little egg harbor: First Time Home Buyers - Trust a Home Inspector
- 01/15/13 06:21 PM
First Time Home Buyers - Trust a Home Inspector
I realize the excitement, putting in an offer on your first home! After that offer is accepted, PLEASE let the home inspector make the calls!
Unless your Mom, Dad, brother, sister, cousin or best friend is a licensed home inspector in New Jersey, take their comments about a bad sheetrock taping job or a sloping plant bed and mention those concerns to your home inspector. If you, as a buyer, want your Dad or Mom to come in and check out the home that you're buying that's fine. It's exciting! But realize, … (55 comments)

little egg harbor: Post Sandy - Little Egg Harbor Marina Owners Still Have No Answers
- 01/13/13 05:55 AM
Little Egg Harbor home owners at the Jersey Shore are not the only ones frustrated by the strain of rebuilding after Super Storm Sandy.
Business owners are being put to the test. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) can not offer loans or grants to businesses, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) loans are not a bargain.
Take for example marina owners. Their season starts in less than 60 days. But the SBA doesn't consider docks and bulkheads equipment, so they are not covered for loan purposes.
Add to those difficulties, the new FEMA Advisory Base Flood Elevations (ABFL) and it leaves … (0 comments)

little egg harbor: Post Sandy - Homeowners in Little Egg Harbor at the Jersey Shore Are Frustrated
- 01/04/13 08:02 PM
It's been two months since Super Storm Sandy hit the Jersey Shore, and Little Egg Harbor homeowners are frustrated.
That was clear at a meeting last night attended by more than 900 Little Egg Harbor and Tuckerton residents and representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Administration and local officials.
Little Egg officials have projected that more than 5,000 homes were substantially damaged in the storm, and many of those residents remain displaced.
The standing room only crowd in the Pinelands High School Auditorium questioned the new FEMA Advisory Flood Plan Elevation maps for Little Egg Harbor, which suggest raising the base … (19 comments)

little egg harbor: THE JERSEY SHORE HOUSING MARKET...IT'S TOO EARLY SAY!
- 11/27/12 04:09 AM
THE JERSEY SHORE HOUSING MARKET...IT'S TOO EARLY TO SAY!
A recent blog by the The Murphy-Lee Team located in Forked River and Manahawkin stated that super-storm Sandy rendered no appreciative price changes in the homes for sale at the Jersey Shore.
My take on it...it's too early to tell.
I would and did tell my investors to jump now, fix the home (if necessary) and rent. Rental are in high demand.
But there's a drop in Jersey Shore homes available for sale. Just in Barnegat, Manahawkin, Little Egg Harbor and Tuckerton homes for sale dropped by 107 from October 28th, they … (5 comments)

The sights in Little Egg Harbor this morning had nothing to do with views of the Great Bay, or watching your backyard lagoon. In Little Egg Harbor, Thursday morning the tides had receded and the roadways filled with tow trucks and contractors. On the side of it's roads were memories lost...

Mystic Island and Osborn Island waterfront homes were devastated by the high water associated with the storm that brought down Jersey Shore landmarks like the Seaside Heights boardwalk and the georgous homes of Mantaloking.

The housing market in Little Egg Harbor slowed in 2011, and prices decreased. But the question most asked, "Have we hit bottom?" First let's look at the figures to date for the Little Egg Harbor Housing Market in 2011.
My read; We're ready for a rebound in real estatesales and prices in Little Egg Harbor, NJ.

- 11/13/11 01:06 AM
Little Egg Harbor’s Winding Run Development
The history of the Winding Run development in Little Egg Harbor at the Jersey Shore is an interesting one.
Kara Homes began construction at the height of the housing market. At times it seemed like the price point for these homes was increasing monthly. The sale price for these new homes topped out at almost a half million dollars.
The bottom fell out for Kara Homes, a New Jersey based development company in 2006, and they declared bankruptcy. That was the beginning of the housing market decline in southern Ocean County.

little egg harbor: Increasing Little Egg Harbor Home Prices-You're Kidding Right?
- 03/11/11 10:06 PM
Some interesting news from the Little Egg Harbor homes for sale report this morning. There were 6 Little Egg Harbor homes for sale that had price changes. That's not new in intself, but three of those Little Egg Harbor homes for sale actually upped the asking price! While I'd say the prices of homes sold in Little Egg Harbor seem to be stabilizing, I certainly don't see any reasons for increasing the asking price. None of these homes is listed as a short sale, so it's not a matter of a third party calling the shots. Two of the homes are … (14 comments)

little egg harbor: Homes for Sale in Little Egg Harbor - Little Egg Harbor NJ December 2010 Housing Market Report
- 01/07/11 08:51 AM
Homes for sale in Little Egg Harbor averaged 380 in December, 2010. While the median sold price last month increased over the November 2010 Little Egg Harbor Homes for Sale Report, those figures can be deceiving. All market reports are subject to interpretation, and this report does not reflect the style, size and location of the Little Egg Harbor homes sold. For example the median price of sold homes in Little Egg Harbor in December includes an older waterfront home that sold for $85,000, and at the high end a waterfront home built in 2004, which sold for $425,000.

little egg harbor: New Jersey's North-South Divide Gets Serious!
- 01/05/11 10:52 AM
As if there weren't enough reasons for New Jersey's great divide...the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles has just created another. Dating back to the 1600's north and south Jersey seemed separate. At that time it wasn't north and south Jersey, but east and west Jersey. Little Egg Harbor in southern Ocean County at the Jersey Shore was considered by most to the the eastern portion of west Jersey. East Jersey was primarily the north Jersey coast, running inland a few hundred miles. In my lifetime, north and south Jersey were defined by area codes. Before cell phones New Jersey had just two … (7 comments)
