Paramus home sales from 2003 to 2008 show a sales volume decline from 2005 of 43.92%. The median sales price also fell over 12.15% from the high year of 2007. Although the volume has fallen significantly, prices have been resistant to fall as dramatically as other areas of the country. Sellers have not drastically reduces the list prices. Paramus from 2002 low, didn't run up as much as other areas either. It went up within the 50-100% range, considerable and above trend, but not like the 200-300% of the more speculative areas of Florida, Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona. Areas that did not have large quantities of new properties to distribute, such as Bergen County NJ, did not use the toxic financing as often to fuel market values. I am hoping that the new mortgage programs are ... 03/01/2009

THIS IS A GREAT ARTICLE THAT I CAME ACROSS AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE   It's No Different This Time With fear and uncertainty running rampant, we can look to the past as ameans of illuminating the future.The economy and the markets over the past 30 years have had their share ofdownturns. We have had some really tough markets in the mid '70s, early'80s, late '80s and at the inception of the new millennium.Each of these time periods provide some clues about what's to come, namely:The banking system will hold together; now is probably a better time to buythan to sell; investors will return to transparent investments that theyunderstand.It's no different this time, but at market extremes, there are alwaysdelusional proclamations that "It's different this time." It was differentin... 02/08/2009
