It’s hard out there for a millennial navigating the housing market.
If you’re an American man or woman under the age of 35, there’s a historically large chance that you’re living with your parents. And if not, you’re very likely to be renting, and paying too much for the privilege. Only 34.8 percent of young adult households actually own their home, the smallest fraction since at least 1994, and among those who are forking over cash to a landlord, nearly half are considered “rent burdened”—meaning housing eats up around a third or more of their income.
And what about those who’d at least like to buy? Well, there’s a pretty good probability they’re getting boxed out of the market. On top of the challenges posed by tough post-crash mortgage standards, Bloomberg reports Thursday that prices for typical starter homes have been on a tear due to a lack of supply, and are now actually above their past bubbly heights:
Prices for the least expensive previously owned homes—properties at 75 percent or less of the median—were up 10.7 percent in August from a year earlier and now represent the only one of four price tiers to surpass the peak reached during the housing bubble, according to a housing index from CoreLogic Inc. The August pace was 5.9 percent above its pre-recession high in October 2006.
Why are cheap houses getting so expensive? Because nobody’s building them, for starters. In the years immediately following the recession, there was a sense among many urban planners and others in the real estate industry that developers would have to shelve their McMansion blueprints and start marketing smaller, more affordable new homes—possibly in slightly urban or at least walkable settings—in order to adjust to millennial tastes and finances. But that hasn’t really happened, even as more young adults have hit home-buying age. Instead, builders, convinced that all the market really craves is size, seem to have gone back to erecting large houses in far-out subdivisions. The median new home hit a record square footage in the first quarter of 2015, and shrank only slightly in the spring.

Property taxes vary substantially around the United States, both among states and even within states. Property taxes are levied at the state and local level, but they are also typically deductible on federal returns as an itemized deduction on Schedule A for taxpayers who elect to itemize their deductions.
As a result, the IRS has substantial data on property taxes around the country. The map below shows the average property tax deduction taken on the Schedule A, per tax return, for each county in the United States.
While this is not exactly equivalent to the average property tax collections at the state level (which are higher because some taxpayers don’t itemize) the map shows a pretty good, broad, apples-to-apples comparison of property taxes across the country.
Looking at the map, some obvious things stand out. For example, the border between Pennsylvania and New York stands out; this should come as no surprise to readers of ourState Business Tax Climate Index, which puts New York fourth overall in property tax collections per capita. The most heavily-shaded state is New Jersey, which has the highest property tax collections per capita. And lastly, even within states, property taxes can vary a great deal from county to county. For example, they vary a great deal within Illinois, as we pointed out in our latest study of taxes in the state.

A right to ownership and possession of a home that remains with a person who believes he or she has lost the property as a result of foreclosure. A zombie title is a title to real property that happens when a lender initiates foreclosure proceedings by issuing a notice of foreclosure and then unexpectedly dismisses the foreclosure.
If the person is unaware of the foreclosure dismissal, he or she will be left holding a zombie title. A lender may decide to dismiss the foreclosure for a variety of reasons, including a surplus of inventory, if the costs associated with a foreclosure cannot justify its costs or if the lender does not want to take possession of the home.
The number of U.S. houses left vacant because of foreclosure fell 43 percent in the third quarter compared with the same period last year, yet New Jersey’s share of these so-called zombies keeps it at the top of a national list. Alan J. Heavens, Philadelphia Inquirer Read more
$5.95M Ridgewood, NJ Estate w/ Doggy Spa to Auction on October 24th
October 15,2015
Ridgewood, NJ DeCaro Luxury Auctions has announced the absolute auction of 150 Brookside Avenue in Ridgewood, New Jersey on October 24, 2015. The eight-bedroom, eight-full and three-half bathroom American classic, shingle style estate features two acres of land and a guest apartment, all of which will be auctioned to the highest bidder without reserve on auction day.
“150 Brookside Avenue in Ridgewood, New Jersey offers homebuyers the beauty of a historic home with Victorian and Colonial influences. The entire estate was built with the precision of a condo building, yet exudes the space, privacy and family-friendly atmosphere of a home in an affluent suburban neighborhood,” said Daniel DeCaro, CEO and founder of DeCaro Luxury Auctions. “Owners of this Ridgewood home will have the best of both worlds – grounds that feel like a tranquil park, yet you’re only 30 minutes from Manhattan.”
The 15,000-square-foot estate sits on two-acres of lush green lawns with native trees, flowering gardens and several entertaining areas including a playhouse with a microwave and a refrigerator as well as an entertaining cabin complete with electricity, an additional kitchen, a gas fireplace and heat.
Custom Bluestone rock retaining walls line the exterior of the property, which is recognized for its authentic copper gutters and a second – story wraparound veranda overlooking the grounds. All of this enclosed by a beautifully crafted wrought iron fence along the perimeter of the property and intricately – detailed wrought-iron entry gates hand – forged by a French craftsman.
Fine attention to detail carries throughout the home, which was built with a myriad of handcrafted accents by local artists. For example, the entrance of 150 Brookside Avenue features a vestibule with canvas walls that were hand-painted with a nature scene by artist Ornella Muth. Stained glass windows also adorn a variety of doors and windows carrying a unified nature theme throughout the estate. Throughout the home, hand-crafted windows also feature solid mahogany woodwork, copper flashing and antique brass pulley systems.
The master suite is complete with a fireplace, a private terrace and an oversized walk-in closet with built-in shoe racks and garment shelves, as well as a center island. The home’s gourmet kitchen features Viking and Miele appliances, a six-burner stove and a breakfast bar with seating for four. A butler’s pantry with a wine refrigerator is also situated between the home’s kitchen and dining room.
Living areas in the home include a play room with a turret ceiling and built-in bench seating; an English walnut chapel with vaulted ceilings; a third-story library with antique cherry wood floors and 200-year-old English elm beams; and a study with a fireplace and mahogany walls featuring gold-leaf trim.
The estate’s basement is complete with a large room with a full kitchen and French doors that open to the lush backyard and serves as an indoor/outdoor entertaining area; a one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest apartment with a kitchenette; a screening room with theater-style seating for 12; and a fully equipped exercise room with a sauna.
Additional amenities include a hospital-grade air filtration system that purifies the home of allergens; radiant heating with a forced hot air system; a control room containing dashboards for the lighting, alarm, temperature, air and audio-visual systems within the home; an onsite well that maintains the property’s lawn; and an automatic snow- and ice-melting system in the driveway and in all the walkways.
Behind the property, a brook sits flush to the lawn, creating separation and privacy. A separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest apartment with a kitchenette also sits above a two-car garage, which is adjacent to the home’s attached three-car garage.
Located in the heart of Ridgewood, New Jersey, the estate is minutes from the shops, cafés and restaurants that make up downtown Ridgewood. Just 20 miles from Midtown Manhattan, New York City is also easily accessible from the home, which is one mile from the Ridgewood stop on New Jersey Transit. Ridgewood, known for its top-tier public and private schools, is located in Bergen County, one of the wealthiest counties in the United States according to the latest US Census Report.
150 Brookside Avenue is open for prospective buyers to view beginning on Saturday, October 3, 2015 and continuing every Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. until auction day. The last scheduled open house will be held the day before the auction on Friday, October 23, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Additional private tours are also available by calling DeCaro Luxury Auctions at 1.800.332.3767.

The number of days it takes to sell a single family home in northern NJ continues to decline. source: NJMLS. Info deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Its way cheaper and comfortable for a senior to stay in your moderate sized house with no mortgage vs. apartment or condo, just expenses of property taxes, (get the NJ senior freeze) usual monthly electric, gas, cable, insurance etc. bills, with expected seasonal maintenance lawn, snow removal. There could a major replacement costs if one needs a new roof after 20+ yrs,.or if property taxes get ridiculous.. As a senior, my preference is the privacy of my own home, would never like apartment living or even consider it. If things get to expensive, move south Jersey to retirement villages with new house.
When you get to the stage where one can’t manage on their own, age related or physical, either home care is preferable, or next step assisted livings runs average $5,000 month and up, they are a gimick, my mom was in one before needing a nursing home $12 -15,000 month. A 92 yr.old neighbor went to Cupola assisted living just last year, was $5,000 month. Hope I’m gone before my money gets pissed away to one of those places.

THE RECORD
Home prices continue to edge up in the New York metropolitan area, rising 2.8 percent in June compared with a year earlier, the S&P/Case-Shiller index said Tuesday.
Nationally, prices were more buoyant, rising 4.5 percent over the year.
Despite the recent gains, home values in the region, which includes North Jersey, are still no higher than they were 11 years ago, in September 2004. They are still almost 17 percent below their mid-2006 peaks in the region. Nationally, home prices have returned to the levels of winter 2005 nationwide, and remain 12 percent to 14 percent below their peaks.
“Nationally, home prices continue to rise at a 4-5 percent annual rate, two to three times the rate of inflation,” said David M. Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. He said that the Federal Reserve’s signals that it will raise interest rates this year could lead to higher mortgage rates, which will make buying a home more difficult.
“A quarter-point increase in the Fed funds rate won’t derail housing,” Blitzer said. “However, if the Fed were to quickly follow that initial move with one or two more rate increases, housing and home prices might suffer.”
Michael Shetler, top agent with Keller Williams Ridgewood
Everyone knows someone in real estate today. But is that person the right person to represent you in a real estate transaction? Before you start the process of selling or buying, choose the right REALTOR®. But just how do you go about evaluating real estate agents? It can be summarized in four points – Resources, Service, Marketing Expertise and Ethics. Select me and I’ll guarantee to surpass your expectations in all four areas.
A well-equipped internet specialist.
This is the Information Age. But having information and using it well aren’t the same thing. I’ll be at your side with the latest market statistics, sales figures and developments to help expertly guide you through your transaction. As an internet specialist, I know where the information is and how to analyze it. In addition, Keller Williams provides me with internet tools and real estate services that aren’t available from other companies.
Attentive, responsive, diligent. (And patient.)
Most realtors come across as attentive and eager to serve you in the first meeting. Not all follow through that way to closing. I’ll be readily available to you during the week and on weekends. I will respond to your questions, phone calls, faxes and email in a timely manner. I’ll work as hard in the 3rd month as I will in the first week. But I’ll also be patient if it takes you awhile to find the right house or if your transaction takes longer than normal.
A picture is worth ten thousand words. Which is why I place so much emphasis on taking great photos of your home. I’ll professionally shoot them, crop them, and adjust the color and brightness to make the first impression as powerful as can be. After all, over 80% of buyers start their search online. I even have my own proprietary virtual tour format. Your home will be presented by me with multiple photos on Realtor.com (as a featured listing), KW.com, NJMLS.com, BuyingInBergen.com and more than a hundred other sites. The photos will also be used in specially prepared flyers.
Integrity in real estate?
Look for integrity in both your Associate and her/his brokerage company. I bring small town, strong family ethics to the table. I also have a history of long term client relationships as a former small business owner.
For a consultation about selling your home, call me at 201.421.0506 cell or 201.445.4300 office.
