Is the Real Estate market in your area getting better, staying the same, or getting worse?As a New Jersey Realtor working the counties of Morris, Essex, & Union I pay very close attention to many of the towns in this area which I like to call the Midtown Direct Corridor.  What I am seeing is that slowly but for sure the markets in this area seem to be picking up.  Now keep in mind that we are still in a buyers market, the buyers still need to see a good value in a home before they are willing to purchase it, but they are now willing to purchase anyway.This weeks edition of the Rebound in New Jersey Real Estate came out yesterday and continues to show improvment as well.  If you would like to read the artical and the previous articles please be my guest.  Still watching the markets like ... 08/01/2007

The newest edition of the "The Rebound In New Jersey Real Estate" has just come out.  There seems to be some evidence though anecdotal that the Real Estate Markets in Morris County, Essex County, & Union Counties in New Jersey are starting to improve a little.  They may just be the last rush to see if families can get into a different house before school starts, or it may be the buyers who have been out their for a while now finally deciding that interest rates have gone up enough to push them into making a decision.What are you seeing you your Market Area?? If you would like to read the report all you need to do is follow the link listed here: Real Estate Markets Rebound   About the Author James Boyer, Realtor is a real estate consultant specializing in Morris County Real Estate, He is... 07/25/2007

 1. Wash the Exterior of Your Home - Renting a power washer for an afternoon or a day and wash the exterior of your home-both siding and windows- It can make a world of difference in your home's appearance.   While you have the power sprayer be sure to wash your front steps and walk.  You'll probably be surprised at just how much dirt has accumulated.2. Paint Exterior Trim and Doors - Painting your home's exterior door and window trim is an easy and cost effective way to spruce up your home. In most cases, painting the exterior of your home is probably not a cost effective home improvement if you are planning on moving in the near future, unless the paint looks very aged.3.

Just wanted to point out that there is a interesting little Squidoo lens out there Great Morristown Home. It has a great house on it which is in Morris Township.  The house in many ways is over improved, and even though it is a 4 bedroom Colonial it is priced more like a 3 bedroom.  Do I need to say Value, This house reeks of value.  There is not one thing that needs to be done to move into this house.  The current owners have been meticulous about maintenance and upgrades.  There is a large public park just across the street from the house, as well as the community public poll just a block away.  This home is a must see. Call James Boyer for your private showing or for more information, 973-647-0253James Boyer, Realtor is a Real Estate consultant specializing in Maplewood, Madison, Cha... 07/13/2007

Morristown Real Estate report for June 17 2007As of today there were 58 homes under contract in Morristown and 150 homes on the market.  Though the market is still soft, homes are selling, and prices are not falling though the floor.To sell a home in this kind of market the best approch seems to be as follows:Look at the most comparable sold listings within several miles of the home that is about to be put on the market.  Adjust for things such as busy or not busy roads, desirability of the neighborhood if that is a factor, how up to date the homes are, and the other normal things that we as Realtors do to estimate what a ready and willing buyer would likly pay for a home.  Once that has been done, the next step seems a little counter intuitive to many but works quite well.  Set the pri... 06/17/2007
