What a year! We began with an outlook as grim as any since the Great Depression and many have suffered. Fear can be so paralyzing and the first six months we saw so many people living in that space. Then slowly dipping their toe in the water the buyers started to engage again. We feel that we have rounded the corner. People are getting back on their feet and confidence is edging up. And from a real estate perspective, we are moving forward again.

The numbers tell us that the real estate market bottomed in June of this year (overall, prices declined in the first half of 2009 and then flattened out). It also appears as if the year 2010 overall will be flat.

Change can often be seen as disruptive, but we embrace it at the Miggins Group and recognize the new opportunities that are always in front of us. We changed offices in May to Keller Williams in Short Hills, and in doing so we gained access to the “big guns” of the Summit office for any of our client’s needs. Our parent company, Keller Williams, has grown to #3 in the country and our local office is ranked the number 2 office in our board – out of over 2000 offices! This is for an office that is only 4 years young.

More to come!!!
