New Jersey's Bulk Sale Act Revised.

On September 14, 2011, Governor Christie signed A2748 into law which modifies N.J.S.A. 54:50-38. Under the modified statute the sale of one or two family homes, condominium units or cooperative apartments will not be subject to the NJ Bulk Sale reporting requirements if the seller meets certain requirements.  This exemption includes "seasonal rental properties" defined as property rented for less than 125 consecutive days for residential purposes by a person having a permanent place of residence other than the rental property.  The new law is retroactive to August 1, 2007, resulting in qualifying sales from that date forward not being subject to bulk sale reporting requirements. 

The Seller must be an individual,

Combining two privileges from the federal government allows military homebuyers, on active-duty, to finance a home and save thousands of dollars in the process. One of these exclusive benefits is the long-standing VA Home Loan program that eases the financial pressures of paying off a home. The other is the extended deadline for military homebuyers to capitalize on a tax credit. Apply the tax credit toward a home financed with a New Jersey VA loan, and you are bound to save stacks of cash.
            Unlike practically every financing option, New Jersey VA loans often come with down payments of 0 percent. No conventional loan option comes to close to such savings. Even when paying nothing down, VA loan borrowers can finance the full price of their home in…

Close by Sept. 30 to Receive Homebuyer Tax Credit

Close by Sept. 30 to Receive Homebuyer Tax Credit
U.S. homebuyers who are eligible for a Homebuyer Tax Credit have until Sept. 30 to close the transaction and receive the credit.

Congress has extended the closing deadline, which had been June 30, by three months. The action affects an estimated 180,000 homebuyers who, because of circumstances beyond their control, had been unable to close on their purchase by the original deadline.

One factor in the backlog is that many of these transactions are Short Sales that often require extended time to complete.

RE/MAX has more than 15,000 agents specially trained in working with Short Sales and in helping homeowners avoid foreclosure. Find an agent in your area

NJ Housing Market Continues to Improve

The New Jersey housing market recorded the highest number of October home sales of the past 3 years and recorded an impressive 55% increase over the same month last year. After rising at a rapid pace during the late Spring months of this year, contract-sales have defied the traditional ‘end of summer’ sales slump by averaging 7,100 monthly sales for the 5 months. For example, there were 7,100 contract-sales in October compared to 7,050 back in May. That the pace of sales is holding steady in the face of continuing job losses and rising unemployment is remarkable and highlights the opportunity value resulting from lower home prices and record low mortgage…
