You make the assumption that the next correction will look exactly like the last one. Why could it not look like the one before that in the late 80's, or the one before that? All it takes is a big hit to the equities market to cause people to lose confidence and retrench.

Markets overheat and then correct, that's what they do. It's not an IF, it's a WHEN. Fatal last words: "this time it's different".

Uh, yes... When there's a real estate bubble that bursts, people tend not to buy homes for awhile. Now they're back. Is anyone surprised by this?

Also, have you not noticed that 07302 prices are fairly stable, and only gradually rising over several years? When you look at the price history, the REAL bubble is readily apparent.

It's not clear that inventory will get back to "normal," whatever that is. The number of sales is already taking a hit in 07302, in part because of inventory issues.

uh huh

If you look at the Elliman report on the Hamptons, you'll see that the prices see-saw on a regular basis. 2014 was an exceptionally good year, and 2015 looks more normal.

It's also a very different market than JC. So please refrain from trying to terrify people with out-of-context statistics.

Some support in the press for being in a bubble. A telling stat is the decline in home ownership.

Or, one doofus with a blog is *cough* crying Wolf.

Real estate in SF is insane... for reasons he doesn't acknowledge, namely: Inventory there is low, demand is very high, cost of living in the Bay Area is very high. SF has little interest in going vertical, which ensure that inventory will be low for a long, long, long time.

He fails to realize that an increase in the home ownership rate is the sign of a bubble, not vice versa.

And of course, he fails to note how so many of the mechanisms that inflated the past bubble -- e.g. poor valuations of risk, banks willing to loan to anyone with a pulse, banks selling MBSs and RE derivatives all over the world, and so on are not active, as they were in the last bubble.

Sadly, it is very easy and painless to make hysterical attention-grabbing headline predictions that don't come true. If there is no such burst in 12 months, who is going to look back and call Wolf on it...?

I'm not sure this is evidence of a bubble or evidence of a fundamental restructuring of our economy. Where the divide between the haves and the have nots is increasing so much, we are creating a permanent class of renters.


What it might mean for example is US house prices might depend on interest rate difference between the US and overseas. Euro interest rates look near zero and look set to stay that way. The proverbial "Aussie investor" might shift their investments to Europe and cause house prices to tank if US interest rates rise. Buy-to-rent prices can be more volatile than buy-to-own.

Thanks, JcDevil.

Sigh... People just keep repeating the same nonsense without making an effort to read a little more deeply. The Morgan at Provost Square is ONE of THREE towers going up in that space. The Morgan is an all-rental building. The next two towers were billed as condos. Once the project is completed, there will be 925 rental and condo units.

Thanks for the confirmation. Early on, I believe it was planned as condos, but I had read some recent stuff that seemed to contradict that. I wasn't sure what was the current status, but figured someone could/would correct me. Thanks.

Yes, more inventory will come online in the next few years, but the Jersey City market is not a market unto itself. It is part of a much larger market - NY Metro. Of all the Hudson River cities, we are the most connected to NYC, and we are now seen as a viable alternative to the sky-high prices in the city.

Then you have the whole trend towards urbanization where buyers, whether millennials to empty-nesters, want to live an urban lifestyle and ditch the car (yes, many coming to Jersey City see it as a place where you don't need a car). I work with a lot of these types of buyers, so see it all the time.

As long as NYC keeps doing it's thing, I believe that Jersey City will as well. The added inventory will be absorbed quickly. My biggest concern is PATH and keeping us so closely connected to NYC, but that's a whole other discussion.


Agreed that the condo inventory being added will be absorbed. I do believe the market is hot (not in a bubble) but perhaps experiencing a bit of a slow down. There are some real infrastructure issues to be concerned about (PATH being critical, but let's not forget the issue of a failing sewer system) and the political stuff that really turns off some people. The school situation has been improving, but there is still tons of room for improvement. I think all of these things are critical to the young demographic being courted: people in their late 20s, early 30s, maybe even late 30s and early 40s. Lots of those folks will want to start families, or already have a kid or two, and they need to know they have reliable transportation into NYC, and decent schools where to send their kids. Even if you have a decent salary in the mid 100s, you would be hard pressed to be able to afford a private school tuition bill in the mid 20s (and, forget about it if you have two kids) if you are paying 4K in rent and have other commitments (school loans, car payments, etc.) Certainly, you will not be able to save money for the future.

5. it's going to be at least another 30 years before downtown is built out with complete streetscapes


But where is this inventory going to come from? No one is building condos. You only got a mid rise by the shoprite that is opening up and the area is still mess. The other is the Chinese building by 77 Hudson, but no one knows when it will be breaking ground, it will be years before the sales starts much less occupancy.

There are no other large scale condo projects....it's all rentals.

This is a JC thread. Comparing the prices of DTJC townhouses to the National stats is absurd.

Frankm said just what many other realtor friends have been saying to me for months: Masonry old rowhouses in DTJC are probably in the shortest supply of any building type but the demand is high. And the prices just keep going up as a result. Especially when the ex-Brooklyn crowd thinks they're cheap and the Australians keep coming in with all-cash no-contingencies offers in the 1.4-1.6 range.

12 Mercer Street had 6-7 feet of water in the basement during Sandy and the place is in poor condition overall. Even at the reduced price I'd call it overpriced as well as a flooding gamble. I wouldn't touch it at half the price but I'm sure someone will. Great location, just 3 feet too close to sea level.

I saw that listing too, the asking price is just wishful thinking. Noone is going to pay close to 1.2m for a low rise building with minimal amenity and no view.

I can ask 2mil for my 1br, doesnt mean it will be sold. Look at the monmouth tax record site with filter on sold = last 90 days, that's the real market. (there is 1-2 month delay between closing and it showing up on that website usually, but still give you the most accurate picture of price)


Wow

This home has a pending offer.
99 Montgomery St PH 3, Jersey City, NJ 07302

DATE EVENT PRICE AGENTS
07/26/15 Listing removed $1,175,000
07/19/15 Listed for sale $1,175,000+51.2%


Ok i will eat my words, this is insane.

Back at the height of the market towards end of 06/early 07, 1br in one of the waterfront highrise was going for 440k, this was followed by shortsales/foreclosures etc.. the lowest point it went to in the years that followed as 300k. Now same 1br is 560k and noone is worried.

Very strange market :)

Is that the definition of cooling off, buyers saying no to crazy high prices?

614 Jersey, listed at 999K went into contract about one week after it was listed. Don?t know contract price yet, but it had multiple offers and seller got well over asking

656 Jersey, listed at 1.575M is in contract after being on market 43 days

332 York, listed at 1.7M, is in contract after being on market 13 days. Seller must have gotten close to asking if not asking in order to take it off market that quickly

12 Mercer has been on market 36 days and was reduced to 1.67M. Was asking too much based on it?s poor condition.

243 Marin was reduced from 1.99M to 1.599M on market now for 22 days. Completely renovated, and set up as 2 duplexes. Developer should have made it as a triplex plus garden rental or single family. There are more buyers in that segment of the market. It's also on busy Marin Blvd.

I?m a realtor working with several buyers looking for townhomes. Many from the Bklyn where a similar townhouse is twice the price. The competition is fierce and anything decent that?s priced correctly moves within a week or so.

I?d say that there is no cooling off.

So, I have been watching the single family market in dwntn for the past couple of months. Here's what I saw. (I might have missed others.)

Only one sold, 614 Jersey Av, listed for $999, now pending.

Two were taken off the market, for whatever reason.
656 Jersey, about $1.6m
332 York, $1.7m

Two reduced prices.
243 Marin from $2m to $1.6
12 Mercer from $1.8 to $1.67

There are a few others that are still out in the market for the same price, but doesn't seem to be selling as quickly as 614 Jersey, which was listed for less than $1m.

Seems to me like there's a cooling off. Maybe there was pent up demand last year and early this year, but buildings are not being snapped up at the prices they are asking now. Maybe the condo market is a different story, but supply is definitely looking greater than demand in the single family market.


I was told that 36 Erie, an OZ property was sold. The gut renovation is not even completed. How do you follow the market? I used to live in an historic district in Columbus, OH., realtors had lists of potential buyers, so just using public information was not enough to get a full picture. Here, I sold a building on 5th St. about 7 years ago - full price in one week. Doubt that anything other than realtors note in window reached the general public.
