- 09/29/11 03:38 AM
Savvy central New Jersey home owners know that although spring lawn care gets all the attention, fall is the make-it or break-it season for your lawn. “I’m already thinking about next year,” says John Dillon, who takes care of New York City’s Central Park. “The grass I grow this fall is what will be there next spring.” Fall lawn care is no walk in the park. It’s hard work, and Dillon (courtesy of houselogic.com) guides you through the four basic steps.

marchany home selling team: After Disasters, You May Get Help at Tax Time
- 09/16/11 10:20 AM
In recent months, central New Jersey home owners – like those all across the country – have been forced to flee their homes to escape tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and other natural catastrophes.

marchany home selling team: The Floods Are Gone, But Unpleasant Reminders Remain
- 09/14/11 12:43 PM
Although most central New Jersey home owners are well on the road to putting Tropical Storm Irene behind them, there are some truly unpleasant reminders of her presence lingering in many homes. And, according to houselogic.com, the worst part may be what you can't even see. The visible part – and it's bad enough in and of itself – is the greenish-black mold that many can see streaking across walls and spreading into the fabric of their clothes and furniture. But the real problem is hiding behind walls, under carpets, and in the air (where spores float around looking for new … (1 comments)

marchany home selling team: Need a Good Reason to Sell Today? Here are Five
- 09/07/11 01:55 PM
We're often asked by central New Jersey home owners, “Is it time to sell my home?” And, like the folks at KCM, we know that the answer to that question is based almost exclusively on your family's goals. If you're not in a crunch (you don’t need or want to move for a few years), it could make sense to wait for the housing industry to recover and prices to appreciate. But if you're ready to move within the next six to eighteen months, you'd likely do better to sell sooner rather than later. Here are five reasons why: Your house … (3 comments)

marchany home selling team: Some Really Good News, Post-Hurricane
- 08/31/11 12:35 PM
Good news for central New Jersey home owners. Like us, those cleaning up from flooding and downed trees caused by last weekend's natural disaster probably have filing an insurance claim at the forefront of their minds. Late Monday, Banking and Insurance Commissioner Thomas B. Considine ruled that Hurricane Irene didn’t generate hurricane-force winds in New Jersey — an important distinction since it means insurance companies should not apply so-called hurricane deductibles to the property damage caused by the storm. According to the Asbury Park (NJ) Press and houselogic.com, the ruling is likely to collectively save New Jersey home owners – and … (2 comments)

- 08/26/11 11:43 AM
Millions of children – including many whose parents are central New Jersey home owners – are heading off to college within the next few weeks. Things are different for college students these days – they typically take a variety of expensive personal possessions to the dorm with them. It can be reassuring to know that if those possessions are stolen – or lost in a fire – they may be (at least partially) covered by your home owner's policy. Ellen Melchionni, president of the New York Insurance Association, says, “Sophisticated electronics and expensive sports equipment are increasingly common on campuses around … (1 comments)
marchany home selling team: Do You Know the Appraiser's Role in Your Real Estate Transaction?
- 08/24/11 09:02 AM
Earlier this week, Keeping Current Matters hosted an article by appraisal industry leader Chip Wagner. His piece focused on an issue that we feel is essential to central New Jersey home owners (and prospective home owners!), in which he defined the role of the appraiser in today's real estate transaction. As the real estate market continues to rebound, Wagner explains, appraisers are challenged with finding comparable properties. Once possible comparable homes are identified, a lot of behind-the-scenes time is involved in identifying the actual “terms” of the sale. Along these lines, he notes that the transaction may have been an … (0 comments)

Are you a central New Jersey home owner who really wants the kitchen of their dreams? Do you dream about turning your master bath into a luxury spa? If so, you're not alone. But you're also probably facing a stark reality dictated by the nation's tenuous economy: Putting those dream renovation plans on hold in lieu of smaller changes. In a recent houselogic.com article, Danny Lipford, host of the nationally syndicated home-improvement radio show Homefront with Danny Lipford, said, “What’s on everyone’s minds is making the space feel a little better and function a little better until you can reach the … (1 comments)
marchany home selling team: Think Hard Before You Rent Your Home
- 08/18/11 11:53 AM
Are you among the many central New Jersey home owners who are considering renting your home rather than adjusting the sale price? Recently, Keeping Current Matters addressed this issue, which is steadily becoming larger and larger. Make note, thought: If you're in this position, and you don't want to become an educated investor, you could be headed for problems. Before you rent your home, we agree with KCM that you need to take three steps to ensure that you're undertaking the right course of action. First, have a consultation with an eviction attorney. If you rent your home, you assume that … (0 comments)

You know, like a lot of other central New Jersey home owners, there's nothing we love more than a great shoe store.

So we got a real kick recently when Keeping Current Matters posted a blog comparing the current real estate market to a shoe store. How many shoes would you buy if your nearby shoe store offered these perks: An almost endless selection of shoes in every size, color, and price range Shoes were discounted 30% or more Your credit card could finance … (1 comments)

marchany home selling team: Cut Your Home Insurance Bills – Without Cutting Corners (Part 2 of 2)
- 07/29/11 10:19 AM
Last time, we began a discussion about some interesting, and often unconsidered, ways for central New Jersey home owners to effectively cut their home insurance bill without cutting corners. Today, we conclude with some additional means for reducing the cost of your home insurance, without sacrificing those ever-essential safety concerns. It's generally agreed that where there’s smoke, there’s fire. According to the US Fire Administration, over 15,000 smoking-related home fires killed more than 600 people, injured at least 1,200, and caused nearly $400 million in property damage in recent years. As a result, most insurers offer nonsmokers a 15% discount on … (0 comments)
