Is it common to have a drain-hole in the basement. I found this is a newly constructed home,NJ

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 04:39:00 GMT

Found this while viewing a newly constructed home in south NJ. It had a pump-stations nearby and the realtor was saying all homes in the development have such a circular hole (size of hoola-hoop) which people cover-up on their own. Is this normal?

Is the Timing Right to Buy Woodbridge Real Estate in Middlesex County, New Jersey?

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:33:00 GMT

There are many wonderful reasons to want a home of your own. Right now is an excellent time to pick up a great deal on Woodbridge real estate. It's definitely a Strong buyer's market where you can purchase New Jersey homes at historically low prices.
To be sure the time is right for you, answer a few simple questions for yourself:Are you ready to stay put for more than three years?If you move around a lot, have a job that sends you to different locales all the time, or just haven't found the area you want to settle down in, it can be a bad time to buy Woodbridge real estate no matter how great the price. Selling a home and moving is much harder than just switching apartments or other rental units. However, if you are ready to settle in a spot for a number of years, the value you get from owning your own home is well worth it, especially now.

Can you afford it?
There's more to owning a home than just the cost of the mortgage. Other costs added to a typical mortgage include homeowner's insurance and property taxes. These add hundreds of dollars a month to the simple mortgage costs. On top of those are routine repairs and upkeep that will be your responsibility instead of a landlord's.

Do you value the pride of ownership?
For many people, the pride of owning their own home is a primary factor in purchasing Woodbridge real estate in Middlesex County. There is a feeling of success and security when you own your home that won't be fulfilled with any rental.If you'd like help determining if the right time for you to buy a home is now, contact me now.

I need rec. for an agent in woodbridge, nj

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:32:00 GMT

Hi,
I am using an agent to search a few towns over. I want to use a local agent with more knowledge of local comps. When I asked him to recommend someone there he said he can show me places there. I don't think that's his area of expertise though. What should I do? Does anybody have a rec. for a local realtor that knows Woodbridge, NJ?
