Hoboken Real Estate Market Update - Q1 Report

Hoboken Real Estate Market Update - Q1 Report

Happy Spring!

It's no secret our real estate market has turned around. Buzz is out that our market is hot. And that's for many reasons.
Let's review briefly the factors that got us here.

• Low housing starts (builders stopped building when the market was soft)
• Scared buyers turned to renting (rental prices went way up turning those renters into buyers late 2012&2013)
• Inventory was low (sellers stayed in their homes longer than they would have because of low sale prices)
  
• Low mortgage rates (buyers and sellers are taking advantage by locking in low rates)
• Buyers continue to enter our real estate market 
• Seller's took advantage of high rents and decided to rent instead of sell

So, with all of this, it's easier to make some sense out of why the current market is so competitive. Add to that -- it's Spring! Traditionally this is the best time of year to sell and it's when most people look to buy.

Brownstone Dining - Beauty's Of Era's Past

Brownstone Dining room inspiration. As a real estate agent I see many types of homes. And I can appreciate both traditional and modern living. Today I am in the brownstone mood, what with so many gorgeous brownstones in Hoboken and Jersey City, and found some pictures of inspiration for you to enjoy on this beautiful Saturday.

I absolutely love this photo (image from thepresidentwearsprada.com). The dark wood paneling against the white linen walls are so classic and gracious!

And this one is so fabulous! It's traditional but with a modern and rustic edge. Don't have exposed brick? Fake it like in this photo! Gorgeous! (image from chadbstreet.com)

And finally, this white twist. So chic. I love that they chose to paint the wood floors white and the brick all white. It just screams modern but it has awesome texture and a nice organic feel. Love it. (image from dwell.com)


What's your favorite? Are you decorating a dining room in a traditional space? What's your inspiration!
