I wish we were watching the NY Jets tonight in the Super Bowl. Oh well, at least the music at halftime was entertaining with The Who. Actually the onside kick was pretty aggressive of a tactic. Well speaking of aggressive…with regard to the real estate market, those homeowners pricing aggressively are seeing positive results, in my opinion. A client of mine put an offer on a home in Westfield. Great house in nice neighborhood, kind of small, but totally redone and updated. This home got 7 offers after being on the market 5 days. I am certain it sold WAY over asking price. That leave 6 other real buyers out there still desiring to purchase a home. The demand is out there for sure. In Warren as well. A couple of homes came on the market in nice locations with an appealing price and both under contract in days! As agents we see the market activity way before it is reported. Sales and prices will be up in the first quarter of 2010, at least in our market area of Somerset & Union Counties. Homes in updated condition and priced fairly are the ones flying off the market.

I have a great home listing in Warren that will be coming on the market in Warren. Here is a head’s up… 40 Casale Drive So., Warren will go on the market at $799,900. I believe there is a strong demand in this price point with available inventory being limited. This home is just lovely…updated, gorgeous kitchen with vaulted ceiling, Skylights, granite counters, Maple cabinets, professional grade stove and hood, sub zero refrigerator. My homeowner was very savvy to listen to advice and price it every aggressively. I hope and expect the result will by multiple interest.

More new listings coming on…watch my blog to see the listings before they hit the MLS.
