Laurie, Just Looking in 07432

Next question--Is it better to just keep renting if I don't plan to stay in the area more than a year or two?

Asked Thu Jul 17 2008, 11:31 by Laurie  -  07432  -  Home Buying  -  6 answers
John Sacktig answered:
Does the house suit your needs and wants? Can you absorb the additional 400 per month? Is this a great buy that will appreciate when the market rebounds in 2009 -10 ?

Janadeen, Home Buyer in New York

We've lived in Brooklyn for over a decade and are now looking to buy in NJ.

Asked Sat Jul 12 2008, 22:08 by Janadeen  -  07003  -  Home Buying  -  11 answers
John Sacktig answered:
Hi Jandeen,

In my area, as I understand it 65% of my local taxes go to the school system. So I weighed the $ amount for me in particular, my house, yard and amenities, location of East Brunswick and great neighborhood and as I said, this versus sending my kids to "private" school @ 3500 each it works out to be the same.

Don't get me wrong, I miss Brooklyn... and I still go backl every 4 weeks to get a haircut on New Utrecht Ave, have pizza, pick up cheeses and bagels.... so it works out : )

Call me and we can discuss further, I can show you around the area and see some homes.

I moved from Brooklyn 6 years ago, Bensonhurst. I wanted some grass, a yard and central A/C. I also planned it around my first child going to school. As I looked at into East Brunswick, a highly rated public school system was the point. 65% of the taxes here go to the school system. Either way, If I stayed in Brooklyn and sent my kids to Our Lady of Guadalupe..@ 3500 per child... do the math. It paid off and still does, I am 10 minutes from Rutgers, 20 minutes from Princeton. The commute into the city is great and East Brunswick is a great place to live.

Better schools and a better environment for the kids = higher taxes - Mon Jul 14 2008, 06:53
Kim, Just Looking in 07403

Does the market slow down in the summer? We had alot of showings in April-June and hardly any now.

Asked Mon Jul 14 2008, 11:24 by Kim  -  07403  -  Market Conditions  -  9 answers
John Sacktig answered:
Typically July is slow and August picks up. Most people look in April - June and look for July closings. Then comes vacation time for most people.. and then the people that did not buy in the spring for early summer closing seem to get back out in August to close before school opens.

Be on top of your realtor to be sure your home is being marketd properly. - Mon Jul 14 2008, 11:55
