March 2013 real estate report for NJ

Housing trends: According to the NJMLS, there were fewer homes on the market in March of 2013 than March of 2012 (down about 8.5%). 

The number of active listings at the end of March 2013 was down 23% from March, 2012. Values of homes have increased by over 6% since last year at this time. This confirms a trend we hope will continue. 

There are many more buyers than homes to show because there is pent up buyer demand. Mortgage rates remain very low, making home ownership affordable to more people. Conversely, market rent has increased by about 2.5% compared to last March.

All of which means – it’s a great time to buy and a great time to sell. Multiple offers have become routine in this market. Getting in and out of attorney review is nail biting.

If you tried selling a few years ago, but were not successful; now may be the right time.   Call me or send me an email to ask about your home's value.
