The State of the Residential Real Estate Market, a free public forum, will be presented on Wednesday, April 17, at 7 p.m. at the West Windsor Senior Center.
Discussions will include selling trends, pricing your home, what buyers are looking for, finding reliable real estate information, and how to prepare a home for sale. Panelists are Donna Lucarelli and Mary Weaver with Jerry Spielman as moderator. All are residents of West Windsor.
According to the National Association of Realtors, sales of existing homes have reached a three-year high, even though the supply of properties on the market increased. Will this bounce be short lived or is this an indication of a more permanent acceleration in housing recovery? Attendees will have the opportunity to present their own questions to the panel throughout the evening.
