bergen county: Glen Rock, New Jersey - What is the Glen Rock? - 03/27/08 08:24 AM
If you ever find yourself driving through Glen Rock, New Jersey you might pass by a gigantic boulder in the middle of the town.  I know when I first drove by I thought to myself, "what is that doing there!?"  In fact, the famous "Glen Rock" has quite a history.  The town itself was settled around this enormous rock when it was left by a retreating glacier.  The 570-ton boulder is called Pamackapuka, or Stone from Heaven, by the Delaware Indians.  This rock served as a base for Indian signal fires and later as a trail marker for colonists.  This is … (1 comments)

bergen county: Over-priced or Under-priced? What's Your Market Like? - 03/25/08 11:58 AM
 
We all know that real estate markets are local and that the difference between one area of the country and another can be extremely large.  Below is a map that shows the areas that are the most over-priced and under-priced.  The red dots are the most over-priced areas and the black areas are the most under-priced areas.  The map shows that real estate is mostly over-priced in areas along the coast with the middle of the country remaining under-priced or priced correctly.  I find this map to be fascinating...What is your market like?

bergen county: In the Midst of a Real Estate Bubble? - 03/25/08 11:50 AM
With so much going on in the recent past about the declining real estate market, today I read an article about a chart created by a Yale economist.  He suggests that we are in the midst of a real estate bubble.  An index of U.S. home prices since 1890, it controls for factors that cause people to overestimate returns on home purchases: home improvements, increases in average house size, and inflation. In other words, it shows the real appreciation of a standard, unchanging house over time.  The chart shows that real estate has not always been a road to riches.  In … (4 comments)

bergen county: Don't Talk and Drive...Driving While Talking Becomes Primary Offense - 03/04/08 09:57 AM
We have always been told, don't drink and drive.  But on March 1st, in New Jersey, talking on a cell phone while driving became a primary offense.  Talking on a cell phone has a direct correlation to an increase in accidents with drivers having an almost 3% higher chance of getting in an accident while talking and driving.  The new law comes with a fine of $100 or more.  Be smart...don't let yourself become distracted while driving, use a hands-free device or pull off the road before talking on a cell phone.

bergen county: Heart Month Comes to a Close....My Two Cents - 02/28/08 11:42 AM
The American Heart Association's February Heart Month is almost over but it can't escape without me putting in my two cents!  With a tremendous increase in obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high cholesterol, Americans are eating themselves to death.  While many of us think that we are eating healthy, the fact is that we are most likely not.  I recommend switching to whole foods.  Whole foods are foods that are as close to their natural state as possible.  In other words, they have as little to no processing so they are not filled with preservatives like many other foods.  Examples … (1 comments)

bergen county: Foreclosure Bill Faces The Senate Tomorrow - 02/25/08 11:40 AM
Tomorrow, the Senate could vote on the Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008 and decide whether this bill aimed at helping homeowners avoid losing their homes can continue on its path towards approval.  The most important and controversial part of this bill is a provision that would allow judges the ability to reduce mortgage balances for at-risk borrowers to current market prices.  For example, a mortgage balance of $200,000 could be reduced to what the home would sell for on the open market.  Thus, saving the borrower hundreds of dollars a month in mortgage payments. 
What do you think?  Will it pass?  Should … (4 comments)
