MarketWatch has reported that resales of U.S. single-family homes and condos rose 3.6% in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.89 million, the highest level since last October, the National Association of Realtors reported Thursday. Resales have risen for three straight months.

The housing market appears to be healing, said Lawrence Yun, the NAR chief economist. The increase was higher than expected.

Inventories of unsold homes are still elevated and putting pressure on prices. The inventory of unsold homes on the market fell to a 9.4 month supply at the June sales pace, down from 9.8 months in May. Yun said that inventories would have to be at a 7 month supply to get price stabilization.

The median sales prices fell 15.4% in the past year to $181,800. Resale activity is concentrated in lower-priced home as a result of tax incentives, analysts said. Distressed properties (meaning short sales, foreclosures and bank owned properties) accounted for 31% of sales in June.

Another important thing to note is that in New Jersey, the number of home sales in the month of June 2009 increased by a whopping 12% more than the number of home sales for June 2008. In addition, there is now a nine-month inventory of homes for sale in NJ; that number was 16.9 months in January. That is an astounding 41% improvement in the amount of homes just sitting on the market that were unsold!

There are new signs that have gone up on Union Hill Road in Manalapan that if you go above speed limit, there is mandatory court appearance required. I have seen a number of people pulled over. So I just wanted to inform you of what's going on if you are driving in that area. MAKE SURE YOU WATCH YOUR SPEEDOMETER WHILE DRIVING ON UNION HILL ROAD. I hope this information helps you drive carefully and avoid a speeding ticket and court appearance.

Best Wishes,

I know that Congress and the President want to come up with universal health care. And, true it is very important for people to have coverage. But another tax? Even subsidized health care benefits cost you money. I don't know anyone anymore who has totally free coverage. So you pay something up front to have the coverage, then there are deductibles that you have to pay, and not everything is covered. Now on top of that, we may have to pay an additional tax. What do you think of this? I value your comments.

Manalapan is a great town to live in. It is located in Monmouth County, NJ. One of the developments in northern Manalapan is Woodland Green. This development was built in the 1970's and is on or close to Union Hill Rd. This is a great location for commuters. There is a bus that stops on Union Hill Rd near the development, and there is the park and ride on route 9. There are several different models in this development such as a bi-level, split, a couple of different split colonials (the Newport and Hampton models), colonial and center-hall colonial. If you would like further information about this wonderful development of 4-5 bedroom houses, please call me, Phyllis Katz, Weichert Realtors, 455 Route 9
