Well, I thought it was a buyers market.  That's what everyone keeps screaming.  Well to tell you the truth I have been having a fairly good year this year.  That was up until we hit the financial crisis then the $hit hit the fan, deals fell apart, buyers backed away yada yada yada.

I have to say though that there are some really great deals out there.  A few weeks ago I found one of them in fact.  It was a home over on Western Ave here in Morristown New Jersey.  This home was a Morristown Foreclosure and the deal looked good. 

I put my offer together and the responce was we already have offers.  Come back with your highest and best.  Highest and best, well I have not heard that since I had to tell REALTORS that on a house I sold in May over in West Orange.  Since we have been in the credit crunch I did not think I would be hearing that statment, but there it was.  I raised my offer to 15K over asking price and still did not get the house.  Go figure.

I have more about this over at my Morristown NJ Real Estate blog.
