These are just preliminary closed sale numbers, as we are still compiling the data on pending transactions, and year over year change, but since I know many of you anticipate this information at the start of each month, here are some numbers for Westfield NJ Real Estate for the month ending March 2008.

Closed Sales: 18

Average Sales Price: $711,416

Average Days on Market: 87

Average List to Sale Price Ratio: 96.3%

In isolation, these numbers show a healthy balance of buyers and sellers with the days on market, however, we really can't judge what this means for the state of the market, until we compare these numbers with prior years, and also look at how many homes are actively listed, versus how many actually sold. Expect those numbers in the next week or so.

Westfield

Westfield is an attractive suburban community located about 25 miles southwest of New York City. It offers a small town environment with many diverse historical, cultural, recreational, educational, and social activities. Westfield has a rich Colonial history, and is noted for its beautiful downtown area, excellent school system and its convienient commute to New York City and the shore. It offers all the classic features of small town life: friendly tree-lined streets with single family colonial and Victorian homes, a New England style village green, and an old-fashioned atmosphere.

In 1664 English Long Islanders purchased the Elizabethtown tract from the Leni Lenape indians, and in 1693 officially became Elizabeth Township. By 1720 Westfield had become a distinct settlement. 41 years later Elizabeth was chartered as a Borough, in which Westfield was a voting ward.

During the American Revolution the patriots of the West fields of Elizabethtown evacuated livestock into the Watchung mountains as the British Army passed nearby in December of 1776. The British

attacked Springfield that same month, with one column passing through Westfield. Westfield was maintained as a command post for much of this period. On June, 1777, the village was occupied and looted by the main British Army. The Westfielders later participated in the victorious Battle of Springfield in 1780.

In 1794 Westfield spun off to become a separate municipality and in 1903 was formerly incorporated with a Township form of government.

Westfield has easy access to NYC with its own train station (Rail Service: Amtrac, Metroliner, NJ Transit, and Path) as well as area bus service (Grayhound, NJ Transit, and Surburban Transit).

Culturally there is much to enjoy in Westfield. The town has its own symphony orchestra, theatrical and dance groups and more than 50 clubs and organizations. Each Memorial Day weekend, approximately 3,000 families visit to participate in the Westfield Memorial Soccer Cup. Merchants and restaurateurs work cooperatively to bring visitors from the soccer fields to downtown. On warm summer nights, Westfielders enjoy open-air concerts in Mindowaskin Park, one of several area parks totalling 211 acres. The annual Festifall Street Fair attracts 30,000 visitors. After Thanksgiving, Westfield kicks off a month-long holiday celebration, "Welcome Home to Westfield," with the lighting of the Town tree.

Devils Fan??? Living in Cranford or Westfield NJ is Perfect!!

Tonight, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to go to the new Prudential Center in downtown Newark, NJ to see hockey's New Jersey Devils take on the Buffalo Sabres. I have to admit, I am not a Devils Fan, in fact, having grown up outside Philadelphia, I grew up hating the Devils, mainly because they won too much. Anyway...I digress...

I am excited as a resident of Westfield, NJ to simply hop on New Jersey Transit at the Westfield Station (less than a half mile from me, so I can walk) and take the train right to Newark Penn Station, where I am told there is a nice pedestrian walkway to the arena. Living in Westfield, Cranford, or anywhere along these train lines is probably the #1 or #2 reason (schools) why our property values have outperformed the other parts of NJ and national real estate market. Thus, you will never be sorry you bought in a quality community like Cranford, Westfield, or Berkeley Heights, NJ.

While I can't say I will be rooting for the Devils tonight, I will surely have a good time, as I am being treated by a client and a friend so it will be great to catch up...I pay for golf, he pays for sporting events. :)
