The news media is relentless in its reporting of the number of foreclosures and short sales nationwide … but all real estate is “local.” So how important is it for you if you live in the Westfield NJ area to know what the real estate market is like in California, or Florida, or Nevada, etc?
The answer is “marginally” in that the national ”mood” certainly affects all of us. But I’ve noticed that, by and large, Westfield Area residents who are thinking of selling are not putting it off “just because the market is down.”
And here’s why: Most who are planning to sell and then buy another home recognize that while they may get less for their home, they’ll also pay less for the one they ultimately buy.
For others, they’ve decided that since their children are grown, they simply don’t need to live in such a large home … selling, even in a less than optimum climate, alows them to move on NOW — an important and refreshing lifestyle attitude.
