Getting A Great Deal On A Morristown NJ Home
What type of home to look for in this buyers market to ensure you get a great deal?
Lets to get a few things straight before we begin. In 2008 we are in a real estate buyers market. What does that mean? It means that there are lots and lots of homes available for sale, but there are very few buyers. Many home sellers seem to be confused by that fact, and make statements such as if it is a buyer's market where are all the buyers? That is just the point, in a buyer's market there are very few buyers, which means those few buyers who are out there looking, have control, not the home sellers.
OK, that it out of the way. As a home buyer who wants to make sure he / she gets the best possible deal on purchasing a home, but like most home buyers you don't want to go though major renovations (at least not right away). Short of looking for foreclosures and such things, which everyone starts off talking about, I will give you the tried and true things which will get you a home at a great deal.
What to look for physically: Look for homes which are structurally sound, your not going to have to rebuild things, tare things down, go get a home equity loan to pay for repairs. These homes you want to find, have little curb appeal because the home owner has not taken care to keep the landscaping up, has not kept up with painting the house, keeping the front lawn well manicured. Inside the home look for walls that need to be painted, carpets which need to be replaced, appliances which are out of date and ugly. Why are you looking for these things? You are looking for these things because if you find them all ugly everyone else will as well. Why is that important, at least in the North Eastern part of the country, better than 90% of the home buyers are looking for homes they can just move into, they don't have to do much if any work.
What to look for in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) sheets that you're REALTOR gives you? Look for homes which have been on the market for more than 100 days, pay particular attention to those that indicate they are vacant, or have a renter. These home owners will tend to be more motivated than your typical home owner who is still living in the house they want to sell.Follow the above advice and you will likely be able to find a great house which just needs a little love, and get it at a wonderful discount as compared to if someone had already given it the love that it needed.

Monkey droppings real estate
This blog post is a test to see where a blog post here at blogger would show up for a obscure search term such as Monkey droppings real estate. I am hoping that this test shows Monkey droppings real estate shows up for that Google and Yahoo search. In fact I would expect that since I used that in the title as well as in the body of the post and used it in the labels it should show up.
We will see just how good Blogger dose, or better yet if blogger is just Monkey droppings.
I am hoping that Monkey droppings real estate is a search term that this post will take the number 1 possition for.
For real estate news that you might find more interesting than this blog post, stop by my other real estate blog, Convent Station Real Estate there you will find interesting news about the Convent Station section of Morris Township, and the Real Estate market associated with it.

You Can Now Afford More Home In Summit New Jersey
Summit NJ Home Buyers, Did you know, the Federal Reserve has cut the interest rate they charge banks 1.25% over the past few weeks? This could have a huge effect on the home you can now afford to purchase in Summit NJ or other surrounding towns.
Have you talked with your mortgage person lately? With every 1% mortgage interest rate reduction the typical mortgage payment drops 9%. This can make a huge difference in the home you can afford. For example, if you thought that the highest home price you could afford was $700,000 you could move that number up to $763,000 with a 1% mortgage interest rate cut, and still have approximately the same mortgage payment.
