NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY...WITH MORTGAGE RATES AS LOW AS THEY ARE, FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LOW PRICES OF HOMES, AND THESE INTEREST RATES.    MORTGAGE RATE UPDATE   The projected longer term good news about this for 2009 is the pick up in activity for home buying. The Federal Reserve this month, opened their checkbook for the first time on its promised shopping spree for buying mortgage-backed securities. The Fed plans to buy up to a half-trillion dollars' worth of mortgage-backed securities in the first half of 2009. When you heard all the hype about 4.5% interest rates, this is one of the reasons for the hype.

Tappan Lake, located in Old Tappan and River Vale, Bergen County New Jersey and southern Rockland County New York is a reservoir. Surrounded by homes and tree lined for the most part, it is tranquil and beautiful. Part of the fresh water system it is an important resource. It is formed by a dam in the Hackensack River flowing from Rockland County and eventually flows down to Oradell Reservoir. This video is taken in October for the turning of the leaves, showing great real estate.

The answer depends on who you ask.  The answer also depends on which part of world you live.  At the start of 2007 the skeptics were wondering where this market was headed.  It started slow, and homes that were listed stayed on the market a bit longer.  The Buyer's watched, and waited.  When the price was just right, and offer was made.  When a home that was renovated, and on a quiet street, had curb appeal, good school systems, and priced right, many buyer's made an offer on the the same house.   And so a bidding war ensued.  As the weather got warmer, and the flowers have started to bloom, more homes came on the market.  The Buyers have more choices.  However, if you eliminate homes that need updating, bedrooms that are too smal, kitchens that don't have enough cabinet space, not enou...

Nestled between the towns of River Vale, Harrington Park, Norwood and Northvale, this beautiful town is located right on the New York State borderline just 12 miles from NYC.  In the late 1800's a portion of Old Tappan had been part of River Vale but eventually that portion was annexed to Old Tappan.  The Northern Valley Regional High School was not opened until the early 1960's.  It serves the towns of Old Tappan, Northvale, Norwood, Harrington Park and Rockleigh. Growing up in River Vale in the area of town that borders Harrington Park and Old Tappan, the borders were so fuzzy that to Bob and L...
