Watch Bergen County’s first LIVE open house broadcast on Sunday, 9/13

11792071_10153659948899722_7606997767675837185_o

 

Starting at 12pm next Sunday, September 13th, I’ll be hosting the first LIVE open house in Bergen County. The broadcast will feature my listing at 126 Cortland Drive in Saddle River Grand, a 5,210 square foot townhouse offered at $2,200,000.

You can tune in from any mobile device. Just download Persicope, a free app, onto any mobile device and follow me @buyinginbergen. You’ll receive an alert when the broadcast begins. FYI, the event will not be open to walk-in guests as Saddle River Grand is a gated community.

Be sure to watch until the end when I’ll make a special announcement.

For home sellers, a live open house tour offers many benefits. It helps get your listing in front of more people, introduces buyers to your property in a more intimate fashion and creates word of mouth publicity among agents and buyers.

For those interested in technology, my live open house tour will offer a smooth video experience free of camera shake – I’ll be using a Swiftcam M3s handheld gimbal with my iPhone 6.

I hope you can join me on September 13th. If you’re not available at 12 pm, the video will be available on Periscope and Twitter for 24 hours. After that, look for it on YouTube.com/mshetler.

SELLING IN BERGEN COUNTY?

Michael Shetler,

Are you thinking about selling in Bergen County?

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.

Sophisticated marketing strategies, powerful presentation.

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.

HOMES: SALES ACTIVITY UP 20% IN JUNE

Michael Shetler,

July 23, 2015 By Michael Shetler

The New Jersey MLS (NJMLS) has released its market report for June, 2015. The number of homes under contract in June was up 20% over the same month last year.

Download: June Housing Market Update for Northern New Jersey (pdf)

That’s a startling number considering last year’s spring market was very healthy.

Year to date, Essex County experienced the biggest increase in sales activity across northern New Jersey, with an 18.3% increase in residential properties under contract. In Bergen County, residential sales increased by 11.3%.

Despite the increased activity, median sales prices have been fairly flat. YTD, the median sold price for residential sales in 2015 is up only 0.3% in Bergen County.  Across all areas in northern New Jersey, the increase was 1.6%. Those numbers may increase in July as the large number of June contracts begin to close.

The number of new listings increased in June by 10.9%. While that may initially be cause for concern, the absorption rate has actually decreased during the same period. The absorption rate is a measure of the inventory of homes on the market – the number of months supply of homes currently listed for sale. The absorption rate for residential properties decreased by 4.3% in June over the same period last year. For condos and townhouses, a subset of this group, the absorption rate increased by 1.4%. Still, the rate for condos/townhouses is nearly the same as that of residential properties overall.

Download: June Housing Market Update for Northern New Jersey (pdf)

Absorption rates for residential categories are in the range of 6.8 to 7.0 months, which is a healthy number. In the more desirable parts of northern New Jersey, the rates are much lower.
For housing data within a specific village, borough or city, please call Michael Shetler at 201-421-0506 cell or 201-445-4300 x231 office.

Proxio also enables local real estate agents to network with agents from around the world.

Where are the lowest property taxes in Bergen County?

Bergen County property tax info released for 2014-15.

The state of New Jersey has just released tax rates for every municipality in the state. Before you look at the chart below, can you guess which Bergen County towns have the highest and lowest property taxes?

Ok, now you can look. If you guessed “Paramus” has the lowest, you would be partially right. While it’s eighth on the list, it qualifies as the lowest taxed borough with affordable home prices. Alpine, Saddle River, Englewood Cliffs, Rockleigh, Edgewater and Franklin Lakes all have an average list price above $1 million. (Teterboro essentially has no single family homes.) In Paramus, the average list is in the $600k range.

On the other end of the spectrum with an effective tax rate more than five times higher than Alpine’s isBogota. The general tax rate in Bogota is 3.630 and and its effective tax rate is 3.222.

What’s the difference between the two rates?

The general tax rate doesn’t take into account that your home’s assessed value is not equal to its market value. If your tax rate is high but your assessed value ratio is low, your taxes aren’t as high as you think they are – you’re not being taxed on the full value of your home!

So if you’re comparing tax rates between towns, use the effective tax rate.

The equalization ratio in the chart is simply an average of the area’s assessed value divided by the market value. The general tax rate is multiplied by the equalization ratio to get the effective tax rate. (Also see this video on comparing tax rates.)

If you’re thinking of buying in Bergen County, call me for a consultation. I’ll give you an overview on how taxes and other factors such as quality of schools, commuting options and population density should figure into your buying decision.
