The Madison Real Estate Market is holding its own.  There are currently 84 homes on the market as of the end of May there were 39 homes under contract.  These numbers highlight the importance of making sure that you hire the best Realtor to market your home, and to price your home properly from the start.  The old method of pricing a home high and hoping to get it and reducing if you don't does not work well anymore. 

Today pricing a home aggressively as compared to its competition is the best way to make sure to get the best price for your home, and hopefully a bidding war on it as well.

It is also important to make sure when you are interviewing Realtors that you ask plenty of questions about how he/she will market your home on the Internet.  Many…

The Morristown Real Estate Market is holding its own.  There are currently 151 homes on the market as of the end of May there were 151 homes on the market & 50 homes under contract.  These numbers highlight the importance of making sure that you hire the best Realtor to market your home, and to price your home properly from the start.  The old method of pricing a home high and hoping to get it and reducing if you don't does not work well anymore.

I locked in the Morristown name for a wordpress blog.  I am going to be experimenting with it to see what kind of interesting news and commentary I can put up on it.  Also would like to see if I can get the word out about it to the point where there are some local people seeing it, and even allow them to comment on the blog as well.    I thought it was a great way to put up some additional information about what is happening in Morristown, Morris Township, Morris Twp, and Morris County.  Not just homes for sale, information on selling homes, but some real news.  Zip codes covered will be Morristown 07961 and Morris twp 07960 and Morris Township 07960   It is at http://www.morristown.wordpress.com Your suggestions on how to set it up so as to… Read Full Post

Ok, I was shocked, I created a blog here about creating a Squidoo lens dedicated to Morris Township and the Morris Township Real Estate market on Monday.  Today I search Morris Township Real Estate on google and #3 on the list is my REW blog on the Squidoo lens.  That was fast.  I know that Morris Township Real Estate is not a super competitive search term, but still. 

Then I keep looking, and the Active Rain Blog I created Tuesday night is #15 on that search.

If I could just get my Squidoo Lens Morris Township Real Estate to start ranking I would be in heaven.

Anyone have advice on getting a Squidoo lens to rank in the Serps??

Created a new lens at Squidoo which is all about Morris Township Real Estate. The site is a experiment as of right now.  Want to see just how much traffic a site like this can get.  In the near future I will attempt to add a link to the GSMLS though the IDX Solution offered by Wolfnet.

I hope that you all enjoy this and will comment on things that you feel could be improved or things that you like.

Shortly I will be adding more to this site about Morris Township Real homes.

Added my featured Morris Township listing to the squidoo lens.  Check it out.

Technology,  it is so great when working well.

Here in New Jersey, we have our choice of using a PDA or a Key card for unlocking our lock boxes which we place on our listings.  I chose to use the PDA this time because I always have it with me verses the key card which I had before but would always forget and then need on short notice. 

The problem is, the palm pda, though very nice, very useful, is also very fragile.  I had it in my case yesterday while playing catch with my son.  While bending down to pick up the baseball, it fell with the case, and bang, the screen shattered.  Now wouldn't anyone expect that any cell phone should be able to take a 2 foot drop while in its protective case? 

Since I need this phone to work, today I am taking the Phone…

After reading the Forums at REW , I came across a discussion about SQUIDOO. 
 I read several lens and decided to write one on the subject of FLIPPING Homes.   After many tries and finally several google searches I found what was needed.  Adding this little snippet into the text that you are publishing
<a href="the full web address you wish to link to">The linking text you wish to display</a> 
(hope that shows as I intended).  Anyway from reading this I am sure you can tell that I figured out the linking thing.  Please check out my Squidoo Lens.   I hope you enjoy it. 

One thing I have not figured out as of yet, is exactly what Squidoo means when they say it is like a website on Steriods??  I know they are trying to say, very powerful but how so?? …
