It Feels Like Spring!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams NJ Metro Group

At every party or social gathering I've been to in the past 4 months people are constantly asking me how the market is, assuming a gloom and doom scenario from me.  In my immediate market, Montclair/Glen Ridge in Essex Cty NJ it has been a bit softer and prices have declined, but there hasn't been a huge drop.  Everything slowed down over the holidays as it always does.  We really didn't know what to expect after.  But now that it's January, it's picking back up, as it always does.  We have some properties still getting multiple offers and selling over the asking price.  And they have not been underpriced.  There's a lot of young people out there that feel secure in their jobs, have good credit and down payments.  We're less than an hour from NJ with Midtown Direct trains and buses and so for now, we're doing pretty well.  I sure hope it continues........Stay tuned!!

It is nice to see young people who actually have a chance now that prices have come down a bit.  First time buyers are pure gold, and usually very pleasant to work with.
