hoboken homes for sale: Will Your Hoboken Home be Waiting in Line to Sell?
- 01/10/12 10:44 AM
Don't you hate it when people cut in line? Not only is it very annoying, it makes you have to wait longer to take care of your business or to get to where you're going next. Hoboken homes for sale are in a competitive line, with the home offering the best value in its category selling first. A price to value position, so to speak.
In theory, a home further back in the line (third or fourth position) would eventually sell once the better-valued homes (first and second place) have sold. Unfortunately, this is not the case. New listings are continuously … (0 comments)

- 12/23/11 01:59 PM

- 12/12/11 01:55 PM
That title may seem a little silly, but the way shoppers evaluate a prospective home never ceases to amaze me. There is nothing wrong with having a vision of your ideal home. In fact, having such a vision is a necessity. You need to know what kind of home you will be happy in. A workaholic with no family and a busy life would probably do best to buy a condominium with amenities like a building concierge that can receive packages and let the cable guy in, a pool or health club onsite to get daily exercise and an … (0 comments)
