National Association of Realtors - Third Quarter Homes Sales for New Jersey
NJAR® releases statement regarding 3rd quarter home sales REPORT
(Edison, NJ)- Reacting to the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ (NAR) 2008 Third Quarter Metro Home Prices/State Resales report, New Jersey Association of REALTORS® (NJAR®) Executive Vice President Jarrod C. Grasso, RCE, today issued the following statement: “Once again, the third quarter report shows that the median sales prices in most of the metropolitan statistical areas in New Jersey remain relatively stable. There are even areas in the state where home values have increased. In fact, the Trenton-Ewing area experienced a 4.2 percent increase in the median sales price of existing single-family homes. While we have yet to experience the full impact of the financial crisis on Wall Street, we are hopeful the increased Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan limits, first-time home buyer tax credit and other economic stimulus measures will encourage Garden State residents to enter the housing market. “Today’s housing market offers real possibilities for financially capable buyers. Extremely low mortgage interest rates and a tremendous housing stock give people more buying power than they had in previous years. As always, consumers should seek the guidance of a REALTOR® to get a true understanding of local housing market conditions. This localized knowledge helps consumers to make informed, smart decisions in these unsteady times. “Our hope is that our state legislators recognize the importance of the real estate industry in the overall fiscal health of the state. During this tumultuous economic climate, our elected officials should take every opportunity afforded to them to bolster the housing market. At the top of their agenda needs to be reforming current tax policies that hurt homeowners and businesses, including repealing recent increases to the realty transfer fee (RTF). It is also crucial that our elected officials take steps to reform our state’s broken property tax system. Now more than ever, Trenton needs to partner with the real estate industry to ensure the financial stability of our state."      |

Cheesesteaks All Around - Philadelphia Phillies World Champions 2008!!!
Title: Cheesesteaks All Around © Mark V. Krajnak 2008 | All Rights Reserved 28 years. 15 years. When you’re a Philadelphia sports fan, you measure things in years. As a Phillie fan, I know that it’s been 28 years since the Phillies won the world series, 25 years since a major championship (sorry Jon Bon Jovi, the Arena Bowl championship doesn’t quite cut it), and 15 years since the Phillies were last in the World Series. On Wednesday, when evening temps were closer to 40 degrees than 50 degrees, and a light drizzle was enveloping the City of Brotherly Love, Brad “Light’s Out” Lidge did for the 48th consecutive time what he’s been doing all season: Saving a win for the Philadelphia Phillies. But this one was different. This one opened the floodgates of Phandemonium. This one exorcised demons that had long strangled the Philadelphia sports fan. I was 10 in 1980, when a heart-tapping, glove thumping screwball pitcher named Tug McGraw last put the Philadelphia baseball fan into a state of delirium. With a tired arm, he willed a fastball past Willie Wilson of the Kansas City Royals and the Phillies celebrated a World Championship. Now, 28 years later, I was able to see Brad “Light’s Out” Lidge stride from the bullpen into one of the strangest, yet most interesting, World Series games in recent memory. A few days earlier, while throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, Tug’s son, country singing star Tim, spread a handful of his dad’s ashes (Tug passed in 2004, succumbing to cancer) on the mound at Citizens’ Bank Park in Philadelphia. It had to help because the Phillies could always use any help they can get. They aren’t the mighty Yankees. They aren’t the favorite sons like the Red Sox. They are a blue-collar, working class team that has endured for over 100 years and produced many years of losses. Yet their fan base stays. Why? I honestly don’t know. This season, I even “took a break” from them for two weeks. I didn’t want to divorce or break up with them…I just needed a break from sporadic play and weak line drives. And yet, I always come back to the red-and-white. Cole Hammels. Carlos Ruiz. Ryan Howard. Chase Utley. Jimmy Rollins., Pedro Feliz. Pat Burrell. Shane Victorino. Jayson Werth. This starting nine will walk together for ever as champions. They will never have to pay for another dinner or drink in the the city of Philadelphia. Wednesday night was their St. Crispin’s Day. And they made us fans proud. Thanks, Phillies. Your fans appreciate it. (I took this photo of Jimmy Rollins on July 4, 2008, when the Phillies played the New York Mets. While Jimmy didn’t have the greatest of World Series’, he’s their spark. As JRoll goes, so goes the Phillies.)

Upper Freehold New Jersey Real Estate - Client Testimonial
About 6 Months ago my husband and I were having difficulty with selling our beautiful house. The problem was not our house; it was the real estate people we were dealing with. I was helpless and began searching for an honest realtor who would listen to our problems and feel as we did. Well I found them,Desiree Daniels and Albert Sodaro of RE/MAX Tri County. When I read their testimonials I knew there was someone out there that could help us. We were in a situation where we had to leave for Florida and needed to sell our house or be stuck in financial ruin. Sympathetic and professional Desiree came to our rescue. She told us the facts, the way they were, and helped to reassure us that this too will pass. Well a short time thereafter, it did. I thank them everyday in my prayers. They calmed us down and helped with whatever we needed done on the New Jersey side, especially because we were so far away. I dont ever want to have to sell another house again, but if I had to, Desiree and Al would be the two that I would trust. My husband & I left to relocate to another state and were completely confident that they would take care of my asset. AND THEY DID!! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
