I get lots of calls for the rentals that I have listed and many are those that can afford to buy a home but are uncertain whether or not to buy now.  I have a very simple answer for those in queston,  with the current economic conditions and with everything being equal I recommend to buy and take advantage of the low interest rates and very reasonable property values.  Remember that over the life of a 30 year loan you may be saving tens of thousands of dollars as compared to when interest rates or property values are higher.  Ridgewood is a fantasitc area to invest in, having high quality schools and tons of things to offer.  If you are confused about the information / misinformation from the media feel free to contact me and I will see if I can shed some light on the local market.
