New to Blogging

To say I am new to blogging is an understatement though I have some experience writing. The purpose of my blog is to discuss some of the things I see in the New Jersey housing market, offer some tips to homeowners, sellers, buyers and investers. I also want to put out there topics for discussion and to that end I will just jump right in with my first Tip of the Day.

With the rainfall in the Eastern part of the country expected to reach record highs central New Jersey has had a wet few days. The good of that for housing sales is that if there are any problems with water on the roof or in the basement both buyer and seller have a better opportunity to become aware of the problem. Repairs while primarily the responsibility of the seller the buyer may take on the task with some break offered in the asking price.

The bad of the rain is that more people want to stay-in and dry rather than risk getting wet. Rainy day showings means extra work in keeping the entryway dry, easily accomplished with an old bathroom rug.
