The USDA Rural Housing program is an excellent way to purchase a home when you have limited funds.  While we do not typically think of NJ as being a rural area there still are significant parts of the state that are eligible for financing.  Below is the map of NJ showing the eligible areas.  The lighter colors are eligible while the darker colors indicate the ineligible areas.Since my office is located in Ocean County I wanted to zoom in on the map a bit so you can see that huge portions of Ocean County are in eligible areas:In addition to geographical restrictions the USDA also has income limits. A small family in Ocean and Monmouth counties  the Household income limit is $140,600/yr  for family of 5 or more that number is increased. The benefits of a USDA loan are not just the zero do...

DON'T Wait: Home prices continue to climbFor today's blog I am going to focus on NJ specific numbers since that is where I am located.  You can do the math for your area by vising FHFA.Gov or take a look at the chart I posted a few blogs back that have the FHFA numbers for all the states.The FHFA's first quarter report had Home Prices in NJ increasing 11.58% from March of 2023 to March of 2024. That increase put NJ in 2nd place for appreciation in that time period.We often hear potential buyers wanting to wait for rates to go down before they buy and that would have hurt significantly in the past year.  Here's the Math:If you were looking at a $400,000 home in NJ last year and decided to wait for rates to go down before purchasing.  Guess what that home is worth today?  On average in NJ...

Another successful closing in Manalapan NJ, A Great Place to live!   Congratulations to my wonderful BUYERS! This closing was very special to me. Back in 2003, I had the pleasure of meeting a family—a husband, wife, and two young boys from Staten Island—who were making the move to New Jersey. They settled in Manalapan and fell in love with this wonderful town. Fast forward 19 years later, and yesterday I had the joy of selling another home in Manalapan—to one of those same boys! I was so touched by this and incredibly grateful for their trust in me throughout the home-buying process. Representing them was an absolute pleasure. Wishing them much health and happiness in their new home. Here’s to new beginnings, Anthony and Justine! xo Also, I had the pleasure of representing the sellers ...

The best time to buy Real Estate was Yesterday.  The second best time is today.You may have heard in the headlines that Inventory is up... While there has been a large increase in inventory nationally it is far from where we need it to be.  Take a look at the chart above.  You can see inventory began its decline in 2019.  There was a surge of first time buyers coming into the market before the pandemic and while that is a good thing, it does hurt inventory.  Over the past few years we have had First Time buyers be the largest segment of home buyers.   Another segment of the buying market that has been strong over the past few years: Investors.  Both First time buyers and investors take inventory away without replacing it.  Most reports over the past few years have over 1/2 of all buyers...
