As the year draws to a close some condo owners are turning their thoughts to putting their house on the market next spring. If you are one of those condo owners, now is a good time to have someone take an unbiased look at your home. Ask an agent, a friend or neighbor. Or do it yourself. Begin with the exterior. Curb appeal is most important, first impressions are lasting and it will pay off to make a good impression on the potential buyer. Take a look at the entrance, the stairs, the elevator, the front door. Is the entrance being maintained? If things are not as they should be then you aught to consider having a chat with those responsible for the upkeep. If door mats are allowed in the hallway, get a new one. Is the door chipped and in need of paint? A coat of paint or a new door will make a world of difference. Discard the faded wreath and buy a seasonal door decoration. If you need help as you try to figure out if you should put your Jersey City condo on the market and what needs to be done before you do, don’t hesitate to contact Janice Hall, Weichert Realtors, 201 232 8577. I am only a phone call away.

Jersey City condo buyers have more buying power
Thinking about buying a condo in Jersey City but worried about the rising interest rates on a 30 year fixed? You may just want to consider the jumbo ARM mortgage. Interest rates on the jumbo ARM now run in the low to mid 3%, a marked difference to the 30 year fixed mortgage. This means you can buy a condo on the Jersey City waterfront for $600,000 and pay $600 per month for the loan. The average buyer in downtown Jersey City moves within 5 to 7 years after purchasing a home. The ARM mortgage gives the buyer more buying power and is an attractive alternative especially with home values steadily increasing and expected to continue this trend. If you are thinking about buying a home in Jersey City contact Janice Hall, Weichert Realtors at 201 232 8577 or email janiceNJrealtor@gmail.com.
