In this very dynamic real estate market TIC (Tenant in Common) investors have suffered as the market has weakened. In particular, those real estate investors that joined TIC investments in the last four years, (at the top of the market) are finding that in some locations, high vacancy rates and plunging rental rates are squeezing their cash flow and their ability to pay their mortgages.

As baby boomers have aged, they wanted to reposition their assets into investments that did not take up as much of their time and that did not involve their day to day attention.

Buying a home is perhaps the most arduous, expensive and, ultimately, valuable acquisition you'll ever complete. Just one mistake could mean disaster -- perhaps the worst mistake you'll ever make.  In order to avoid titanic trip ups during such a trying transaction, RealEstate.com suggests buyers get to know the most common home buying blunders.

Sometimes sellers forget to mention important upgrades and other times the listing services used make it difficult for buyers to search for green properties. While statistics show that buyers won't necessarily chose an eco-friendly home over a standard one simply because it's green, they can be influenced to purchase the former if the home will save them money. There are a few areas of a home that can really help save money, but the sources of the savings are hidden in the walls and roof. "Insulation is relatively inexpensive for the return on investment. You will save the most money by doing a lot of insulation in your house," says Steven Mark Design Consultant at Marrokal Design & Remodeling.   Paul F. Stillwaggon NJ Estates Real Estate Group    April 2010 LINKING THE LATEST TECHNOLOG... 04/04/2010

Whether you are a believer in the GREEN movement or not, designing buildings that use strategies aimed at improving the performance of metrics that matter most: water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction and energy savings makes sense. The last two years have been a wake-up call for not only Americans but for citizens of the world. We have all been faced with the rising cost of the natural resources we use every day and have come to understand the wisdom of conservation. Paul F.

I am amazed at the amount of real estate activity this week.  I am excited to find that "According to the 2009 Profile of New Jersey Home Buyers and Sellers, first-time buyers account for a larger portion of the housing market than in previous years, largely due to the impact of the federal home buyer tax credit." "The survey results released by NJAR®found the number of first-time buyers rose to 52 percent. First-time buyers accounted for 49 percent of all buyers in 2008 and only 36 percent of buyers in 2007. When asked about the primary reason for the timing of their home purchase, 46 percent of first-time buyers said it was just the right time."  Statistics Source: NJAR This is wonderful news and with the recent flurry of activity in the market, it is clear there are many buyers out t... 03/02/2010

Home buyers and home sellers have the same goal: an exchange of property. Buyers want to pay as little as possible for the nicest house they can afford; sellers want to earn as much as possible on their property. They may seem like conflicting interests, but they aren't. Buyers and sellers goals, at bottom, are both about making a fair trade. NJ EstatesReal Estate Group Paul Stillwaggon March 2010 LINKING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGYTO OLD FASHIONED SERVICE Copyright © 2010 Realty TimesAll Rights Reserved. For sellers, there are some intangible factors they simply can't control, like fluctuations in the market in their city or neighborhood, interest rates on mortgages, and the price at which nearby homes are selling for. Sellers can, however, control how their home is presented when their Real... 03/02/2010

Thomas Edison (Newark; Menlo Park; West Orange) Named "Man of the Millennium" by Time Magazine, Thomas Alva Edison was probably more responsible than anyone for creating the modern world. In all of history there was never an innovator quite like him.   Inventors create single products or processes but innovators do not change the world like he did with the phonograph...the first commercially practical incandescent bulb...the first electric company...the first motion pictures...the Dictaphone...the mimeograph...the storage battery...all of which contributed to his reputation as the Man of the Millennium. Living more than half a century in the Garden State, Thomas Edison was revered the world over. We are proud he chose New Jersey for his home and his Lab as the incubator for him becoming... 11/28/2009
