Market Facts as of JULY YTD 2010 ______________ Source: COLDWELL BA KER HEARTHSIDE REALTORS MARKET RESEARCH from TRE D MLS Data
Inventory of homes for sale in July 2010 was 223 Inventory of homes for sale in June 2010 was 238 Inventory of homes for sale in July 2009 was 251 Unit Inventory is down 11.2% year over year, And down 15 homes (6.3%) sequentially from June 2010 Avg. price of a home for sale in July 2010 was $520k Avg. price of a home for sale in July 2009 was $522k List prices of homes in inventory near flat, down 0.2% 131 homes sold as of July YTD 2009 at 91% of list price 188 homes sold as of July YTD 2010 at 93% of list price Unit Sales volume is up 43.5% year over year, contrasted with Full Year 2009 Unit Sales which were up 1.6% Buyers achieving approx 7% avg. discount from List Price Summary: For trend-line reference, Full Year 07 Unit Growth was 6.5%, Full Year 08 Sales recorded a lower (-33.5%) result, Full Year 09 turned modestly positive at 1.6%, while YTD 2010 is +43.5%. Inventory is at an 8.6 Month supply of homes. The Average Sold Price for the Full Year 2006 was a modest 3.6% increase, Full Year 2007 reflected a 6.4% decrease, Full Year 2008 recorded a 3.1% increase and Full Year 09 reflected a 6.7% Price decrease, YTD 2010 trend indicates an 8.6% decrease. Buyers are achieving “discount” leverage in negotiation – though the spread is narrowing versus last year. Market conditions are considered above “Balanced”, favoring the Buyer, with 8.6 Months of Homes in Inventory (Note: a Market is considered “balanced” with 6 Months Inventory).
What does this mean to a Seller? There is an 8+ Month Supply of homes on the market, generally, for longer periods of time (Average Days on Market are now 78 versus 73 last year) so competition remains challenging. It is more important now than ever to price your home right and market aggressively. You may not have enjoyed the per year appreciation in 2006-2009 versus the ~10+% experienced during the prior 4-5 years. Be realistic and remember the current market is what determines the price of your home.

BROOKMILL FARM
A captivating 14-acre compound, Brookmill Farm is an historic country retreat situated an hour from Manhattan and minutes from the famous artistic communities of Lambertville, NJ and New Hope, PA. The property’s main house is a four bedroom, colonial Bank style home dating back to 1807, which boasts a new wrap-around columned porch. The recently exposed exterior with original stonework anchors an alfresco dining area under a charming pergola. Outbuildings include a large, two bedroom guest cottage, a two-stall barn with workshop and hayloft, a studio converted to a gym, and a three car garage with updated carriage-style doors. The centerpiece of the property’s summer entertainment is the pool house; the original stone building on the property, which overlooks the heated lap pool. The downstairs section of the pool house has been restored to its original “speakeasy” format, complete with custom bar, kitchenette, and half bath. The striking, nautical themed rooftop lounge area was designed in the mid 1990’s by the curator for the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
16 MILL ROAD LAMBERTVILLE NEW JERSEY
BROOKMILL FARM The long, stone wall lined, private driveway leads you into this dream property with mature trees, a trout-stocked pond frequented by blue heron and ducks, a babbling brook with a foot bridge over a waterfall, and another bridge leading to the tennis court. The extensive perennial gardens have been professionally redesigned and labeled by the head master gardener from the prestigious Cranbrook Institute in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Dramatic, tiered perennial gardens in the back of the main house are accessed by stone steps and peacefully watched over by an ancient Aphrodite-style garden fountain. The steps lead you on a path to an old rose garden and to a gazebo, the perfect spot to watch the setting sun. Brookmill Farm was once home to the theater-owning Fox family of Philadelphia, who used the property as their playground in the country. Whimsical garden decorations installed by the Fox family can still be found amongst the bucolic grounds. Stone garden frog fountains dot the property, a favorite of which has been updated with an automatic timer signaling cocktail hour. Another noteworthy resident was Brian Garfield, author of “Deathwish�, a book which later was developed into a movie starring Charles Bronson. Brian wrote the book while he owned Brookmill Farm and mailed the draft from the property. As you step inside the main house, an elegant foyer reveals a formal living room with restored original paneling, beamed ceilings, and raised panel window frames. The paneled Inglenook stone fireplace lends additional charm and warmth to this inviting space flanked by three sets of double French doors leading out to the porch. A walk-in stone fireplace anchors the dining room that is situated in the original part of the home. The Dutch door in the dining room opens to the alfresco dining porch overlooking the brook and the pond. A completely new kitchen was installed in 2010 and features Viking appliances, granite countertops, a glass tile backsplash and radiant heat floors. Original stonewalls in the adjacent gathering room are enhanced with local reclaimed barn wood. This room is flooded with sunlight as it streams in through eleven new windows in the vaulted two story section of the home. The old door on the wine cellar completes the vintage feel of the room. An authentically restored staircase appointed with era appropriate millwork leads to a sophisticated, three-room master suite. The spacious, chic master bedroom with wood burning fireplace adjoins a glass-walled sunroom that overlooks the back gardens. The five closets in the master bedroom provide ample space for two, but the real surprise for a home of this era is in the adjoining room that has been converted into a spectacular closet sanctuary. Custom glass front cabinets include 6 floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, twenty drawers and a shoe room. Two pedestal sinks, a marble tile shower and a deep, jetted tub enhance the master bath. This level also contains the laundry area with new appliances and the enchanting pink "Princess Suite" bedroom, with its own en suite bath and walk-in closet. As you descend the rear staircase, you enter the "middle" floor of the home with two more bedrooms and en suite baths. One of the bedrooms has a lovely sitting room that looks out to the back gardens and functions equally well as a family room and office. The guest cottage has two levels, featuring two bedrooms (one with wood burning fireplace), a sitting room that could easily be used as a third bedroom, a new 2010 kitchen with granite countertops, two full baths, a laundry room and a screened-in porch. The main home and out buildings have been thoroughly updated with close attention paid to the property’s colonial heritage. Property system upgrades include newer septic system, newer well pump, central air and heater in main house, cottage and pool house and a new hot water tank in the pool house. West Amwell is situated in the rolling Sourland Mountain Region of Hunterdon County, encompassing a complex ecosystem of forest, wetlands and grasslands. Less than three miles from Lambertville, New Jersey and New Hope, Pennsylvania, Brookmill Farm offers access to the recreational activities along the Delaware River, including the historic Prallsville Mills area in Stockton. Routes 202, 206 and Interstate 95 are within close proximity.
