Are we turning the corner in the Chatham real estate market?? There are currently 126 homes on the Chatham Borough and Township markets as of June 6th 2007 priced between $328,000 and $3,395,000.    As of today there are 75 homes under contract between the price of $339,00 and $2,575,000.  This is a great improvment over this time last month where there were more homes on the market, and vastly fewer under contract.  This may be a strong sign that he local real estate market is starting to turn.  One thing that many are saying though is pricing is still critical.  When pricing a home today it is best to take the best most recent comp and list your home for about 99% of the price that one sold for and you will have a quick sale at a better price than if you price the same as the most rec... 06/06/2007
