February 8th, 2010 Categories: Buying a Home in NJ, Commuting to NYC, Livingston Living, Recent New Jersey Home Sales

2009 Year in Review - Real Estate Trends for Livingston NJ
I am always asked: “What is so special about Livingston, NJ?”
Plenty, first my husband grew up there and graduated from Livingston High School.
His family still lives there as do many of my cousins.
So, OK I may be partial!
There are homes for sale at every price point…
whether you want:
single family homes, town homes, upscale senior communities
or in-town living.
Livingston is ranked in the Top 20 NJ High Schools.
Commuting to New York is EASY on the Express Bus from
The Livingston Mall (40 minutes)
or a short hop to Harrison and the PATH.
Some of my favorite restaurants are there
(Stretch’s, Livingston Bagel and Samurai Sushi)
If you are into Sports Memorabilia go to
Bob Beck’s Collectibles and tell him I sent you
So how were 2009 home sales in Livingston, NJ?
Not bad, average sale priced dropped just a bit (6%)
from $637,002 in 2008 to $596,049 in 2009.
Surprisingly, 9 more homes sold last year (287)
It took longer to do so (72 vs 66 days).
As I watch the current flurry of early 2010 activity…
Now is the time to buy!

February 8th, 2010 Categories: Buying a Home in NJ, Commuting to NYC, Millburn & Short Hills Living, Recent New Jersey Home Sales

Millburn Real Estate Trends - 2009 Year in Review
With the 2009 real estate slump, less homes were sold in Millburn/Short Hills
than the previous year (223 vs. 260).
However, Millburn/Short Hills benefits from having the # 1 High School in New Jersey
In addition, the town boasts strong cultural events with the
Papermill Playhouse and Metropolitan Orchestra
and of course premium shopping downtown and at The Short Hills Mall.
That said, the average home sale price fell from $1,216,231 in 2008
to $1,160,406 in 2009.
Of course days on market increased as a result of the economy
to 73 up from 52 days in 2008.
The good news ahead for 2010…the phones are ringing
and the sellers that hesitated last year,
are providing exceptional buying opportunities
in the upcoming months…stay tuned.

August Hartshorn Home Sales in Short Hills
October 11th, 2008 Categories: Buying a Home in NJ, Millburn & Short Hills Living, Recent New Jersey Home Sales
It has been so wonderful watching the growth of our Keller Williams office over the past three years. Red KW signs are easily spotted in communities along and adjacent to the Midtown Direct train line
Representing both Buyers and Sellers, Keller Williams home sales are closing…not easy in this economy.
Just look at this one section of Short Hills. Out of the eighteen homes sold in the Hartshorn Grade School area in August 2008, Keller Williams represented ten transactions. Pretty good for an office that is only three years old.
