hoboken properties: Are there still good condo deals in Hoboken? - 08/08/13 11:28 PM

Everyone wants a good deal, especially when it comes to real estate.  I do too!
What I've noticed throughout my 13 year career selling homes in Hoboken and the surrounding area is that the best deals are available when the least amount of people are buying or from properties that have relatively minor cosmetic issues. 
For example the last financial meltdown beginning in late summer 2008 launched what may be the best opportunity to purchase a home in the last 20-30 years, maybe more. 
Savvy buyers and investors were buying up properties but many would be home owners sat on … (1 comments)

Hoboken Condo Living Close to the PATH
By Edward Perez
 
 
 

 
 
One of the great benefits of living in Hoboken is that we are so close to Manhattan and that we're connected to the city by 2 ferry locations, the NJ \Transit bus to Port Authority on 42nd St & 8th Ave and the PATH trains to the World Trade Center and up to 33rd St.
 
Buyers looking for a new condo to purchase often want to look for homes that are a short walking distance to the PATH trains.  With the Hoboken PATH station … (0 comments)

hoboken properties: The Hoboken Condo market Update for February 2012 - 03/15/12 03:34 AM
The Hoboken condo market has made some significant moves, many may be in your favor.
Personally, I have been able to get 13 properties into contract during the first two months of this year.  Although the market has been very competitive as of late, most of my buyers have been able to secure the homes that they had targeted as their first choice!  I'm excited to be able to get many of them into their first homes and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship :)
First, there's something I have to get off of my chest.....

hoboken properties: Hoboken Meets Jersey City - 11/12/11 08:29 AM

Hello Jersey City, I'm Hoboken.  Nice to meet you!
This is a great photo showing where Hoboken and Downtown Jersey City border each other.  Photo is taken from the Hudson Tea Building with 13th & Washington St., Hoboken in the foreground.
 
It's also a good perspective showing Hoboken with its abundant lower-rise buildings, many of which date back to the late 1800's, and the Newport section of downtown Jersey City with its newer high-rise buildings.
 
Both are very nice places to live.  Lots of really great condos with easy access to NYC.

hoboken properties: The Holidays are Coming… Should I Wait to Sell My Hoboken Condo? - 10/25/11 01:52 PM
I'm often asked.... “Eddie, with the holidays quickly approaching, should I wait until January to put my Hoboken cond The short answer is Maybe...     
To help answer the question properly, I typically assess your goals and timing. I then perform a "Real Estate Timing Analysis" and a "Financial Risk Analysis". Both of these are important tools we use to help identify what may be best for you. Better yet, they can often help save you a lot of money.
On a purely strategic aspect, here are my thoughts on why not waiting may be a good decision for you:

hoboken properties: Hoboken "Kiddie Condos" - Some Things to Consider When Parents Invest with Their Children - 06/03/11 03:55 PM
More and more buyers are teaming up with Mom and Dad to help alleviate some of the challenges of buying a condo in today's market. 
(Where were you, Mom and Dad, when I was buying my first home?...) 
Mortgage pro Ted Schirm with Investors Savings Bank states, "Securing financing for a Hoboken condo has become more challenging since banks have tightened their lending standards. Additionally, when parents are investing with or for their children and wish to obtain the best mortgage rates, many lenders are seeking substantial down payments, typically 25% of the purchase price or more."
