The 2008 April home selling market in Maplewood New Jersey is brisk...in spite of the fact that the first quarter 2008 saw a dramatic drop in the number of homes sold vs. first quarter 2007. Buyers are ringing our phones and open houses are full.  Full priced offers are made when homes are priced right, BUT we are still seeing low offers on homes the buyers feel are overpriced for the neighborhood.Maplewood NJ only saw a 6% drop in average sale price in the first quarter 2008 ($485,750) vs 2007 ($516,492) which speaks to the continued vibrancy of the town with its close proximity to New York City, the Express Midtown Direct Train into Penn Station (less than 30 minutes) and its wonderful downtown and lovely homes and parks.Fifteen homes went under contract in as many days since the begi...

294 Homes SOLD in Maplewood, NJ in 2007... Maplewood Real Estate saw a decrease in Average Sold Price of 13%, a decrease of 2% in Volume of Homes Sold and a decrease of 4 days for Average Days on Market over 2006 (probably due to sellers being more realistic with pricing towards the end of 2007): To continue reading the rest of this market report please visit New Jersey Real Estate Wire

It was right out of the history books... the French (interior designer) abandoned the project and the British (yours truly) stepped in to save the day.A Dicken's House - specifically Scrooge's Nephew's House - of course. it was snowing that day...             ....or is that a halo?  Yes, the only work surface WAS the garbage bin!  Isn't this the cutest thing?  It's done in Maplewood, NJ - a Dicken's Village set up in the little town square.  Each house is a different bit of the story.  We start with Scrooge's Nephew, the one next to us is the Counting House where they all work.  Then there's Fezziwig's place, Scrooge's bedroom, the Crachetts' House, etc. etc. and then The Conservatory.  This is not in the story, of course, but it give the Garden Club a way to participate.  T...

The Fall Real Estate Market is Here.  In the month of September 13 homes sold and transferred in Maplewood New Jersey.  A far cry from what the news media would have you think is happening.  Despite what you here in the news people are still going out and getting home mortgages, and they are still buying homes.  At this stage of the real estate market cycle they are getting good deals too.  Will this turn out to have been the best time to buy during this cycle of the real estate market?  You never know until a year or two down the road, but just like with the stock market, if you try to time it, you will miss the best time to buy every time.  The best time to buy is when you want and need a home, or a different size home than you currently have. Maplewood New Jersey Home buyers, Now you...

     Besides being a real estate agent, I'm also an active artist. I didn't realize what a vibrant art scene there is here. I grew up in Madison NJ, only a few miles from here, and always swore I would never raise my kids in the suburbs. I guess that's why they say "Never say never." About 6 months after my daughter was born, my husband got a job in Livingston. My best friend from high school had relatives who grew up in Maplewood, and I'd visited the town a couple of times and remembered it as being rather nice.      So one beautiful fall Sunday we drove out here. We parked our car on a side street and walked around the corner. There spread out before us was the most charming village I'd seen in a long time. The streets were busy with all different sorts of people, of all ages. We fell...
