cranford nj homes for sale: Cranford NJ Housing Market Stats - 05/26/10 09:41 AM
In our last look at Cranford NJ Real Estate at the end of March, I predicted that the 2nd Quarter Sales to "exceed" the 1st quarter sales. Seasonally, this is almost always the case, but with the first time home buyer tax credit in place through April 30, combined with historically low interest rates, and favorable pricing I expected an even greater surge in market activity.
As we complete the 2nd month of the quarter, it is quite apparent that the 2nd Quarter of 2010 will show a sizable spike in sales activity. In the entire 1st quarter, there were 29 closed sales … (0 comments)

cranford nj homes for sale: Cranford NJ Real Estate Market News....What's Happening Out There??? - 09/16/09 07:54 AM
Cranford NJ Real Estate Market News..."What's Happening Out There?"
  With all of the news media reports about the ‘national' economy, and the ‘national' real estate market, it is very difficult to decipher exactly what that means for towns like Cranford. There really is no such thing as a "national" real estate market, as people who purchase homes in a community often work in that community, or within commuting distance. This means that they earn money locally, and usually spend that money locally.  The national media often reports on national statistics, and while they can be helpful to uncover trends in the … (0 comments)

cranford nj homes for sale: Cranford NJ Homes for Sale - 04/23/09 07:26 AM
As I shared in my blog last week, the biggest factor affecting the Cranford NJ Real Estate market right now is inventory. While plenty of homes are starting to go under contract and close, we currently have 98 homes on the market, which is about double what was for sale during the peak of the market in 2005. This means that buyers have tremendous choice, and sellers who price correctly will sell if they are the best looking property in that range. There are, unfortunately, a lot of homes on the market though that have been for sale for a long … (2 comments)

cranford nj homes for sale: The Cranford,Westfield Scotch Plains NJ Housing Climate - 11/19/08 09:07 AM
All of us have read the papers, seen the news reports, and lets face it, experienced a lot of the fear and uncertainty that a down economy can bring. I have heard from many of you who are scared about losing your job, scared about being able to save for your kids college, or even  just make the house payment.
How is all of this fear affecting our local real estate market? Well, in many different ways. We are helping many families avoid foreclosure by negotiating short sales with their lenders. We are helping more first time buyers than ever get … (0 comments)

cranford nj homes for sale: Cranford NJ Real Estate Market Report - November 2008 - 11/17/08 06:30 AM
Here are the raw numbers for Cranford, NJ Real Estate for the Month Ending October 31, 2008.
Average Sales Price: $468,384
Average Days on Market: 76
Average List to Sale Price Ratio: 97%
Closed Transactions: 19
The sales activity declined from prior months, as the financial news in September caused buyer activity to decline sharply due to uncertainty. There were still a good number of closings for the fall, but I anticipate this 4th quarter total to be much less than a year ago. Check back for year over year comparisons, as well as quarterly comparisons, so we can see where we are in the … (0 comments)

cranford nj homes for sale: Cranford NJ Homes for Sale Back on The Rise - 10/22/08 05:42 AM
While I will be publishing the actual numbers in about 2 weeks for Sept. and October, I wanted to give all of you readers a "heads up" on what's happening out there in the Cranford area.
For 2 years I've been telling you that our market has been holding fairly steady in terms of buyer activity, especially compared to such markets as South Florida and California. Well lately for the first time in a while we have seen a dropoff of homes going under contract. I attribute this primarily to the tightening credit standards, and few folks being able to qualify. … (0 comments)

cranford nj homes for sale: Know a Struggling Homeowner in Cranford? - 09/19/08 09:13 AM
As the financial markets continue their roller coaster today, I thought it would be appropriate to let all of you know that we at Team Carroll are more committed than ever to help you and those you know with their real estate needs. While we of course work with traditional purchase and listing transactions, we are focusing on helping "distressed" property owners now, and are in the process of getting even more specialized training in this area.
What does this mean?
It means that while many Realtors are running from listing homes that are in pre-foreclosure, or require a negotiation with their lender … (0 comments)

cranford nj homes for sale: Cranford NJ Real Estate Inventory Levels - 07/11/08 01:10 AM
Happy FRIDAY Cranford!!!
Just a quick observation about inventory levels in Cranford this morning. We have currently 84 homes listed for sale, including those in attorney review. A few months back we had close to 100 listings. This drop in inventory can be attributed to a few things. First, there has been a very active sales market lately in Cranford, thus selling off the properly priced homes quickly. Second, the summer is here, and less sellers seasonally list in the summer, as vacations and preparations for the following school year keep a lot of listings on the sidelines until fall.
Nonetheless, … (3 comments)

cranford nj homes for sale: Cranford NJ Real Estate Report - "What's Happening Out There??" - 07/05/08 03:02 AM
Here are the raw numbers for Cranford, NJ Real Estate for the Month Ending June 30, 2008.
Average Sales Price: $485,528
Average Days on Market: 44!!!
Average List to Sale Price Ratio: 95.6%
Closed Transactions: 23
There were 10 more closed transactions in June than in May, so as I predicted last month in the May report, the closed sales in June were higher, because the pending sales in May were higher
Check back at the end of next week for my deeper analysis of the numbers, and a yearly comparison, to see how the Cranford NJ market is faring compared to a year ago or … (0 comments)
