		<title>Doh!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another example of magical thinking.  It&#8217;s a nice enough house&#8230;clean, updated kitchen, beautiful pool&#8230;but it was built in 1973 and has the limitations you&#8217;d expect of such a home.  Unfortunately, the seller priced it out of the box at $539,000, thinking that the neighborhood had entered a time warp and traveled back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Expired</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s installment is a dandy little Colonial on Station Rd.  Currently asking $739,900 EXPIRED, it was originally listed at $949,000 on August 17, 2006 and has spent 806 actively-listed days hurtling toward oblivion.  In the interim, it has had two tenants, who I&#8217;m sure have made an excellent contribution toward accelerating the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Price Reduced&#8230;In Attorney Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



What are they thinking?


7 Thoroughbred, just listed for $589,900 REDUCED TO 574.9K AND IN ATTORNEY REVIEW CLOSED ON MARCH 30 at 545K&#8230;UNDER THE ASSESSMENT.  Lovely house, but it&#8217;s asking over the tax assessment.  Virtually no house in Branchburg in this price range sells at the level of the tax assessment these days.

		<title>This Isn&#8217;t Your Father&#8217;s Recession</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From a site I never heard of before, called Reason.com:
&#8220;Something called the National Consumer Law Center criticizes state mortgage-mediation schemes as well as the Obama Administration&#8217;s Home Affordable Modification Program, which at last count had managed to prevent 235,247 homes from coming onto the market. However, data from the Federal Reserve and the Office of [...]]]></description>

		<title>FHA 10-Megaton Plutonium Bomb Now Set to Detonate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I actually made this call close to two years ago, on NJ Real Estate Report.  You gotta believe it&#8217;s as sure a bet as the sun coming up tomorrow.  Given the fact that: 1) a buyer who puts down only 3.5%- then has the seller give it back to pay closing costs- is [...]]]></description>
