I've lost my job. Now what? February 4th, 2009 by Sue AdlerCategories: Short Sales & Foreclosures, When job loss occurs, the effect on families can be absolutely traumatic. I feel I'm taking a risk by discussing this so openly because its such a sensitive, personal topic to so many people but I don't think I could live with myself unless I get this information out there to people who may need it.    If  job loss has affected your  family, its  important that you examine the answers to these questions: 1. Check your monthly expenses against how much money you have in savings.  2. How many months can you live in your house at these current monthly expenses?  3. What is the likelihood of finding the same paying  job? And to take that a step further, how long could it realistically take to ... 02/04/2009

Real Estate news continues to flood the media. Nationally and at the state level, the news has been disconcerting to most. The following statistics about homes sales in Millburn and Short Hills will shed some light on what went on in our local real estate market in 2008. These figures are according to the Garden State Multiple Listing Service (GSMLS). A look at important indicators shows a mixed bag of results in the township. In contrast to other parts of New Jersey and the U.S., the inventory of unsold homes on the market here has stayed very low and even fallen at some points during the year. The year ended with only 69 homes being listed on the GSMLS. This is much lower than in previous years. The low inventory has helped keep the selling prices somewhat more stable than elsewhere. ... 01/09/2009
