Getting pre-approved is IMPORTANT when buying a home!

Although it's beginning to rise, home inventory (in New Jersey) is still low. That means, sellers oftentimes will have options to choose from in terms of bids from buyers.

Becoming pre-approved shows sellers that you are serious and there most likely won't be issues after closing. Also, getting pre-approved will allow you to rest easy knowing exactly how much you will get approved for in a loan. Prequalifications are merely just an estimate and you don't want to rely on that when purchasing your largest asset!

North Jersey is one of the most spectacular places you can live in the country! Here are just SOME of the reasons why.

1) Close to so many locations
Want to live close to New York? You can be a few minutes away, 30 minutes away, an hour away, there are so many options! If you're living in North Jersey, you will be close to the Jersey Shore, the Poconos, Atlantic City, and so much more.

2) Rising property value
Owning property in North Jersey is an investment. Year-after-year property value has increased. And those times the market was impacted negatively, such as 2008? North Jersey was one of the first areas to recover (and far exceed home prices at that time). It's a reliable investment!

3) Access to public transportation
There are many different types of public transportation in North Jersey ranging from trains, buses, light rails, PATH trains, and more. Every county has several towns where you can live within walking distance from public transportation.

4) Incredibly beautiful state
New Jersey has all the seasons and nature shines in the garden state! And you can enjoy it from the myriad of parks North Jersey has to offer, to beaches, to ferries with the NYC backdrop, and so much more.

5) So much to do
Entertainment, restaurants, shopping centers, concert halls, parks, nature trails, and so much more. North Jersey has it all!
