Experienced the new W Hotel in Hoboken by actually staying there this weekend - truly an urban oasis and escape from the daily routine....My husband surprised me by booking reservations for 2 nights at the new W and it was a fun experience. Pets are welcome but we decided to leave Roxy with a friend. If we had chosen to keep her there, they would have treated her with lots of luxury pet amenities, including her own bed, special dog toys and evening treats, a few of the things they do for your pet. There is a $25 daily charge for this as well as a $100 non-refundable cleaning fee. (Roxy did stop by to visit but didn't stay there).
Other amenities included a Bliss Spa on the premise (and they will come up to your room for certain spa treatments), Living Room (becomes a bar in the evening), High speed internet is available, business center, fitness center, restaurant and a really nice staff who were extremely accommodating.
So it was a quick escape and fun to be one of the first to experience Hoboken's latest addition. Click on below link for more details and stop by yourself to check it out.
Daylight savings begins this Sunday, March 8th at 2a.m., clocks get turned forward for an hour, effectively moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. So don't forget to change your clocks this evening.

I wish you and yours all the happiness, health and fortune in the world!!!
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy holiday and a wonderful New Year.
From a sellers market to a buyers market and despite what you read in the papers, there is still is a market, but the conditions have changed. Having good credit and at least a 10% deposit are a minimum criteria for a buyer. And sellers are now realizing that their hopes and needs cannot dictate the price a buyer is willing to pay for real estate. A year ago and prior, the sellers were able to get the extra premium based on the common belief that prices would continue to go up. So the seller could simply refuse to negotiate on their listing price and in fact, would often be able to dictate a purchase price above the asking price. Of course, it is exactly the opposite at the present time. People are truly negotiating now, no longer is it a one sided transaction. But if you start with the right price, you will definitely get more showings which is essential in this market in order to capture a buyer. Not only will a wrong price generate less showings & you can't sell it if they don't go to see it, but the fewer showings that they might get will probably end up with a buyer expecting a much lower price anyway.This year everyone has to re-strategize, both buyers and sellers. Everyone continues to speculate but no one really knows what is going to happen or when things will happen. But we do know that if you are selling, you need to price realistically from the start with a strong possibility of further negotiating and it taking longer to sell (plan accordingly for both). And if you are buying, you need to realize that getting financing is not as easy as it used to be. Be prepared in advance, consult with several mortgage brokers to find out what you can comfortably afford each month taking into consideration how much you can put down on a property along with closing costs. Understand that you can negotiate but not all sellers are desperate to sell. But also understand, it's better to be a buyer this year than last year.
