Do Open Houses work? I say - YES! For creating urgency in new listings!

Comments:

I just came across an article in the Wall Street Journal on Why Open Houses Still Work. After reading the article and the comments that followed, I needed to add my two cents on this subject.

My experience has been that Sunday Open Houses along the New Jersey midtown direct trainlines DO work with a big BUT.

When a new listing comes on the market... let's say on a Tuesday. Then we have the Realtor Open House on Thursday, the blast email goes out to all of the realtors and then the data base of potential interested buyers on Friday, and of course its advertised on all of the sites that a consumer would think to search ( our local www.gsmls.com , www.realtor.com , www.trulia.com , www.zillow.com , www.nytimesonline.com and www.craigslist.com , plus www.sueadler.com of course .

Its the FIRST weekend of this HOT new listing and buyers ( yes, neighbors too, but who cares?) are excited to see it whether or not their realtor is available to take them. For this reason, the listing agent should send out a blast email to the other realtors asking them to forward this open house invitation to their buyers and tell them to just mention their name at the door. Busy realtors who dont have teams may not be available to show their buyers this great new listing on Sunday. Its the listing agents' job to make it EASY for buyers to see that new listing when it first comes out, becuase that is how the sense of urgency is created, which gets the best price possible for the seller, yes, even in this market!

This just happened on www.sueadler.com/15chetwynd , www.sueadler.com/29Maplewood , www.sueadler.com/454walton , www.sueadler.com/35kensington , www.sueadler.com/69Harding , www.sueadler.com/1burroughs , www.sueadler.com/7fairview in the past few months. All of these homes had multiple offers after the first weekend's open house.

Now here's where the "BUT" comes in....

April 1 Deadline for Essex County Property Tax Appeal is Fast Approaching! If you're selling your home in the next year and have high taxes, now is the time to act!

Its quite common to see homeowners and especially home sellers in Short Hills, Livingston, Maplewood, South Orange and other Essex County towns appealing their assessments these days since prices have come down. It can really have an impact on your sale if your taxes are too high. If you're thinking of selling your home in the next year, and your assessment is higher than you think it should be, then now is the time to apply for a tax appeal. If you miss the April 1st deadline you have to wait a whole year and that could affect your sale if your taxes are out of line.

I've lost my job. Now what?

I've lost my job. Now what?

February 4th, 2009 by Sue Adler
Categories: Short Sales & Foreclosures,

When job loss occurs, the effect on families can be absolutely traumatic. I feel I'm taking a risk by discussing this so openly because its such a sensitive, personal topic to so many people but I don't think I could live with myself unless I get this information out there to people who may need it.

If job loss has affected your family, its important that you examine the answers to these questions:

1. Check your monthly expenses against how much money you have in savings.

2. How many months can you live in your house at these current monthly expenses?

3. What is the likelihood of finding the same paying job? And to take that a step further, how long could it realistically take to find another job?

4. Have you called your mortgage company? As long as you can prove hardship, today banks are often modifying mortgage balances and mortgage interest rates. But is this the best long term solution for you?

Let's say that you bought your house 2 years ago for $1,000,000. You got a mortgage of $800,000. The market for your house bears about $850,000 now, and you have about 6 months left of monthly expenses without going into your retirement funds. If you wait 2-3 months to put your home on the market, then your risk is that you could be putting yourself in a distress situation if the market comes down further or you can't sell your house or both. At that point, without employment it will be hard to find a rental if you can't show proof of funds for the term of the lease. This is another reason waiting is not a good idea.

I can't stress enough how important it is to seek advice right away from a GOOD realtor or attorney you trust to advise you properly before you find yourself in this position. The biggest eye opener to me is how quickly things can change and most people don't realize this.

If you can no longer make your mortgage payments, get your house on the market right away and submit your financial hardship package to your bank. The LAST thing you want to do is let your house go into foreclosure. You can avoid this by selling during the "short sale" or "pre-foreclosure" period!

Here are the MAJOR differences between foreclosures and short sales. Differences that can greatly affect your future:

What a day! 3 open houses on our three new listings - Two are getting at least one offer, and we had 27-30 people at each one. All three of these homes are priced in the $500's. My team was also booked all weekend with buyers. What does all of this mean?

1. There has been so much pent up demand for great AFFORDABLE homes that the nice ones that are priced right are flying off the market.

2. The entry level market has now come down to a level where buyers can jump into the market. Of course the low interest rates have added the cherry on the top.

3. Even in a "buyer's market", you will always be able to re-sell a well priced home with close proximity to trains to NYC. This is what most buyers moving out from NYC are looking for.

4. Has this segment of the market hit bottom?

So where can you find these more affordable homes? Below are neighborhoods in each of the midtown direct trainline towns that are under a mile to the train.

South Orange - South of South Orange Ave, there are two neighborhoods that are easily walkable and you can find housing that won't break the bank. The area between Walton Rd and Wyoming Ave is one ( Conway Ct, Rynda, West End Rd, Lenox Ave to name a few streets) and the streets surrounding Seton Hall University are the other. North of South Orange Ave there are the Hart Dr ranch homes, and further north you can occasionally find a smaller home nestled amongst the larger ones off of Wyoming Ave. The same would be true of the Montrose Section.

Maplewood- Much of Maplewood fits the bill and that's why so many buyers move here from Park Slope, Brooklyn, and NYC. East of Valley Rd, across from Memorial Park, is very popular among the "walk to train" crowd. Here are two examples: www.sueadler.com/35Kensington and www.sueadler.com/36Madison Houses within a few blocks of Maplewood Village may be in the $500k-700k range, but they don't seem to come on the market very often. There are homes on Jefferson Ave and some of the surrounding streets such as Brookside Rd, have sold in the $500k's and 600's as well.

Millburn- The South Mountain Section and Wyoming Sections are the two largest neighborhoods that are "walk to train, town, Taylor Park, Wyoming Elem or South Mountain Elem, middle and high school ". There are also many small streets off of Millburn Ave that are close by as well.Homes range from the $400k's to the 800k's with a few exceptions in the South Mountain Section.In the Wyoming Section you can easily find homes in this range, but there are also more expensive homes over $1Million.

Mid century modern homes in New Jersey

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:49:02 -0600

Written by Deirdre Silberman, Sue Adler Team

We are fortunate enough to have found one of the very few modern Frank Lloyd Wright inspired homes on Sagamore Road in the Wyoming section of Millburn. We enjoy floor to ceiling windows with dramatic NYC skyline views, open and clean living spaces, walking distance to town and the Midtown direct train into NYC, and appreciative comments from visitors and anyone who's read Dwell Magazine. While some are not in love with modern design, we find freedom and think it's just down right cool! We love living in our tree house, or a sculpture of sorts with Eichler, Mondrian, and Calder inspirations throughout.

Luxury homes in Midtown Direct "walk to train" locations

If you work in NYC and need the direct train to Midtown New York Penn Station or Hoboken (where you can then take the PATH downtown to the financial district), here are the most convenient New Jersey neighborhoods where you can find the beautiful upscale homes:

Old Short Hills is the area north of the Short Hills train station off of Hobart Ave. Stewart Hartshorn originally developed this as the ideal community, and brought the train line from NYC into the magnificent rolling landscape of Short Hills, which was at the time, all countryside. Truly magnificent one of a kind homes off of quiet winding roads, its no wonder why Old Short Hills is such a sought-after area. A major attraction of Short Hills is that it is part of the Millburn School District, the highest rated school district in NJ. There are also private school options as well.
Northside Summit - The area north of Springfield Ave between Woodland Ave and the Whittredge Green area consists of some of the most stunning homes you've ever seen. ( I really didn't mean for that to rhyme!) From tudors to Victorians, to brick manor homes, you'll pay a hefty price tag, but if you can afford it, this is truly the best of all worlds. Summit also has a very highly rated school system. There are many renowned private schools in Summit as well.
Wyoming and Montrose Sections of South Orange were planned as a haven for wealthy New York businessmen looking for stylish large homes away from the city - the area's first commuters. The fact that the commute into Manhattan is only 25 minutes from South Orange is a big draw to commuters who aren't willing to sacrifice a short commute for their estate home. These homes of history between Ridgewood Rd and Wyoming Ave in the Wyoming Section, and between Scotland Rd and Grove Ave in the Montrose Section, have magnificent craftmanship, beautiful mature plantings, and have historic gas lights along their tree-lined streets. Prices are much less than Summit or Short Hills, but the taxes tend to be equal to ( and sometimes a little higher) what the taxes for the same house in Short Hills or Summit would be, so keep that in mind because home buyers normally compare by price range town to town, not size of home. Check out "Tulip Hill" circa 1906! Asking $1,095,000.

From Millburn Ave to Main Street in Chatham, I’m still home.

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 11:10:27 -0600

By Robin Benjamin, Sue Adler Team

When I moved to Chatham last year from Short Hills, it felt like I was moving to another country, yet it is only one town over! I was used to Millburn Ave, not Main Street! and I swear the leaves on the trees were a duller shade of green. After 25 years of living in Short Hills, I was "a woman without a neighborhood," homesick and lost.

What I've come to learn, is that the Summit, Chatham and the Short Hills areas are more closely connected than I ever realized. It just took a personal move to find out.

Why the change in attitude?

Recently I had opportunities to dine at two local Chatham restaurants; Gregorio's and Scalini Fedeli. Both are on Main St, within walking distance to everything in town, a convenience I love.

Gregorio's can get really busy, so be sure to get a reservation and bring your own wine which I always consider a plus. A few other local hot spots on Main Street and not to be missed; Seranade , fine dining to perfection. A Taste of Asia is Malaysian cuisine. For those who don't know what that is, it's a mix of Chinese and Thai food. Yum! Chatham of course has a Japanese restaurant. Mitsuba . I've been to my fair share of sushi places. This might be one my favorites of all times!

This house has ugly wallpaper and is overpriced. DO NOT BUY THIS HOUSE!

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:17:37 -0600

This week I attended the Inman News Global Connect Real Estate Conference in NYC, where Gary Vaynerchuk from the Wine Library's Keynote speech entertained us and inspired us.

I live in the Glenwood Section of Short Hills, so The Wine Library is around the corner from my house. Most Saturdays when I finish work, ( well, except today because its snowing), Peter and I go to for their weekly wine and cheese tastings.

After Gary Vaynerchuk's key note speech, I ran up to him during break and threw my arms around him even though we actually never met. I mean, he's my local wine guy and I'm his local realtor, right? Well, he knew me from my online presence, so that of course made my day since I think he's the most brilliant marketer around.

If you haven't listened to Gary before, he's famous for his wine library tv where he spits out wine that he thinks is awful ( yes, wine that is in his own store!) and has developed such a following for his brutal honesty. He thinks we should do this as Realtors.

Picture this - I preview a new listing at a realtor open house in Short Hills, then make a video stating how overpriced it is and how ugly the wall paper is. I tweet it out on twitter, blog it on my blog, do a blast it to the 7,000 people in my www.sueadler.com email database, and add it to my facebook profile. Then 2 days later one of my buyers wants to see it anyway- Hmmm, What are the chances of that homeowner ever letting let me in the door? - not to mention its a great way to make enemies of every listing agent along the midtown direct trainline towns.
I think what makes Gary so entertaining is the fantasy factor of what he does. I mean, I'm pretty good at coming out and just saying what I think to my clients, and doing it publically makes for great entertainment ( like winelibrary TV) , but I can't imagine pulling off what he gets away with and keeping a great reputation in the real estate world.

My must have New Years Gift for Outlook Users - XOBNI

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 14:16:36 -0600

My "must have" New Years Gift for Outlook Users - XOBNI

January 1st, 2009 by Sue Adler, Keller Williams Realty - www.SueAdler.com
Comments: 1 Comment »

About a year ago I discovered XOBNI, ( inbox spelled backwards) an awesome email organizing tool that makes the S-L-O-W "find" button on outlook a thing of the past.

Recently, the XOBNI people upgraded this tool to a whole new level. Click here to continue to read story and see why this is such a great tool!

1. You start typing in any words from an email our contact that you're looking for, and the options instantly pop up.

2. When you click on the email address of the person you're looking for, the following appears:

- Every conversation thread you've ever had with this person appears

- Any attachment that has ever been sent between the two of you is categorized ( For example, when I'm on the phone with a client who is referring to an inspection report, preapproval letter, contract or attorney letter, for example, I can find it in 2 seconds, open it from that window, and reply or forward it.)

- Everyone who has ever been a part of a conversation between the two of you appears.

- Their facebook and or linkedin profile appears! ( this is the totally cool new feature I was referring to!)

3. You can then check the analytics - when you've gotten the most emails from this person. For example, if I see that someone continuously emails me around 6 PM , I know that 6 PM is the best time to try to reach this person. That is great information for anyone who is in a career that involves alot of followup.

Why has XOBNI NOT taken off? I think I know the answer. They need to work on the marketiing of their product. When you sign up, it will ask you if you want to invite your friends to use it. Here's an example of a letter that they send. ( click letter to enlarge)
Instead of selling the benefits in the first paragraph, it tells your friend their "rank", and your friend will instantly think its spam and delete it, or send you an email back asking "Did you send this or is this spam?" They're afraid to download it.

As a busy realtor who gets hundreds of emails a day, great organizational systems are a crucial part of my business. I give xobni raving reviews! Oh, and did I mention that its free?!

Want to refinance, yet keep your home equity line of credit? Or get a bridge loan for your new home? Think again!

Trying To Make Sense of Today's Mortgage Guidelines for NJ Home Purchases and Refinances

Take the Fear Out of Mortgage Financing

by Drew McKenzie

Trying to make sense out of mortgage guidelines today can make your head hurt.

My advice is to avoid the aspirin, do not make assumptions, do NOT read the dramatic press. Interest rates are the lowest they've been in 3 years and its truly a buyer's market, so communicate your specific circumstances for a home purchase or refinance to your mortgage professional early in the process. There has never been a better opportunity!
A few recent changes with you to manage your expectations:

· Several banks now realize that they were overly enthusiastic about approving credit lines. As these banks try to reduce their risk exposure, some homeowners are getting notifications that their line of credit has been reduced or even cancelled. Banks are concerned about what your home is worth and about your ability to verify your income, credit and assets.

· Investors are very concerned about the future of certain industries and the future of the continuance of Bonus and Commission income. In the past, such income was averaged for 2 years for qualifications; don't assume the same is true today. Best to get this checked out BEFORE starting your home search.

· Buyers no longer have the option to have two mortgages at closing (i.e. 80/10/10 loan) to avoid paying Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) or avoiding a certain loan amount for lower rates. For mortgages of $500,000 or less (depending on the investor) and less than 20% down payment, guidelines now require PMI. Your mortgage application now needs approval by the Lender and the PMI provider.

· Mortgages greater than $500,000, with most Lenders, now require at least a 20% down payment.

· Bridge loans are extinct today. Investors are not allowing most borrowers to close on their new purchase without closing on the sale of their current home. This means either you get a larger mortgage if you have the down payment in the bank, or plan to close on the sale of your current home the same day as the purchase of your new property. Either way, you should sell your current home before purchasing another one. It makes you a stronger buyer in the seller's eyes too.

Renting your current home without selling it and buying another primary property is scrutinized unless you have at least 30% equity in the home you will lease.

· For refinancing, you need to have at least 20% equity today based on today's bank appraisal. There are now 40 year mortgages and Interest-Only payment loans, which could assist with lowering your monthly payments. Your lender can help you with your options. Keep in mind, the presence of a second mortgage or line of credit (and today's bank appraisal of your home) could impact or limit your options.

NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS & WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT....

There are many worthy borrowers and there are mortgage funds available today at very low interest rates (30 year fixed today at 5.5%)! There are guideline changes but they may or may not impact you directly! Don't assume or let the press intimidate you --- you could be a very worthy borrower and are in position to take advantage of this (housing) market and interest rates! Sue and her team sold 7 houses in November, and financing was not an issue.

Wall Street Journal article on "The Trophy Kids Go to Work" - Absolutely fascinating article that I'd love your opinions on.

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:05:56 -0500

The Trophy Kids,

Contributed By Robin Benjamin, Buyer Specialist of Sue Adler Team

Mom and dad, get ready. You're about to be blamed for something else.

The Millennial Generation. (Where did generations X,Y and Z go?)

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, "The Trophy Kids Grow Up: How the Millennial Generation Is Shaking Up the Workplace," kids born between 1980 and 2001 are entering the job market and causing all sorts of problems.

"Blame it on doting parents, teachers and coaches," the article states. "The Millennial's were raised with so much affirmation and positive reinforcement that they come into the workplace needy for more."

In our community of Millburn /Short Hills that can't be true. Can it?

As a mom who has lived here for 30 years, I know many kids who give back to the community, and whose hard work and balanced egos helped Millburn High School gain its #1 ranking in the recent September issue of NJ Monthly.

Ok, ok. Maybe on "one or two" occasions we hovered too much, and even gave them a trophy when they came in last. But according to a posting by Sue Shellenbarger, "Helicopter Parents: Beneficial or Detrimental?" we're not the only guilty ones. Apparently a number of historic well-known Presidents had parents who were worse than us.

So, there's still hope. And who knows? One of our Millburn/Short Hills kids may even be President some day, and we hovering "helicopter" moms might even get a little credit for getting them there.

If not, they still get a trophy, right?

Sue's Thoughts on Our NJ Real Estate Market

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 17:50:56 -0500

We're all in this together.

In these uncertain times, I'd like to share my thoughts and address concerns you may have about our local real estate market in Short Hills, Summit, Maplewood, Livingston, Chatham and surrounding NJ towns. I've included links to interesting articles that you may find helpful and of course I'm available if you'd like to discuss your own personal needs confidentially.

1. Foreclosures, and Pre-Foreclosures: There have been laws put in place to help people who need to sell with upside down mortgages. Three recent Real Estate laws that every homeowner, buyer or seller should be aware of

2. Life Goes On..... Our towns are the first really beautiful towns with excellent public schools off of the midtown direct train line into NYC, and Manhattanites who don't want to pay for private school, want a yard and some more space will still move out to the suburbs. We don't have an endless supply of inventory like other parts of the country, so even in tough times, there is still a demand for great houses in great locations (as long as they are priced competitively). Buying a home is a long term investment.

3. If you're currently renting, can put 20% or more down, have stellar credit, and a steady job, you're golden.

4. Move-Up Buyers are in a great position because if the market has dropped 10% in a given town, then the loss you're taking on the sell side will be less than what you're saving on the buy side.

5. Sell First. This way, if you're counting on a certain amount of equity from your current home, you won't have any surprises. For a long term investment, it may even make sense to rent out your current house and hold onto it as an investment. We can discuss your options.

6. Current Home Owners with ARM mortgages: You may want to call your mortgage company to discuss fixed r ate options.

7. I'm happy to send the pdfs for the following articles: "Taking The Mystery Out Of Credit", Top 10 Do's and "Don'ts During The Loan Process", and "How Good Credit Transfers Into Lower Scores" Yours to count on, Sue
