July Market Conditions

Friday, August 7th, 2009

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.

Update on Progress

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

We 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, 2008

Having 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, 2008

It 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, 2008

Even 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, 2008

We 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…

Springtime in New Jersey

Monday, January 7th, 2008

They 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, 2008

Already 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.

The Tulips Are About To Sprout…

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

And with the tulips come the for sale signs.

Today is Broker’s Open in Ewing at our listing on Walker.

Thursday we will be getting a terrific new listing in East Windsor. Five year old home in a development right near the Peddie School Golf Course. It will probably be priced in the mid to upper $600s.

We have two active adult homes about to come on the market, one in Lawrenceville and the other in West Windsor. A condominium in East Windsor and also an East Windsor single family should also be ready to sprout signs.

We are still working on the condo in Plainsboro and the restored Victorian in Hamilton, so things have been active.

Active Adult Site Page Added

Friday, November 17th, 2006

This morning the quarterly newsletter from Seniors Real Estate Specialists arrived in the inbox.

Included was an article about the ten moves one can make to lessen the pain of taxes. I have included it as information on the New Jersey Active Adult Communities website.

Also someone visited our Plainsboro site, found the picture of the condo, clicked on it, went to the Weidel page we have, and clicked to request an appointment…these things do work.

We have a new property to market in Hamilton, because the sellers found us through the Hamilton NJ Homes for Sale site.
