I can't imagine why the rental market would be slow. Seriously. Maybe the $3,000+/per month places, but there is a lack of $1500 range places. Since no one dares buy anything (even if they can), it stands to reason that they would rent in the interim. Just open the Jersey City Reporter. You will be lucky to find 3 listings. About a year ago, there were easily 15 or more.

are you kidding...it's not that the target population is switching from buying to renting, the problem is the population size is cut significantly. So demand dropped.

It's crystal clear the writings are on the wall. Just look at metropolis tower (270/280 marin) in paulus hook, a year ago you are lucky to find a rental there. Now they are actively advertising their rentals, you can get a studio there now for only $1250. This is one of the most popular rentals due to the location, and a good barometer.

To tell the people of JC to tone down their expectations of anything is downright depressing. How much worse can it get? At least have the common decency to lie to me and tell me it's going to get better, come hell or high water. False hope is better than no hope at all. That's how I see it, anyway.

P.S. You're a bad spokesperson for Obama campaign. again you root for the thugs ,what a low life.

I'd like to suggest that the gallery post some (not all) artwork on a website so that prospective buyers can evaluate before heading out.

Sadly, a lot of art in Jersey City is kitschy, and I, for one, am not prepared to take a trip to a gallery without seeing at least a few pieces online.

Isn't that all just a matter of filling in the blanks for those documents and the current landlord to tender if they want to sell and supply all the other stuff ?

Doesn't a building inspector make reports and recommendations prior the sale and a final inspection before signing over ?

'pre-approve', 'finances' = more kickbacks and commissions ?

What is the pre-requisite to be a realtor these days - finance broker, building inspector, attorney, health and environmental inspector, liason officer, mediator ?

Is being a realtor a 4 year college course ?

Is the real estate business regulated ?

Someone had to pre-approve you, search and find this place for you to buy, set up the appointment, negotiate the best price for you, draft the contracts, supply you with a choice of attorneys (if you don't have any), explain the legal riders that go back and forth from the attorneys, schedule the home inspection (and supply you with an inspector if you didn't already have one), represent you during the inspection, negotiate any repairs or credits for inspection issues, make sure all parties (your attorney, mortgage lender, the seller's agent, the seller's attorney, the appraiser) has all the proper documents (contracts, tax records, lead paint forms, disclosures, smoke/carbon monoxide cert, certificate of occupancy) and last but not least, pray that your finances are in order and you are approved of a mortgage. Otherwise all that time spent (usually 45 days) with no pay.

Points do not automatically affect your insurance. It depends on the insurance company and the jurisdiction issuing the ticket. Several years ago I got caught going 80 in a 55 zone. My insurance company was aware of it but it did not affect my rates.

A friend of mine routinely drives over 100mph on various NJ highways and has been caught several times, but his insurance has never gone up.

But again, this thread is more about being broken into and not stolen...

Okay, so do bad guys break into just about any cars? Or do they choose more expensive cars? I drive a Honda civic, and I just don't see how anyone can benefit from breaking into my car. Should I still be concerned? Or unless I have a more expensive car, I won't have to worry about it? Since it's an old and cheap car, I'm not afraid of the cost to fix it. But I just hate to have the inconvenience.

But removing a fuse sounds like a great idea. Does anyone else do that?

Get the club, they may get into your car but at least you can make it more time consuming. Perhaps you can get an anti theft insurance policy where if you car is stolen and not recovered then you recoup every dime you paid for the vehicle. I think the vehicle has to be new to take out this policy.
