JoAnna's Real Estate Thoughts

This extended and expanded custom home will surpass your expectations! 

Mother/Daughter, In-Law Suite, Large or Blended Families... This home does it all!!

$459,900 - 10 Old Queens Boulevard, Manalapan, New Jersey

I don't just sell homes in Manalapan's Yorktowne, I lived here for over 16 years!  Yorktowne Development is a family neighborhood, of single family homes, approximately 40 years old. The community is situated between Gordon's Corner, Pease and Pinebrook Roads.  Often a favorite for New York City Commuters due to the convenient proximity to the Gordon's Corner Road New Jersey Transit (Midtown) and Academy Lines (Downtown/Wall Street Area) bus stops.

In 2008, the average sale price for a home in Yorktowne was $403,125.

I'm very happy and excited to represent this special home for sale.  This extended and expanded, custom home, set on almost ¾ acre of Manalapan property, is the perfect choice for large families looking for extra space.  Blended families or those in need of a true mother/daughter can find it here.  With 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, this home far exceeds the boundaries of the typical Yorktowne home!  

Outstanding features include 2 separate eat-in kitchens, each with updated stainless appliances, upper level master bedroom with full bath, walk-in closet, 2 double closets, and private balcony, second master/guest suite has 12x9 walk-in closet with custom organization system and laundry hookups ready to go, large dining room has laminate flooring and vaulted ceiling, hardwood flooring under most carpeted areas, painted in today’s colors and finished with decorative moldings and new doors.

As it is currently being used, the lower level is a fully-functional in-law suite with separate entrance.  This space can easily be used and enjoyed by the single family.  Living/family room with stone fireplace, master-sized bedroom, full bath, sizable laundry room, dining room (can be converted to additional bedroom) and recently renovated recreation room (with separate staircase to the upstairs).   Tremendous 31x14 kitchen  offers maple cabinetry, ceramic tile flooring and comes in handy when entertaining in the huge, fully fenced, flat backyard, with plenty of room for a pool!

Size, condition AND value!  All this AND an award winning Manalapan, New Jersey School District!  Why wait?

I took a new listing this weekend in my farm in Manalapan New Jersey's Yorktowne Development.  Yorktowne is not just where I farm.  I used to live there.  Check out my recent post about this great home.

I love getting listings in my Farm.  Who doesn't?  They give you the confirmation that your hard work and commitment is paying off!

The weather was BEAUTIFUL in New Jersey today.  Up near 70° with sunny skies... quite the conflict to be jacketless and warm and stepping over piles of snow!!  (So long snowmen!)

I planted my sign in front of the home (Don't you just love that part?). 

It went in effortlessly thanks to the warm weather softening the ground! 

I stepped back with my client... looked at the sign, looked at her home, looked at the sunny skies, looked around at my old stomping grounds and sighed... LIFE IS GOOD!

Got in the car and started toward my appointment to show sell a house today!

As I pulled out of the driveway, out of the corner of my eye I saw him, Rob, my old mailman and neighbor.  He was the best mailman ever! (No offense Richie).

I quickly pulled over and teased him, asking him if he had the buyer for my brand-spanking new listing.  Mailmen know EVERYONE and EVERYTHING that goes on in town!  

He laughed and then congratulated me on my success.  I shrugged... "huh?," wondering how Rob knows what I've been up to.

He told me that he figures I must be sooooooooo successful because I am the only agent sending mail anymore!

He then thanked me for keeping him and the United States Postal Service in business!

The point is this... he noticed and commended me for sticking with it.  He encouraged me to keep at it.  He felt if you farmed before when competing with 10 other agents going after the same business, why would anyone stop farming now when they have much less or maybe no real competition at all?

He went on to say that the local perception is that I am successful, committed and have the wherewithal to stay the course, even with the challenges we face in today's complicated real estate market.

I'd say that kind of recognition is worth the 42 cents stamp.  (Wouldn't you?)

This concept goes deeper than direct mail or farming.  It applies to all aspects of our business today.  This is NOT the time to hold back. 

The current market condition presents us with a unique opportunity to take advantage of LESS competition in the marketplace.  This is the time to dig your heels in and plant your seeds diligently so that when the market starts to bloom you'll be in a superior position to excel!

Good luck!
