The image above probably does not fit with the title of this post .  However, I thought it captured how I have felt over the past couple of months which is good news specifically for for me - and for Ridgewood Real Estate in general.  My goal is to post a Ridgewood Real Estate report on a weekly basis.  However, you will notice that the time period covered here is 2 months.  The reason for the huge time lapse from the last report, to this one, is that Ridgewood Home sales have been very hot and there has literally been zero time to write this weekly report.  I have been extremely busy as an individual agent and my entire firm (Marron Gildea & Donohue) has experienced the same surge in activity and I am hearing the same from Realtors at other local firms.

This is good news for agents but it is also good news for Ridgewood Homeowners as well.  We are seeing more homes with multiple offers and some homes are selling very quickly.  These local indicators coupled with the positive news on the national real estate market seem to indicate that we have found a bottom and may have already started to turn back up.
