Here are the final numbers for April 2009 compiled using the Hudson County Multiple Listing Service.

Hoboken Condo Market Weekly Stats - 05/19/09 09:21 AM
We seem to be keeping about the same pace for contracts signed and for closings.  This indicates a market where the smart deals are being snapped up by savvy buyers but where the overall market is still rather tame.
What’s exciting are all the great deals out in the marketplace, the fantastic interest rates, the first time home buyers credit (expires end of this year) and the quality of many of the homes.  Anyway, here are the stats!
Weekly statistics 5/10/09- 5/17/09
11 condos went into contract last week, up just slightly from the 9 units from the last report.
4 condos closed last … (0 comments)

Is a Short Sale a Good Idea? - 05/15/09 11:17 AM
Are you thinking about selling your home? If the value of your home is less than the amount of your outstanding loan consider a Short Sale. For example, if your home is worth $250,000 but you have a loan of $260,000 then a short sale is a consideration. Obviously, if you do not have to sell your home, you could wait out the market and hope for a turnaround in real estate values.
However, if you do have to sell your home you basically have three options. First, you can bring cash to the table. In the example above you would sell … (0 comments)

Ideas for Choosing the Right Paint Color for Your Living Room - 05/08/09 10:25 AM

 

The best way to begin choosing the right paint color for your living room is to let the fabric in your living room lead the way. Fabric provides inspiration for a room’s color scheme. It’s also a good starting point since painting your living room is much easier and costs a lot less than to change furniture.
Mark or rip out pages in magazines with rooms that you like. This will become your decorating portfolio and will come in handy when its time to pick a mood and feel for your room.
You may even see a room with … (0 comments)

Hoboken Condo Market Weekly Stats - 05/05/09 01:34 PM
 
Great, some positive news.  The Commerce Department just reported that construction spending increased 0.3 percent in March, the best showing since a similar rise last September. Economists had expected spending to drop 1.5 percent for a sixth straight monthly decline. Meanwhile, the National Association of Realtors said its index of pending home sales rose 3.2 percent to 84.6 in March, the second monthly increase after it hit a record low in January. The pending sales index also is 1.1 percent above last year’s levels. Typically, there is a one- to two-month lag between a contract and a done deal, so the index … (0 comments)

Stop Throwing Away Your Money on Rent? - 05/01/09 09:18 AM
Buying a condo is one of the biggest and possibly best decisions you can make If you are looking to either rent or buy, here are some reasons that buying may work out better for you.
When you pay rent you are putting money into something that you cannot call your own. Every month you pay rent but once your lease is up, the apartment is no longer yours. Putting so much money towards an apartment is very similar to throwing money away. In the end, you do not get anything out of rent once the lease is done.
When you buy … (0 comments)
