  Team Zuhl had a great evening recently at Mizu Sushi at 103 North Union Avenue in Cranford. The menu is interesting and robust, the service is pleasant but not overbearing, and the food was fantastic!  There are dozens and dozens of appetizers to choose from, including salads and sushi. For entrees, there is an extensive vegetarian menu including 11 vegetarian rolls as well as 56 sushi rolls - some very traditional and some rather exotic like the Out of Control Roll (chilean sean bass, avocado, and soy pepper) and the Strawberry Heaven Roll (spicy kani with straweberry and mango sauce). The kitchen menu is varied and includes an extensive tempura menu and a hibachi menu with plenty of noodle choices. This is definitely a place we could visit often and never get bored!     08/20/2012

In our last look at Cranford NJ Real Estate at the end of March, I predicted that the 2nd Quarter Sales to "exceed" the 1st quarter sales. Seasonally, this is almost always the case, but with the first time home buyer tax credit in place through April 30, combined with historically low interest rates, and favorable pricing I expected an even greater surge in market activity. As we complete the 2nd month of the quarter, it is quite apparent that the 2nd Quarter of 2010 will show a sizable spike in sales activity. In the entire 1st quarter, there were 29 closed sales in Cranford. So far in the 2nd quarter, there were 10 closed sales in April, 9 closed sales in May, and currently 43 listings under contract. This is a staggering number, as most of these properties will likely close before J... 05/26/2010

Hard to believe its already the 2nd quarter, but I am sure uncle sam didn't forget! Hope you've filed your taxes...or at least started them. ...but I digress. With the start of a new quarter comes the looking back at the last one. Cranford NJ saw 29 closed sales, and 50 homes go under contract in the first quarter. Thats about a 4.7 month's supply. Is that a seller's market??? It just might be right now. Check out the Cranford NJ Market Summary for more detailed stats, and as always, thanks for reading!   04/12/2010

Foreclosures were on the rise in Cranford at the end of 2009, but the good news is that compared to the national, state, and county average, Cranford is still experiencing less foreclosures per number of housing units. We will continue to track these numbers, and I suspect if unemployment stays near 10%, the foreclosures will increase a bit more before decreasing.

Looks like the Cranford NJ Real Estate market showed a strong recovery towards the end of 2009, which helped the closed sales to end nearly flat compared to 2008, when it looked like 2009 was going to be well below the 2008 numbers through the 2nd quarter.

"There is a green revolution coming," Congressman Tim Ryan said. "And we are going to be a part of it. We are going to shape it."It is something that Ryan has been saying for some time. Now the Mahoning Valley is trying to position itself as a leader in Ohio in green job training.    The Electrical Trades Institute has dedicated a new windmill and four solar panels at their Champion Township Facility, paid for by a grant from the Wean Foundation."The wind and solar are training modules," said Mark Catello with the I.B.E.W Local 573. "Our goal is to train 50-percent of our workers. Right now we've hit 30-percent, which we are pretty proud of. We are hoping to continue with our training with this additional grant. The state of Ohio received $4.8-million." Read mor: http://www.wytv.com/con... 01/20/2010

The government is funneling nearly $100 million into training programs for green jobs, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis said today. The funds, part of a $500-million green workforce development initiative through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will go to 25 projects around the country. The programs are designed to help workers find jobs -- such as hybrid and electric auto technicians, weatherization specialists, wind and energy auditors, and solar panel installers -- in growing energy-efficiency and renewable-energy industries. The money will be parceled out in Energy Training Partnership Grants ranging from $1.4 million to $5 million each. Projects in communities affected by the restructuring in the auto industry will receive $28 million. Read more: http://latimesblogs.latim... 01/11/2010

While Cranford NJ has not seen nearly the number of foreclosures as other parts of New Jersey, there has definitely been an increase since the first quarter of 2009. Even though Cranford remains one of the stronger markets in Union County, there has still been an impact of unemployment, and financial hardship which has affected more homeowners.
