Morris County NJ Affordable House Requirement Going Through Roof.

 

If the new rules proposed by the state council on affordable housing go into affect Morris County may need to add 6,500 Affordable Housing Units. 

 

The new proposed rules would lower the number of market-rate homes that could be built for every affordable housing unit from 9 market rate homes per 1 affordable housing unit to just 5 market rate homes.  The rules also would require a municipality to build an affordable housing unit for every 16 jobs that are created down from every 25 new jobs added to a community.

 

What does this all mean for Morris County and for New Jersey as a whole?  It means, higher taxes, fewer jobs, companies looking to leave New Jersey.

National News means nothing for Madison NJ Real Estate Market!!

Housing construction fell in November and single-family activity dropped to the lowest level in more than 16 years as a severe housing slump showed no signs of a turnaround.  This is how the headline from the national news reporter Martin Crutsinger, AP Economics.  Never mind that better than 50% of his results are coming from California, Florida, Arizona & one or two other South Western states.

Friday December 14th 2007:  NBC’s Today Show  and Meridith Vierra interview Refin Real Estate Spokesman Glen Kelman.  The title of the segment was “everything you are being told by your Realtor may be wrong”.  That implies a lie.

Mr. Kelman claimed that he and his people over at Redfin real estate are not in real estate sales at all.  They are calling themselves scientists, really scientists.  So what have these real estate scientists come up with that is stunningly different than what we the Professional REALTORS have known and practiced for years:  Don’t over price your home.  Make sure your home is marketed online. 

Really, wow I never would have thought of that.  OK, that was not true, I thought of that about 4 years ago when I first started as a…

The New York Jets are coming to Florham Park New Jersey.  They are redeveloping the former Exxon office park site. 

The site will have a 27-acre training and headquarters facility, an office complex, senior housing (likely 55 and up housing) and a hotel.  This is a major redevelopment for Florham Park and will have a large & hopefully very positive impact on Florham Park and the communities.

The Jets headquarters relocating to Florham Park New Jersey will generate local jobs and more than $10 million annually in new tax revenue for New Jersey.  The agreement to move to Florham Park also provides for the Jets to create an annual $50,000 fund that Florham Park will dedicate to athletic and recreational facilities and programs.

Yesterday while reading a few of the blogs over at my good friend Denver SEO Guy I noticed that he had taken some advice from me.  Now this was not profound advice or anything, just advice I had given because I was interested in the subject.  I tend to like to read Knox's blog because is has a very good mix of entertainment along with good SEO information.  As of late though Knox had been on vacation as well as been writing some less technical  articles.  I thought to myself, I cannot wait for him to write another technical article on something I can understand and possibly even do.

I am honored to say that Knox is a great guy and well worth reading.  You should stop buy his SEO blog sometime and see what he has to say.  You never know what he is going…
