Price Reduced! Sub-500 Edition 1/12-1/19

Welcome to another edition of Price Reduced!

For all the newcomers to this blog, Price Reduced! takes a look at a handful of significant price reductions across Northern NJ. The purpose of this exercise is to serve as proof that the Northern New Jersey real estate market has long since been overvalued and has started the long hard decline back to the mean. These listings are in no way an endorsement by myself, nor do I believe they are a bargain or a value. Even reduced, I still believe these homes are still grossly overpriced.

I'm going to change things up a little bit to keep the content fresh. I'm sure readers here don't need to be convinced that sellers are dropping prices quickly, so I'm going to look at Price Reduced! from some new angles in the upcoming weeks.

In this edition of Price Reduced! we'll be looking at price reductions of properties with asking prices below $500,000. The media has been reporting that there has been a slow down at the upper end, but what about the lower? Judge for yourself.

Is there a way to look up these MLS#s to see the houses?

I apologize if this is a newbie question.

Not a newbie question at all:

Go to Realtor.com

Click on "More Search Options"

Enter the MLS # into the MLS ID Search field.

Click the "Show Properties" button.

However, you probably won't be able to search all listings this way, but you should get a good number of them.

First time home buyers do not rush in. Ket these depserate sellers pay for their reckless financial decisions. Make sure you are paid for your patience and time for waiting. Do not rush in. Prices do not drop in 3 months or 6 months. It takes time.

I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
the indexes easily.

Take a look at Wallstreetwinnersonline.com
