About Union County, NJ

As an agent with David Realty Group, I recently listed a house in Westfield NJ. The activity on this home has been phenomenal. As of today, I have 5 realtors that have contacted me within the last three days that have clients with serious interest. We have had over 30 showings. The home is priced right. Why so much activity? Simple, we've managed to make it to February without a real winter snow storm. But what we are having as a result of this is a real estate storm. With the warmest winter I can ever remember having, the lowest interest rates I have ever seen and some of the lowest home prices Westfield homes have seen in decades, we have a Perfect Storm! This is a tremedous opportunity! So many people know folks who were severly harmed in the run up of the market that it has caused them to become paralyzed and they fear buying a home. So even during this perfect storm, many will choose to continue to rent. If you have clients or friends in "analysis paralysis", have them call me and I will show them how smart they were for waiting!
