Well with another month gone we are quickly approaching the fall market.   Hamilton Township, Mercerville, Yardville, Hamilton  is still holding steady with a current supply of homes at six (9) months.   As mentioned in previous monthly reviews, this is above what we would consider a "great" market but still consistent with contacts every month.   The ideal market supply is six (6) months or less.     I strongly believe we still have some "fire" left in the 2007 market place and if you are considering a move you might want to consider it strongly before the year end.  And with the extra supply of homes and the recent reduction in interest rate it might be a perfect time for you to buy.  If you want a no-hassle free market analysis please don't hesitate to contact myself or my team at ... 10/02/2007

 Courtesy of Pam Bless, Re/Max Tri County609-587-9300 ext. 314    Selling your own home can save you from having to pay a Realtor's commission, but before you decide to tackle such an undertaking it would be wise to analyze what you're getting in return for that Realtor's commission.  Only then can you decide if For Sale by Owner, or FSBO, will be a big gain for you or a big risk. When a Realtor lists your home, he or she will provide you with all contracts you need to sign to legally list your property.  She will advise you as to what is a good asking price, although that decision is ultimately yours.  Without a Realtor you will need to have an attorney draw up contracts once you get a buyer.  You will also need to find out if your buyer is qualified and whether or not they have their ... 09/18/2007

                                       TEN THINGS THAT MAKE BUYERS BITE  Courtesy ofPam Bless, Re/Max Tri County609-587-9300 ext. 314    I don't usually advise my clients who are selling their home to spend a lot of money upgrading.  I recommend that they keep their home neat and clean to show it to its best advantage, and I try to help them determine a selling price that takes into account the home's true fair market value.  A home loaded with upgrades and extras will command more in price, while the same size home that needs repairs or updating will command less in price.  Some clients decide to spend some money on their home hoping to hasten a sale, which can work out well if the money they spend can be recouped in the final sale price. There ARE some situations, however, where a sel... 09/11/2007

Hamilton Township Enacts Hotel Tax  In early July, Hamilton Township Council followed the lead of several neighboring municipalities (including Ewing and West Windsor) and voted to implement a hotel tax. The township's first hotel-the 105-room Hilton Garden Inn-is under construction on Route 130 near the Hamilton Marketplace and is due to be open for business in September.Under the hotel tax, guests will pay a 15 percent tax, of which 3 percent will go to the township and the rest will go to the state. According to hotel officials, the township can expect to gain as much as $95,000 annually from the new tax. 07/26/2007

Hamilton Reconsiders Transit Village Concept  On March 14, approximately 75 Hamilton residents, elected officials, school board members, firefighters, and New Jersey Transit officials met to discuss how the township should proceed with the redevelopment of the area surrounding the Hamilton Train Station. Earlier in the year, the Republican controlled council derailed the part of the plan that set the zoning for the land surrounding the station and the nearby American Standard factory site. Plans for the American Standard site, which include the construction of 680 homes and 450,000 square feet of office space, have already been approved. However, council pulled NJ Transit's plans for 300 condominiums, office and commercial space, a hotel, and a parking garage, citing the potential impac... 03/27/2007

Well it is on again... for now. The town council and the mayor stopped squabbling long enough to agree to ask for public input into the proposed transit village (like their neighbors in West Windsor did. The name of the game was to serve the people. The proposed transit village at the Hamilton Station makes sense. The Republican council, Democratic mayor and transit representatives met Friday and miraculously have agreed to have more studies done and allow public input into the process that will take long abandon commercial properties and turn them into revenue generating entities.Whether this spirit of cooperation will survive until the project is actually gets under way is anybody's guess but perhaps having a disinterested mediator, which is another outcome of Friday's meeting, will h... 02/26/2007
