Piscataway Condos For Sale
If you're a do-it-yourself kind of person who really likes getting your hands dirty, now is a great opportunity to find a piece of Piscataway Real Estate in New Jersey you can enjoy. As an occasional DIYer myself, I know how hard it can be to find that perfect piece of fixer-upper real estate, but here are a few tips on what to look for:
1. More ground than house - Almost every do-it-yourselfer I've ever met enjoyed puttering in a garden and beautifying a yard. Not only can it be relaxing, but done right it can also up the value of your Piscataway Real Estate if you decide to sell later. Having a beautified yard increase the value of the property is much easier to do if you have a large amount of ground to work with.
2. Expansion possibilities - If it's a small house (or even a large one), estimate how much room there might be for building an extension. Sunrooms, an extra bedroom, widening small rooms - everything is a possibility if you have the land and skills necessary.
3. Wear and tear - While you probably don't want a piece of Piscataway real estate that's falling down around you, a little bit of wear and tear isn't bad. Walls that need to be painted, ceilings that need spackling and little things like this give you plenty of room to get dirty without wiping out your budget. A warning, however. Make sure you get a place with a little wear and tear, not a money pit.
4. Lots of small rooms - Nobody likes a small room. However, if there are a few of them, you have the option of being able to knock down non-load-bearing walls to expand. The nice thing about this is that you can rearrange the inside of the house to fit you.
DIY can be a blast and having a house you can turn into a dream house makes the finished product all that more satisfying!

Middlesex County Real Estate Market Commentary for JULY 2009 New Jersey - Part II and Final
Both median and average sold prices are staying at the same levels versus last month with 12%-14% decrease from last year prices.
SP/AP ratio is staying at 95%. In average, sellers are accepting offers at 95% of their last asking price. Please note that I mentioned "last asking price" and not "original asking price".
Another important real estate statistic is Days on Market or DOM which has decreased down to 76 days. Meaning that it takes less than 3 months in average to go under contract. A word of caution with this indicator as it is not a cumulative DOM. This is a good example of the better value of looking at those statistics, which is more in the trend analysis than in a specific number at a specific given time.
That's the end of our local market commentary based on Middlesex County real estate statistics. As always, contact me if any questions.

Middlesex County Real Estate Market Commentary Part I
For Middlesex County, the number of new homes listed in July has decreased over 9% compare to new homes listed in June. It is well under last year's number as well (-13.52%). This is very positive for Middlesex County real estate market in general as we need to reduce the inventory to move into a more balanced market.
The Active Inventory as we follow it (homes for sale not including "under attorney reviews") has slightly decreased to 2727 homes currently for sale in Middlesex County following a high in April with 2874 homes for sale.
This month's absorption rate (416 per month) or number of sold homes has increased 9.24% versus last month after a 41% increase from May. January and February absorption rates averaged 165 homes sold. This month's absorption rate is also 16% higher than last year. Buyers are definitely profiting from the grants, incentives available and the overall homes prices decrease.
Days of Inventory (DOI) is another big winner with a 13 % decrease versus June, following a 32% decrease versus May. At 203 days, it means it would take over 6 months to sell all existing inventory at the same rate. DOI has been consistently decreasing since January. A market with over 6 months supply would usually qualify as a buyer's market. A market with less than 6 months of supply would usually qualify as a seller's market. This decrease is very important to note as DOI is an important variable in the monitoring of local real estate markets and our real estate barometer.
