Ridgewood New Jersey Home Sales - September Report
This month's Ridgewood Real Estate report may not look great when comparing August to September.  However, the numbers look much better when comparing year-over-year stats which are probably more of an "apples to apples" comparison - as they take seasonal patterns into account.  For instance, Days-on-Market stats look pretty bad when comparing August of 2008 to September of 2008.  However, when you compare September 2007 (homes took 68 days on average to sell) to September of 2008 (homes took 63 days on average to sell) you see that the numbers have actually improved. … (11 comments)

ridgewood nj real estate: 4 Keys to a Great Client Appreciation Party + A Secret Weapon - 08/02/08 02:53 PM
The best move I made in my Ridgewood Real Estate career was deciding from the start that I would only work with folks that I thought were honest, decent, nice people. I lost a few deals over the years because I deselected some clients and we've recently passed on hiring some Ridgewood agents that would have made our firm a lot of money. But, in the end, choosing only to work with good people makes for a much better quality of life. Which brings me to the first key to a great client appreciation party...

ridgewood nj real estate: Ridgewood Real Estate: Top 10 Reasons to Relocate to Ridgewood NJ - 03/26/08 01:25 AM
1.       Ridgewood is the best place in NJ to raise a family.
I say this is because Ridgewood is unique in that it is one of the few affluent towns where residents still get to know their neighbors and really feel a sense of community.  Many other affluent towns are filled with huge McMansions set on large lots where you barely see your neighbors - much less get to know them.  For example, within a week of moving to Ridgewood a neighbor planned a BBQ to introduce us to other neighbors and took note of the ages of our children and … (0 comments)

ridgewood nj real estate: Ridgewood School Funding Part III - Why the Rush to Pass the New Funding Formula? - 12/30/07 02:50 AM
Based on Trenton's proposed new funding formula, Ridgewood Schools are slated for a 10% increase in state aid or about $365,000.  Sounds good, right? 
Maybe not...
According to Ridgewood Board of Education member Sheila Brogan, $290,000 of the $365,000 in aid would be used for direct tax relief NOT for funding new programs or to offset increased costs for Ridgewood special education programs, health insurance premium increases, or increased costs for heating Ridgewood schools.
This new funding formula is complex and it will take some time for the public and the legislature to fully understand its impact.  However, the details of the plan … (0 comments)
