Here's wishing everyone a Marry Christmas and a happy New Year.
2007 has been a ruff year for those trying to sell New Jersey real estate the old fashioned way. Hiring a New Jersey Realtor because they know the person or are related to him or her rather than because the New Jersey Realtor is the best person for the job.
Let 2007 be a lesson for home sellers wanting to sell 300K 400K heck 800K homes and listing them with some relative or friend who has likely not sold a home they have listed before and don't have the slightest idea how to market a home in today's market.
In 2008 please do yourself a favor. When thinking of buying or selling a home, be sure you hire a New Jersey Realtor how has experience in the towns you are interested in or in the case of selling a home, be sure to hire a New Jersey Realtor who has a great marketing plan, and great Internet presence to showcase your home to the 82% of home buyers who shop online for 6 months or more before seeing a few homes in person.
Cheers,

Morris County NJ Affordable House Requirement Going Through Roof.
What the heck is the NJ Legislature thinking of when they push such anti rules? All this sort of thing achieves is fewer jobs, higher taxes, and more frustration with the crazy stuff our legislature comes up with.
If the new rules proposed by the state council on affordable housing go into affect Morris County may need to add 6,500 Affordable Housing Units.
The new proposed rules would lower the number of market-rate homes that could be built for every affordable housing unit from 9 market rate homes per 1 affordable housing unit to just 5 market rate homes. The rules also would require a municipality to build an affordable housing unit for every 16 jobs that are created down from every 25 new jobs added to a community.
What does this all mean for Morris County and for New Jersey as a whole? It means, higher taxes, fewer jobs, companies looking to leave New Jersey.
There has to be a better way.

News Media Lies about Chatham NJ Real Estate Again, well they reinforce something that is not the truth.
New Home Construction tumbles, Not Related To Chatham NJ Real Estate Sales
National News means nothing for Chatham NJ Real Estate Market!!
Housing construction fell in November and single-family activity dropped to the lowest level in more than 16 years as a severe housing slump showed no signs of a turnaround. This is how the headline from the national news reporter Martin Crutsinger, AP Economics. Never mind that better than 50% of his results are coming from California, Florida, Arizona & one or two other South Western states.
Chatham New Jerseys housing market seems to have flattened out now after declining in the spring and early summer. The only real price reductions we are continuing to see are from home sellers who over priced their homes to start with.
What does this mean for Chatham New Jersey home sellers?
If you want to sell, this is a good time to get started while the inventory levels are down. The real fury of new listings will likely come in March and early April. If you can get your home on the market long before all the competition hits in March and at the right price, you likely can get your home sold for a good fair price.
What does this mean for Chatham New Jersey area home buyers?
while the new home listings coming to market this last month or so are mostly priced properly, there are still plenty of homes which have been on the market for a while now. Many times home buyers look to these listings thinking there must be something wrong with the house which is why it did not sell. The truth is the problem that likely kept the house from selling was that it was over priced in the beginning, and by the time they got around to bringing the price down it was too late. You see, the highest price any home seller is going to get for their home is in the first 3 to 4 weeks the home is on the market. If a home seller priced their home too high to get a offer during that time period, they likely will have to take less then they would have gotten if they had priced right to start with. To sum this whole paragraph up, homes that have been on the market for 70 or more days equal you can get them for a bargain or the home will not sell.
Chatham New Jersey home buyers and sellers, time to get going.

Refin Real Estate Glen Kelman says your REALTOR is lying to you
Friday December 14th 2007: NBC’s Today Show and Meridith Vierra interview Refin Real Estate Spokesman Glen Kelman. The title of the segment was “everything you are being told by your Realtor may be wrong”. That implies a lie.
Mr. Kelman claimed that he and his people over at Redfin real estate are not in real estate sales at all. They are calling themselves scientists, really scientists. So what have these real estate scientists come up with that is stunningly different than what we the Professional REALTORS have known and practiced for years: Don’t over price your home. Make sure your home is marketed online.
Really, wow I never would have thought of that. OK, that was not true, I thought of that about 4 years ago when I first started as a Professional REALTOR. I always advise people to price their homes right at the market or slightly below the market because I know that the highest price a home seller is going to get is in the first 3 or 4 weeks the home is on the market. If a home seller over prices their home, they don’t get any other offers. The reality is that the home seller chooses where to price their home not their Realtor, of course the home buyer chooses what the home actually sells for.
The truth is Redfin really does not sell real estate, they run a website where they pretend to sell real estate.
Poor Meridith Vierra, admitted she has been trying to sell her home for some two years now. She stated that she thought that she was supposed to price her home high so that she would have room to negotiate. Negotiate?? with who? you have to get a offer on your home before you can negotiate! Meridith Vierra you have made the number one classic home seller mistake, and I bet you made the number two classic home seller mistake as well, you did not interview more than one Professional REALTOR to sell your home.

Florham Park Gaining a Big Business
The New York Jets are coming to Florham Park New Jersey. They are redeveloping the former Exxon office park site.
The site will have a 27-acre training and headquarters facility, an office complex, senior housing (likely 55 and up housing) and a hotel. This is a major redevelopment for Florham Park and will have a large & hopefully very positive impact on Florham Park and the communities.
The Jets headquarters relocating to Florham Park New Jersey will generate local jobs and more than $10 million annually in new tax revenue for New Jersey. The agreement to move to Florham Park also provides for the Jets to create an annual $50,000 fund that Florham Park will dedicate to athletic and recreational facilities and programs.

Search Engine Optimization & Making Friends
Yesterday while reading a few of the blogs over at my good friend Denver SEO Guy I noticed that he had taken some advice from me. Now this was not profound advice or anything, just advice I had given because I was interested in the subject. I tend to like to read Knox's blog because is has a very good mix of entertainment along with good SEO information. As of late though Knox had been on vacation as well as been writing some less technical articles. I thought to myself, I cannot wait for him to write another technical article on something I can understand and possibly even do.
I am honored to say that Knox is a great guy and well worth reading. You should stop buy his SEO blog sometime and see what he has to say. You never know what he is going to write about next.

Great Deals For Summit NJ Home Buyers, Here is the advice the Summit Home Sellers Are Getting!!
Summit Home Sellers, What Should You Do When Your House Does Not Sell?
The longer your home sites on the market, the less likely you are to get a price that you are going to like. Avoid waiting to long to make a decision.
Listen To A Professional Summit NJ Realtors Feedback!
Ask your real estate professional to poll his or her colleagues who have shown your home. If location is the problem, you may not have any choice but to reduce your price. But if your home's appearance is the issue, deal with what seems to be holding buyers back, such as cleaning up the basement or painting the inside.
Reduce Your Homes Price
This is the most obvious decision. If the real estate market has slowed since you listed your home six weeks ago (and it has), the comparable recent home sales you used to set your listing price may be out of date. Consider reducing your price by as much as 10 percent; that is a strong signal to other real estate professionals that you are motivated to sell. If you still have no takers after four to six weeks, you may have to cut your price again.
Have A Strategy Meeting
Your NJ real estate professional may have done all he or she can do. If you are near the end of the listing period be sure to interview a few other Summit NJ Realtors to see what they might do differently than the Realtor you hired in the first place.
It is always a good idea to interview several Realtors before signing a listing agreement with any of them. Remember not all Realtors are the same, and to many of them will tell you any price they think you want to hear, to get you to sign the listing agreement.

Are The Old Line Real Estate Brokers Charging Their Realtors Too Much??
Some after thoughts from interviewing many of the local Real Estate companies. Please keep in mind that I have been a Realtor for 4 years now. I have moved from a RE/MAX office in Wilmington DE up to a Keller Williams Office in Summit NJ, and now I have moved back to RE/MAX Properties Unlimited in Morristown NJ. I have to say that the reception and overall helpfull attitude I have recieved since joining RE/MAX Properties Unlimited has been wonderful as compaired to other experiences I have had.
So on to my story:
Do some of the big brokerages of the Real Estate Brokerage World have a good deal to offer you??
Recently I switched Real Estate Brokerages. I was a Keller Williams Realtor, but decided for many reasons, that Keller Williams was just not working out for me. So I interviewed several of the large real estate companies with offices in Morristown Nj and Madison Nj, and here is what I found.
Coldwell Banker: was only willing to offer a 47% split to start as Agent Realtor but claimed the following benefits
They would pay the postage on 400 pieces of mail per month for 1 year (This amounts to $1248 yearly)
They would pay for my signs (My Signs ended up costing me $200)
They would put my listings in the newspaper with their add (I give this no value)
They would pay for Realtor.com upgrade. (cost $275 per year, value ????)
Weichert: was only willing to offer a 50% split to start as Agent Realtor also claimed the following benefits
They would pay the postage on 500 pieces of mail per month for 1 year (This amounts to $1560 yearly)
They would pay for my signs (My Signs ended up costing me $200)
They would put my listings in the newspaper with their add (I give this no value)
They would pay for Realtor.com upgrade. (cost $275 per year, value ????)
Prudential: I did not interview as what they had to say on the phone sounded like what I had already heard.
RE/MAX, offered to pay no advertising but offered a much better split if I wanted to go the split direction or I could go with a monthly desk fee and keep 94% of the commissions I earn.
It seems to me that the so called free company advertising with the big boys comes at a huge cost once you start doing more than one deal a year. I fully intend to be doing more than 1 deal a month so you can see how poor the free advertising deal looks to me.
If anyone wishes to ask more about my thoughts on the different brokerages.

Realtor.com out of date
A friend of mine, Eric Blackwell inspired this rant I am calling a blog post with his blog about how Realtor.com can save themselves.
Realtor.com has been running their website as if it is 1999 ever since it was 1999. No real improvements, Just price increase after price increase all the while delivering fewer and fewer actual leads as each year goes buy. Because of the way many of the technologically inept Realtors in many areas run their internet advertising Realtor.com has been able to hold on with their very outdated and just plain bad product. The home selling consumer expects all of us to have their house fetured on Realtor.com so we are forced to pay Realtor.com's exorbitant prices even though for most of us it does not generate any actual home buyer or seller leads.
In Summit New Jersey and all of Union County New Jersey Realtor.com is totally expected by home sellers, but when I actually survey home buyers who come to open houses and home buyers that I have worked with in general very few of them report that they used Realtor.com before they met me. Of course once I start working with home buyers, I direct them to my website which has a much better home search feature than Realtor.com and it makes it very easy for the home buyer to do what they need to in their research of homes, towns, and areas.
Basically what I am saying is Realtor.com change drastically or your days are numbered!!
- Fellow Realtors, What are your thoughts?? Speak out, Let Realtor.com hear by Blog rant that we their consumers are not happy with their product, prices, or service!!

What disasters will your homeowners insurance cover
What disasters will your homeowners insurance cover. You might be shocked at what is not covered.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) conducted a poll of some 700 homeowners. The results showed that 51% thought there home would be covered in the event of the main water supply line to their home breaking and flooding their home. Nope sorry that is not covered by your typical homeowners insurance. 35% of the homeowners surveyed thought that normal homeowners insurance would cover in the event of a earthquake.
Though earthquakes are usually thought of as being especially destructive, fortunately here in New Jersey we don't have the earthquakes. Floods on the other hand are especially bad. According to (NAIC) 90% of natural disasters are accompanied by some form of flooding, and unless you have purchased a flood insurance policy you likely are out of luck.
Your standard homeowners insurance policy will pay to rebuild, repair, & replace homes and personal belongings contained in them, if they are destroyed by, Fire, Hail, Lightning, & Hurricanes, but not Floods.
Worried about potential flood damage in the future, Check into getting a flood insurance policy.

Get your Red Hot Deal On A Morristown NJ Home
Wondering if it is a good time to be thinking of buying a home in Morristown New Jersey? Is the news media right this time when they say this is a bad time to by, or as usual are they wrong again?
Being as I am a Professional Realtor, you may think that I am a bit biased, but that is OK, I can let the facts speak for them selves. Right now is a great time to be a home buyer. Very few people have the guts to be out their looking at homes and to make a offer on the right one. That is what makes it such a great time to be a home buyer. Their are home sellers out their who have to sell. They will sell for what is reasonable to the home buyers and they are OK with that.
If you otherwise might wait until summer of 2008, think about it again, the fall of 2007 likely can bring you a better deal.

Madison New Jersey 07940
Madison New Jersey had 15 homes transfer to their new owners in the month of September 2007. Not a bad number considering all the New Media hype about not buying a house and all the hype about the home mortgage industry problems.
- Want to do your own research on the Morris County Real Estate Market check out Madison New Jersey & Morris County New Jersey MLS Search It is a Free and Registration free tool for you to use. Every home that is listed in the MLS can be found and shown to you by this tool. If you want to start saving searches of course you can do so.
The truth is that if you have decent credit you can get a mortgage, but you have to remember, mortgage rates continue to go up. So if you are sitting on the fence wondering if home prices will continue to come down, you have to take Mortgage Rates into the equation as well. If a home comes down another percent or two and mortgage rates go up another percent or so, are you really much better off waiting to buy your next home.
A even more stark example, if you have a growing family and will need more space but you currently own a home, understand you have to sell your current home most likely. Lower priced home prices have remained stronger than mid and upper priced homes, but if the Real Estate Market here in Northern New Jersey continues to stay week, lower priced home prices may begin to soften as well.

Though earthquakes are usually thought of as being especially destructive, fortunately here in New Jersey we don't have the earthquakes. Floods on the other hand are especially bad. According to (NAIC) 90% of natural disasters are accompanied by some form of flooding, and unless you have purchased a flood insurance policy you likely are out of luck.
Your standard homeowners insurance policy will pay to rebuild, repair, & replace homes and personal belongings contained in them, if they are destroyed by, Fire, Hail, Lightning, & Hurricanes, but not Floods.
Worried about potential flood damage in the future, Check into getting a flood insurance policy.
