Jennifer it looks like the lower price homes are doing better in 2010 than the higher price homes. That also seems to be some what of a trend around here.
George that is true and obviously driven by first time buyers.
Hi Jennifer, I love your graphs. A great Market Report for your area. Looks like your sales are up in January, and I believe that's always good news.
Mary that is a good start to the year and we hope the positive trend continues.
Hi Jennifer. Ah, I see that you have chart-talent too! Very different from mine and just as informative.
I miss driving through Red Bank on my way to Sandy Hook. Of course I wouldn't be headed there this time of year!
Aloha & best wishes.
I suspect the drop in sales was more seasonal than anything else? Hopefully the Spring is going to bring far better sales figures.
Jennifer,
Seems that 2010 it's getting better on prices, very informative real estate market charts, keep the good work ! :)
Jennifer, Consumers will love this report and find it useful. Glad homes are selling in your area.
