Hey everyone, welcome back to our blog. Today we are here to give you a market update on what's been going on in Bergen County over the last few months. About 1,500 homes have sold, and our Realtors have sold about 50 of them, which is fantastic. 

The market is looking great right now for both buyers and sellers. It's a great time to buy, because interest rates are still hovering between 3-4%, which is an incredible rate over a 30-year mortgage. Rates won't stay this low for too much longer.

If you're looking to sell, due to low interest rates and an abundance of buyers, bidding wars are starting to happen more and more frequently. We saw two just this last weekend, with each home getting over 5 bids before it sold. We have found that pricing right on the money the first time is the best way to get multiple offers and bids on your home.

If you have any questions for us, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We would love to talk to you more about the market. We hope to hear from you soon!

What Should You Look for in a Home with a Pool?

 Today we have Joe Pools with us, and he's going to be giving out some advice on what to look for if you're thinking of buying a home with a pool in it. 

One thing that Joe highly recommends is to get a professional pool inspection. You need to look at the liner, and also need to make sure that the equipment such as the heater and the motor are in good shape. 

More often than not, when you buy a home with a pool in it, the pool is probably not in tip-top shape. A brand new pool can cost you anywhere from $30,000 to $40,000, but doing a remodel of the pool is much more affordable, costing only $10,000 to $15,000. 

Joe has been a longtime business acquaintance and he's turned into a great friend, and this is why he is offering a free pool inspection with any home you purchase from us!

If you need help remodeling a pool, or if you want to get an estimate on a new one, you can contact Joe at 201-797-7665, or email him at JoesPool@optonline.net.
