While wandering through Wyckoff --- only 7 square miles and is within 27 miles of mid-town Manahatten. It was first settled in the early 18th Century. The town name, a combination of words derived from the Indian word for high ground "wickoff" or "wickok" which means water. The population is approximately 16,500 residents.

The town features many types of beautiful homes featuring a blend of old and new all set on neatly measured lots which adds to the appeal of this small suburban town. Dutch Colonials, wonderful capes and sprawling center halls are amongst the featured architectural styles within the neighborhoods.

Wyckoff offers an abundance of parks and recreational activities for all its residents. Whether it's games that engender competition, the serenity of a woodchip nature trail for the solitary athlete, a peaceful quiet setting of a rose garden, or the educational environment of a wildlife center for an entire family to enjoy; the vitality of Wyckoff has many sources and resources. Town parks include WYCKOFF COMMUNITY PARK, Wyckoff Community Playground, the Municipal Complex, a Nature Center and more.

Here is a peek at the data as it relates to sales in Ramsey, New Jersey. Over 102 homes have either SOLD or come under contract in the last 6 months. The average sale price is $ 654,192 and the average days on market for homes SOLD was 128 ( yet look at the DOM for the homes currently under contract - 76 days). Perhaps this is better pricing leading to quicker days on market or perhaps it is just the Spring market...springing ahead for 2008.

Pricing your home well = the key to sales and length of time on the market.

Okay, call me cra-zy... but crunching a few market stats this morning is great food for thought for the real estate market in 2008 --- in New Jersey --- anyway. It is also a great way to PLAN your marketing strategy for 2008 as well as the marketing plan for your sellers or buyers.

Now, I am not a numbers addict, per say.... BUT, that said ....our success is really in the data. And, to quote a very good friend of mine - Linda Dulye, president of L.M.Dulye & Co., "The old axiom is ‘you get what you measure,'" and she always goes on to say, "If that's so, then if you're measuring nothing, that's exactly what you can expect to get." --- I am sure she is grinning from ear-to-ear because she loves when someone else catches the DATA fever.

Without data, you forfeit the ability to:

• assess performance

• determine priorities

• set goals

• develop relevant strategies

• make informed decisions

• be accountable

• IMPROVE PERFORMANCE!!!

Most importantly --- data helps you know your market, your business and helps you help your buyers and sellers particularly in this type of market.

Now all of that....leads me to the information below on Franklin Lakes. Over the last 6 months over 88 homes have SOLD in Franklin Lakes for an average sales price of $ 1,569,519 with an average days on market of 195 days. Again, similar to SADDLE RIVER, homes in the multi-million dollar range take longer to sell than those under the million dollar mark BUT priced well they sell and if they are of a perceived value....they sell.
