I’ve always loved talking about the fabulous features that come with living in the Millburn-Short Hills area. In fact, I’ve done some blog posts in the past that mention some of the amazing aspects of this community. Today though, I wanted to focus on the vast array of cuisine options you have in the locale.

Though I am only mentioning a few here, you will quickly see that despite not being in the Big Apple, as many of our local residents fondly think of when it comes to our dining options, Millburn-Short Hills still has a lot to offer! Here are a few of the restaurants I talked about in the video as well as their websites, information about their location and more. Of course, I’d love to meet with you to talk about other joys of living in this great locale. So if you would like to discuss the possibilities or even if you’d just like to explore some options, contact me today at 973 214 0691 – I look forward to hearing from you!

New Providence, NJ is the New HOTSPOT for Buyers!

Watch on your mobile device >>

There is nothing more wonderful than being surrounded by natural beauty, gorgeous history and unparalleled standards of education, community and great cuisine! That’s why my latest rave is the New Providence area to buy your next home. Not that it wasn’t always a great place, but with this year’s vote from the coveted New Jersey Monthly as having the top rated school system makes this an even better place to live in!

Leaving aside just the fantastic education in this quintessential New Jersey town, there are also a lot of fabulous restaurants, plenty of shopping (both national and local shops and stores) plus a lot of parks for recreation. The stunning backdrop of greenery, cherished by residents, will also be a highlight when you choose a lifestyle in this town of just under 13,000 residents.

People that love nature will bask in the gorgeous surroundings of the Second Watchung Mountain and creek beds that swirl through the terrain – all connected to Salt Brook. The center of the town marks the place where all these creeks join and then flow into the Passaic River. One of the favorite pastimes of residents is to enjoy any of the several parks owned by the Borough; Clearwater Park close to the end of Central Avenue, Lyons Park on Livingston Avenue and Veterans Memorial Park on South Street.

Just 28 short miles from the Big Apple, people living in New Providence have the best of both worlds; perfect small town living yet easy access to the big metropolis of New York City.

If you are considering locales close to New York City, this is a great place to check out! Call me today for a tour of New Providence and I would be glad to share all the fantastic things about this little town. Call me at 973.214.0691 today.

August 2012 Real Estate Update

Watch on your mobile device >>

As we sit back and relax during this otherwise slower month for real estate I wanted to share with you some of the happenings in our marketplace and how they impact you. As of this time in August last year, many of our markets were seeing a significant amount of inventory on hand. Fast forward to the same time this year and the change is fantastic!

Breaking down each area, here is a look at how our local real estate market performance has been plus a few tips on how this impacts you as a buyer or seller today.

South Orange, West Orange

We saw a surge of inventory last year and slowly over the past 12 months this has come down. Today, we have approximately 20% less inventory in these areas coupled with a sales increase of about 32% from last year. This is phenomenal news! Even though prices remained the same, what this tells us is that we are on the road to recovery from the harsh outcomes of the housing crisis back in 2007.

Maplewood

The Maplewood area saw a huge decline in the number of homes available on the market with as much as about 40% fewer homes this year compared to last! Sales improved during that time too, with a 9% increase in sales from the same time last year.

Millburn, Short-Hills and Summit

We have not seen a lot of change in these markets but mainly because there were no major struggles in these areas to begin with. Last year, inventory levels were fairly stable as were home sales. The same holds true this year, making Millburn, Short-Hills and Summit fairly level year over year. We did see a slight improvement in the number of sales.

Borough of Chatham

Like the Millburn, Short-Hills and Summit markets, the Borough of Chatham also experienced a fairly level real estate outlook this year as well as last. No real change in inventory levels were reported and a slight increase in sales took place this year versus the same time in 2011.

Chatham Township

There was more change reported in the Chatham Township area compared to the Borough, with Chatham Township registering 10% more homes available on the market. There was also a 13% decline in the number of sales in this area.

Madison

The most significant change we have seen was reported in Madison. With a huge dip in inventory this year from 70 homes on the market in 2011 to just 47 at the same time this year, this market is on track for a balanced market. With sales up 7%, it is a good time to sell right now especially as demand increases with fewer homes.

~

Considering the overall changes in our marketplace now is a great time for both sellers and buyers alike. The super low interest rates are holding steady for now so that means the cost of borrowing is significantly lower than it has been in years. In terms of selling your home, as the competition continues to increase with fewer and fewer available homes for sale, you can expect multiple bids and top dollar sales.
