Yesterday, something rare and exciting happened in our little corner of the world of Bergen Countyin the town of Paramus New Jersey. A black bear was spotted running around the neighborhood around the Paramus Catholic High School and beyond.
As reported in the Bergen Record April 25th, it was indeed an exciting event ending in tranquilizing the bear for it's own safety. Turns out, according to the newspaper, that the black bear was approximately 400lbs and guesstimated to be about 3-4 years old. Not too small a bear, in my humble opinion.
I have been in the mountains up in Harriman State Park, just over the border of NJ, in New York state and had one of these bad boys come rumbling down the mountains in a full gallop and scare the heck out of me. Fortunately he kept going and didn't stop to check me out as I was swimming in a nearby lake at the time. Thank goodness for that. Whew!
On a Real Estate note, the Bergen Record newspaper posted this cartoon below, in the editorials and I thought I'd share it with the rest of the world. Somehow the Real Estate market is always on the minds of people, as you can see. Pretty fitting cartoon for our times.

ver, real estate is not a product like groceries or jewelry. Real estateis more like a Stock purchase in many ways and the Buyer establishes the value with no amount of advertising relating to the success of the sale. Buyers will hold up an imaginery measuring stick when comparing the value of one home to another. Just as a twenty dollar bill has an assumed value of two ten dollar bills. So will your home have an assumed value in the eyes of the Buyers when comparing to other homes on the market in the same price range. Although the marketing plays a huge role in bringing the Buyers, the positioning of the home is The Secret to Selling a Home.
