How's the real estate market in Brick, NJ, for the week of September 13th, 2010? As the saying goes, "All real estate is LOCAL" and sales of Single Family Homes in Brick have slowed in the last 2 weeks. This may be the result of the late "Labor Day weekend/Back to School" affect? It is still a phenomenal "Buyer's Market" with an abundance of inventory, low home prices and record low mortgage rates and will continue to be as long as new listings outpace sales of existing inventory!

So, "How's the Market in Brick, NJ"? If you are in the market to buy a home, "it just doesn't get much better than this!"

If you WANT to sell but don't HAVE TO sell, take your home off the market and allow your neighbor to MOVE ON with their lives. That's how the market is in Brick, NJ, these past 2 weeks.
