You’re home’s on the market, now What? Tips by a NJ stager
While your home is on the market, your life is on hold. It's an inconvenience and you have to make sacrifices…….but there’s a big payoff and that’s selling your home as quickly as possible and
moving on with your life!
The following are no cost/low cost tips on keeping your home showroom ready:
Keep your yard manicured. Mow the lawn, trim the bushes and blow the driveway regularly so it’s free of debris. Keep in mind your home is on display for anyone who passes it so it should always look well maintained.
Wash your kitchen garbage can with bleach and spray it with Febreze, a smell neutralizer. Take it out every day because food quickly starts to rot and the odor will permeate your kitchen.
Vacuum and dust at least twice a week and before all open houses. Those 2 jobs alone
will show you maintain your home and it will look clean and sparkle.
Keep all sinks, baths and toilets clean. This doesn’t need a lot of explanation. Give it a good scrub and use bleach and Tilex to rid any mildew. Then open the window and air it out for 15 minutes.
Rent a carpet cleaner or use a carpet cleaning service to clean and neutralized any smells so your carpets not only look great, but smell clean and fresh.
Don’t advertise Fido and Fluffy because they aren’t going to help sell your home. Besides taking them out of the house during showings, wash their beds, blankets, toys
and keep all animal related things (crates, beds, dog/cat bowls) hidden when buyers are in your home.
During the evening, keep your indoor and outdoor lights on so potential buyers can see it. Don’t miss any opportunity to attract buyers!
Keep in mind that this is temporary and the payoff is selling your home as quickly as possible!

Mendham NJ Real Estate 2011 Annual Market Report Mendham Township
by Bob Zorechak - GRI, ABR, e-PRO
Find out the latest real estate market information for Mendham Township NJ through 2011 in addition to a look back at the years in between to 2005. See what the trends are indicating and what is next for the Mendham Township NJ real estate market. If you are considering buying and or selling a home in 2012 in Mendham Township NJ, this valuable annual market report is an absolute must read.
Attention... all residential real estate is local! Not everything you read about online, in the papers and hear through major media outlets about the housing market is correct or relevant, especially when information is presented on a "national" or "regional" basis. There are many factors that make up the differences in local real estate markets, even from town to town and especially in a state like New Jersey with its inordinate amount of municipalities making it a challenge for some to drill down and obtain the correct market value of any given home. This is why it is important for both buyers and sellers to start with the latest "local" market data before they make any real estate decisions.

As you can see from the chart above the volume of Listings in Mendham Township have been holding steady over the past 5 years with Closed Sales gradually increasing over the past 2 years. On a positive note, inventory has decreased significantly by 34% from this same time last year down from 22 to 14.6 months, which is a big step in the right direction. Ideally, the inventory level should be between 5 and 6 months in order to be considered a "balanced" or normal market where neither Buyers or Sellers have any distinct advantages over one another. Anything above this level is considered to be a Buyer's market and anything below would be a Seller's market.
Simply stated, "inventory" represents the number of homes currently available or For Sale in a given market, or in this case a specific town. This means that with all things remaining equal, at the current rate of sales, it will take approximately 14 1/2 months to sell all of Mendham Township's current inventory.
This data indicates that the real estate market in Mendham Township is currently providing Buyers with the advantage, and should remain this way at least for the short term.

The chart above indicates a steadily declining level in the Average Sale Price of homes in Mendham Township NJ over the past 5 years in particular with highs of $1.2M down to $885K in 2011.
Based on the high amount of standing inventory, I would expect to see prices in Mendham Township continue to drop in 2012.
