The Real Estate Market is always moving, however the seasons make an impact at times. The most serious buyers will view homes in freezing low temperatures, why? …because the housing market never stops! Buyers need homes all times of the year. However, when storms come into play, they can put a hault on activity for both buyers and sellers. February 2019 was a rough month, but time to move forward. Here is a Home Sale Market Snapshot of Central New Jersey for both Single Family Residences and Adult Communties. How did your county fair?

Spring Cleaning Time Is Here
It’s that time of year again…spring cleaning time… Don’t huff and puff and think of it as a chore, think of it as “out with the old and in with the new.” It’s time to get organized and spruce up your home. Sometimes you don’t even have to break the bank. A fresh coat of paint is the cheapest way to give a fresh new feeling or a change to your decor. Swap pieces of furniture between rooms and presto…looks like you’ve been shopping. But before the fun part of redecorating, you should always start with some cleaning first. When all is done, I am sure you will find the end results are always rewarding and wondering why it took you so long to do.
