Although Buyers Move Slowly, They Are Moving into the Pascack Valley
Buyers are more decisive in their approach to purchasing homes in the Pascack Valley, but once they find a home they love, they are making their move to purchase the home.  Although bidding wars are rare, well priced homes in wonderful condition are selling, and enticing Buyers to make offers.  Prices have adjusted significantly over the past 8 months, and mortgage rates have plummeted to record levels.  The union of low prices and low mortgage rates have enticed buyers to make their move and begin to purchase homes in the Pascack … (0 comments)

                                Internet Advertising the Key to Productive Pascack Valley Open House!
Although it was too late to place an advertisement in the local newspaper, one of my clients requested that we have an Open House this past Sunday, (also well known as Super Bowl Sunday).  I was a bit hesitant, since everyone had their minds on the Giants winning the Super Bowl ( and we ALL know how that turned out!), and since I was limited in advertising to the internet.  Well, Bless the Internet.  I had 7 groups of visitors to my beautiful new listing on Frederick Court in Park Ridge, … (0 comments)

                                               Productive Pricing in the Pascack Valley
Although many homes in the Pascack Valley are selling below asking price, the key to pricing is often appreciated by intelligent buyers.  I have recently had the experience with three of my beautiful listings, where each sold either at full asking price or over asking price, in this same market where many homes are sitting on the market.  The key is in pricing a home agressively, so that the buyer perceives good value, while the Seller has a comfort level that the price is fair, and not undermined by what we call "bottom feeders", those … (0 comments)

                                  A Pascack Valley New Year Open House Overflows with Buyers!
This past Sunday I brought along a book to read, since all the newspapers were predicting a very slow start to the New Year Real Estate Market.  Instead, I found not a moment to sit down.  We were deuluged with 15 groups of buyers, each enthralled with the home, and excited to be out looking at homes.  Was I hallucinating, or was this irdeed January 2008? 
The "R" word  not withstanding, the sense of excitement and upbeat attitude was very much in the air.  Having been in this business for the … (0 comments)

As one of many Realtors who works 24/7, I have a constant hand on the pulse of the Real Estate Market, and I am always looking for signs of a change in the Market Place where I work, the Pascack Valley of Bergen County, New Jersey.  I have noticed some wonderful signs recently of a change in our local Real Estate Market.

                                                    Holidays in the Pascack Valley
The beauty of Thanksgiving is gone, and the Holiday Season is upon us in the the Pascack Valley.  Decorations abound, and homes are decorated with beautiful lights and wreaths.
Today, at sundown, the festive Holiday of Chanukah has begun.  Families are lighting candles , singing songs, and the aroma of hot latkes (potato pancakes)  is in the air.  For eight days, the candles will be lit at sundown, increasing in number until all eight candles glow with the beauty of the Holiday. 
I wish all a sweet and festive Chanukah, and a joyous Holiday Season.

Cold Temperatures, Snow, and Lots of Folks Shopping for a Home in Pascack Valley!
Today I had the pleasure of hosting an Open House at 641 Debchar Court in River Vale, a new listing I have the opportunity to offer to the public.  The weather was less than opportune..the streets were snow covered, and the temperatures were indeed quite frigid!  I was anticipating getting lots of work done on my palm, since I was sure the weather would keep the buyers at home.
