Overall
The closing of 4 casinos has had a major affect on market prices. Unemployment continues to increase to the highest level in the State, and higher than most areas of the country. Recent events in Atlantic City may well provide the foundation for the beginnings of a recovery.
Unemployment in Atlantic County is the biggest detriment to prices we face. If prospective buyers do not have decent paying, full time jobs, they do not qualify to purchase. The result is a much smaller pool of buyers and reduced demand.
Mortgage Rates are also predicted to gradually climb and at this writing are in the 4% range. As can be seen in the above graph, we continue to stay in the same side ways price channel we've been in for the last three years.
