Total Hoboken condo availability now is at 469 units. With 22 accepted offers last week, this translates into a 21.3 week inventory at last weeks pace. This is a reduction from the 29 week inventory of the previous weeks statistics.

The market is still active in the under $750,000 market.

Why do we get up in the morning to work in the Hoboken real estate market?

So much bad news!

We've all heard the headlines. "Inflation roars its ugly head"; "Worst economy since the Great Depression!"; "Foreclosures hit an all time high!" It's amazing how we get up in the morning to go to work!

Here's my take on this.

"High oil prices perfectly positioned Hoboken for continued success!" I like that headline!

There have been recent trends of people opting to stay close to employment and entertainment centers and the high cost of oil will continue to "fuel" this demand.

Hoboken's prime location positions it perfectly to take advantage of this trend and should help keep the real estate picture stable for the foreseeable future.

With a multitude of commuting options into Manhattan and other high density employment hubs in New Jersey, Hoboken with its PATH trains, ferries, buses, New Jersey Transit trains, light-rail system and double tunnel system into Manhattan offers it's residents easy access to these centers, often times saving workers hours of time compared with their suburban brethren.

Combine this with increased improvements to infrastructure and lifestyle amenities such as the new Pier Park C, The W Hotel Hoboken, refurbishment of the Erie Lackawanna ferry terminal, new 5 screen movie theater and the upgrading of buildings, retail and restaurants, Hoboken should be the golden pot at the end of the rainbow of the otherwise stormy national picture.

All this and we have great housing selection, prices and mortgage rates!

That's why I get up to work in the Hoboken market every morning!
