesterday. CLICK HERE for a VisualTour of this listing. Taking township pictures for the tour will lend me a hand llater when completing the lifestyle section of the township site. Still waiting on Realtor.com to pick up the new listing so that it can become a Showcase Home.
Had a request for information from a “northern” New Jersey resident wanting information on a single family home in East Windsor priced between $230,000 and $280,000. Such a home doesn’t exist in today’s market. Sent information on homes in Hamilton, Ewing, and Lawrenceville. Hopefully they will reply with some interest.
Happy Day after New Year’s Day
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008After a full day of rather meaningless college football games, it was back to work today.
I went to the new listing in Ewing and took pictures for the Valu-Vision and the Multiple Listing Services. They will also be used in the virtual tour and for Realtor.com.
Then it was on to the office to answer the phones for 3 hours while inputting the data into the Multiple Listing Service. All went well and was accomplished in time.
Delivered paperwork to the Association of Realtors, got pictures printed, and property profile sheets were placed in the new listing before 5 PM. In addition, I was able to prop up the for sale sign in front of the Lawrenceville home for sale.
