Buyers  still find Scotch Plains real estate very attractive, but a less active market is a good indicator that the fall has arrived. With schools in session, fewer families are thinking of buying or selling a home, and this lull in the real estate market typically lasts for a few months, until early spring.

On Thursday, June 1st, 2017 the Fanwood Memorial Library and the Scotch Plains Public Library are kicking off The Library Telescope Project in New Jersey!  Both libraries received a donation of a fully outfitted reflecting telescope.  The funds for the first two telescopes were donated by the Fanwood-Scotch Plains Rotary Club and the fabrications to the telescopes were made by members of Amateur Astronomers, Inc. (AAI) in Cranford.  The telescopes are modified Orion Starblast 4.5 reflectors.  The telescope design was created by Issac Newton (these are Newtonian Telescopes) and are mounted on a single arm altazimuth tabletop mount.  Several modifications were made to make the telescopes more "user-friendly" and to make it impossible to lose the covers.  A zoom eyepiece was added, giving ...

If you own a home in Scotch Plains, or if you want to own a home in Scotch Plains, this is the place to find out what you need to know this spring. How long it takes to sell a Scotch Plains home is affected by three factors - price, condition, and marketing. Homes that are priced at market value sell faster than homes that are overpriced. Homes in better condition will sell faster than homes in poor condition. And homes that are marketed well will sell faster than homes that are not marketed well.If we can help you with your Scotch Plains home sale or purchase, please call us at 908-917-4189.

If you own a home in Scotch Plains, or if you want to own a home in Scotch Plains, this is the place to find out what you need to know this spring.Inventory: There are currently 99 single family  homes offered for sale in Scotch Plains compared to a 12 month average of 151 homes. 163 homes were listed in March of 2016, so this spring is definitely starting with a "thin"-ventory. Lower inventory often results in an increase in prices due to supply and demand. If you're planning to purchase a home, your offer will need to be strong to avoid losing a bidding war.Twenty  homes were sold in March which is typical for March in Scotch Plains. Normal sales with a lower than normal inventory may increase the impact of the low supply on prices.Prices: The average sale price in March  of 2017 in S...
