Everyone's been watching mortgage rates. But there's another trend buyers shouldn't overlook...

Every fall, the housing market tends to shift.

More homes hit the market. Asking prices often soften. And sellers are usually more willing to negotiate.

Those seasonal changes happen almost every year – and they can make buying a little easier.

Let's talk about whether those same trends are showing up in our local market – and what it means for you.

Great night with great friends! Took our friend Jackie out for her birthday dinner at the CHOP SHOP. I’m so happy for Old Bridge to have this wonderful new restaurant. The service was great. The ambience was beautiful and the food was delicious. Happy birthday Jackie! We loved celebrating you!!

Few things are as rattling as the thought of your home sale falling through at the last minute, right before closing. All that waiting, all that progress, out the window.
