Price Reduced! 2/26 - 3/12

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.

On to the list!
MLS# 2235518 - Montgomery, NJ
Previous Price $449,900
Current Price $350,000 (Price Reduced 22.2%)

Grim, here's a typical realtor stunt, where the house was re-listed with a new MLS ID when they dropped the price.

I don't recall the old price, but the new price is a significant drop, any way to get that original price for this one?

2 Clive Hills Rd, Short Hills
New lowered price: $989,000
New MLS ID: 2252457

I think the current price is a drop of more than $100K.

Price Reduction? Yes, from the listing price. How about compare to the last year's price?
For me, when price is less then last year's price then it is a reduction..

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
