What happened last month?
These numbers are deceiving, since one home, which was a short sale and in very poor condition, sold at significantly under the asking price. Most buyers walked away from this home due to the amount of work which needed to be done.

It appears that our very friendly deer are becoming second nature to our friendly River Vale Township. As of late, there have been sightings of newly erected signs stating "Beware of Deer". I just drove up to my home, and in my back yard in my River Vale home of over 20 years, there were 7 deer grazing on my rear rock wall. I quickly ran inside (to grab my camera), stopping to notice that one of the deer was having a staring contest with me. No longer afraid of the human element, these beautiful creatures are roaming freely throughout our town. If we ever had any doubt, nature is alive and well in River Vale!

The Market is Slow ONLY IF YOU READ THE PAPERS!!!
Here I am, a mere Realtor in the Pascack Valley, doing what I love most, to help my clients buy and sell Real Estate. If I ignored the news, I would be fine. I just listed a beautiful ranch in River Vale, put in an offer on a new constuction, received an offer on one of my beautiful listings in Woodcliff Lake, and am negotiating an offer on a listing I have in River Vale, and I have two offers on a listing I have in Westwood. BUT WAIT..The Real Estate market is supposed to be at a crawl..I must be dreaming..
Is it true that mortgage rates on a 30 year fixed are now at 5.5%?? (When I bought my first home, we financed at 13.25%, and then kicked our heels when we were able to refinance at 9.25%).
So, what comes first, the chicken or the egg? If everyone reads about doom and gloom, then PERCEPTION BECOMES REALITY, and the Perception becomes that the REal Estate Market must be bad if the written word says so. OK..this written word is saying that the market is indeed softer than last year, but that said, I have sold 50 units this year (2008), which means that 100 buyers and sellers moved with me this year..I am only one of numerous Realtors in the Pascack Valley..so indeed, homes are selling. My Sellers are off either moving up to another home or downsizing,,,but their homes are sold and they are indeed moving. This obviously means that homes are SELLING..And smart Sellers understand this!
The Pascack Valley is alive and well..and home prices are so VERY DESIRABLE!! We are now down at 2004 prices, and the Buyers who have figured out what deals are out there are winning BIG TIME.
Remember, the only way you will know that the market has hit bottom is when it is on it's way up and you have missed the deal of the decade!!
Time to combine great prices and great mortgage rates..log onto SusanLaskinRealtor.com
Search the entire MLS, and look at my Featured Homes as well..Search for town information, transportation, schools, town websites..lots of great information..

Testimonials!
Dear Susan,
To summarize our Real Estate experience with you in one word, "Wow!" On the selling side, you were able to get an unbelievable price for our townhouse in just 5 days. Your photographic presentation and description of our home for marketing on her busy website made the house so attractive we ourselves became hesitant to sell.
On the buying side, you made the experience easy and stress free. You have a great relationship with many of the other area brokers which made the process stress free, pleasant and took a lot of the "game playing" which typically goes along with the buying and selling of real estate out of the equation.
We could call you at 10 am or 10 pm and you always picked up your phone to take our questions and concerns. Thank you Susan for being the Ultimate Real Estate Professional, and now our friend.
Sincerely,
Amy & David - Hillsdale, NJ

Dear Susan,
I wanted to thank you for selling my home the very next day you put it on the market. You are incredible! This is unheard of in this buyer's market!
My friends and family are amazed at your marketing strategy and the energy and enthusiasm you put into your work.
Your honesty and integrity is well respected and highly admired. You are certainly an asset to Caldwell Banker and to the communities and people you work with. You know your business inside and out. Your websites are the best I have seen so far, with tons of information for everyone who is interested in buying and selling real estate.
Best of all, you were always available when I had a question for you - you picked your phone up no matter how busy you are - quite unlike most real estate agents.
I would not hesitate to highly recommend you to the next person I know that wants to sell a home.
And thanks for coming to visit us the day we were moving. Your presence and advice were very much appreciated.
Keep up the good work! - Zai

Hi Susan,
I just wanted to send you a thank you note for all the hard work you did to get my house sold. Despite the slow market, my home sold in less than two weeks and for more than expected.
You said you would get the potential buyers for me and you lived up to your word. Your marketing strategies were right on the money and you were on top of the process all the way to the end. Once again, thank you for making it all happen for me.
Yours Truly, - Greg
