July is here!! and so is the heat!! atleast here in North Jersey, we have had a lot of heat and sometimes a lot of rain. But it is summer. So the real estate market has been strong still for sellers, and landlords!! Rents have been flying!! and getting higher. I feel most of the business I have been seeing is rental only. (not a bad thing) but it just goes to show how prices have reflected the rental market. We have a new "mansion Tax" going into effect on July 10. Basically:

"The updated law applies to transfers of residential, commercial, certain farm properties, and cooperative units sold for more than $2 million. It also applies to non-deed transfers of controlling interests in entities that directly or indirectly own commercial property,…

Hey there my awesome supporters, 


Hope you're having a wonderful day!!! And yes, you read that right!! Welcome June, Can you believe we are already half way through 2025?? Time really does fly as you get older. Well the market has been still pretty strong for sellers. I know many articles have been stating that there is a lot more inventory sitting on the market than ever before ( or the atleast the last 5 years). BUT not NJ, or atleast North Jersey, Our market I feel is still competitive in many parts, I just had a few offers get rejected in Lyndhurst and Saddlebrook.

Welcome Guys, it has been a while since I last wrote, but the market has drastically changed over the las couple of years. I'm sure if you've been in the market to buy or sell, you know what I'm talking about. Rates have gone up and down, but lately have remained pretty high if we are to average out the last ten years. But as I have always said, fi you can afford to buy a house now, do it. We cant predict how the market will be a year from now, or how high rates will go, or if they will drop. Im sure you've noticed rents have gone up significantly over the last few years as well, so it makes buying a house that much more appealing, why pay high rent if you can pay a little more and own it. 

Now if you're in the market to sell your home, we all know…

Hey Folks, 


Steven Lartiga-My Awesome Realtor here, with a new way to communicate to you all. I was going to wait until the new year but why wait when we can do it now. Well it's already December, and it feels like this year went by so fast. We have seen many phases of the market over the last 5 years, from not so much demand, to unrealistic levels. Homes have appreciated much faster and higher than ever before and they're only continuing to get higher. The real estate market has been great to those who have bought before 2020, as many got their homes with not only a great market price at the time, but also a low interest rate. We have seen interest rates go from 4 percent to 2.5 percent back in 2020, to now 7.5-8% in 2023. So when they say real…
