That's Right!  I said it!  I'm a licensed Real Estate Agent and wouldn't sell my own home as a FSBO!  You just don't get the exposure!  You don't get the qualified buyers!  You don't get multiple offers!  You don't know the questions to ask as far as the lenders, the qualifications, and so many other factors involved in selling a home!  Ok, some will sell!  I get that! So Why?  Is it Greed?  Is it the distrust for Realtors?  Is it that sellers think commissions are too high, especially if it's a quick sale? WRONG...WRONG....WRONG....  What I do recommend it the right Real Estate Agent.  Right now it is quite stressful for Agents, buyers and sellers...  Ethics violations all over the place....Agents holding Best and Finals and don't even know how to properly conduct them.  Lack of traini...

Last summer, City officials tried something new. They restricted vehicular traffic on Quimby Street to just one way on the weekends. They hoped to encourage more people to get outside and enjoy the fresh air in a safe manner. Then, they lifted the vehicular restrictions during the winter months. But, starting today (April 30th), Quimby Street activities are back.Quimby Street ActivitiesCOVID-19 made many businesses rethink how to make their customers feel safe while also keeping their doors open. City officials understood the pressure our local businesses felt. To help make things a little easier, they created the Quimby Street pedestrian plaza. Thankfully, Quimby Street activities start back up today for the public to enjoy.Expanded Outdoor DiningAs of the writing of this post, indoor ...

Happy home buyers had a home to sell!  Yes, I was able to convince the homeowner of the home they wanted to take their offer, close fast and sell their home for over the asking price!  Tired of losing multiple offers?  Call Janet Larsen today!

 In a previous post I discussed the effects on Second homes and Investment property. The Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (PSPA), recently executed and effective immediately, impacted the percentage of second homes and investment properties the GSE’s  (FNMA and FHLMC) are permitted to purchase from lenders.     By way of background,  the PSPA is an agreement between the US Treasury Department and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which is the governing body for FNMA & FHLMC. Also contained within that amendment is a restriction on the percentage of “high risk” loans the agencies are permitted to acquire.    A “high risk” loan is defined as a loan that has two (2) of the three (3) characteristics below: FICO score < 680. DTI greater than 45.00%. LTV greater than 90.00%.  The G...

The right Real Estate Agent!  That's how. Sometimes it does take a couple homes if you are competing against cash buyers. But with a knowledgeable and experienced Real Estate Agent of 20 years, I will find your dream home!  Fha, VA, Conventional or cash. You have to be willing to listen!  Ask Kathy my home seller whom I got her house under contract and found her a home contingent on selling hers the same day. Ask Bonnie how I found their retirement home contingent with multiple offers and her home under contract. Ask Kames who won the best and final on his investment pry and wasn't even the highest bid or cash. Ask Diane who got her out of State home under contract and I just found her dream home contingent on her sale. Even won the vid under asking price. Are you frustrated?  If you ar...

The Simon Westfall-Kwong Real Estate Group is pleased to provide the March Market Update for Millburn Township. The Spring Market is here and it’s an unprecedented time for Sellers. With top-rated schools and easy access to NYC trains, Millburn and Short Hills are sought-after areas for buyers. Low interest rates on mortgages provide an added incentive for buyers to proceed with a purchase. Although still much lower than in years past, we are starting to see more inventory become available, giving buyers more options. Average Days on Market has started to rise in both towns. The average Sales Price is leveling off a bit, although overall volume of sales in Short Hills is almost 60% higher than in the first quarter of last year. Active listings are rising, (typical for this time of year)...

There has been entirely too much talk of a housing bubble. This is an entirely different market than we ever had before, I lived through the previous 2 bubble pops and the data just is not hinting at a pop at all and here is why: Check out this video: http://homebridgevideo.homebridge.com/watch/KCiFv2Y8yzZcWDEMJEZHfA?  some bullet points from my video: Peak Housing inventory was in 2007 with 3.7 Million units available. Average inventory in the country is 2.5 Million Current inventory 1.28 million units and we have 12 million more households in the country since 2007. Average age of a first time buyer: 33.  Look back 33yrs ago we had a baby boom that continues for YEARS to com the most recent bubble pop was 2007(ish) in the early 1970s we saw a huge drop in birth rates that lasted for y...

Unlike most of the country, Hudson County NJ has not been a white hot seller's market throughout the pandemic. The weakened demand to be in New York City has trickled over to us across the river. Things are picking up, though. According to hudsonrivercondos.com market report, in March, condo inventory in both Hoboken and Jersey City was down and the pace of sales increased. The absorption rate was sharply lower in Jersey City and slightly lower in Hoboken. Condos in Jersey City even commanded 100% of the asking price on average.So, although our market is not on fire. Things are certainly heating up!

What are you most proud of in your life? There are many things. The fact that I was able to transform my health in 2016 and now over 5 years later still be living a healthy lifestyle is hard to overlook. What is most special is that one transformation has led to many. In my family, people I have worked with and to those I am connected to. Helping others do what I have done is so rewarding. To be honest, it is a key component to not just dieting, but to making lasting change. Excited to see what you are all most proud of.Please comment what you are most proud of in your life.
