Welcome to the September Holmdel-Hazlet Real Estate blog provided by Gerine Skamarak and Doreen DeMarco of EXIT Realty East Coast. Our intention is to inform you of monthly statistics on your local real estate market as well as provide useful information about the buying and selling process.  This month we reference two articles we believe you will find interesting.  On average, home prices are rebounding nationally and locally.

Home prices rebound

A quote from the above article

"The news on home prices in this report confirm recent good news about housing," said David Blitzer, Chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "Single-family housing starts are well ahead of last year's pace, existing home sales are up, the inventory of homes for sale is down and foreclosure activity is slowing."

Record low mortgage rates and a tighter supply of homes available for sale have helped to lift home prices. Lower unemployment also has helped with home prices, although job growth in recent months has been slower than hoped.
