Well the Holiday Weekend is over.  I took John to the train so he could go back to the University of Maryland.  The train station at Newark was crazy with families taking there kids to the train.  It was great to see my son he has grown in so many ways. 

The Music Ministry at Saint Virgils is selling Christmas ornaments to raise money to repair and up grade the pipe organ.  The ornament displays the Nativity Scene that is seen on one of the churches stain glass window.  This is the first of a series that will be available for the next few years.   Each ornament cost $20.00 and are about 3 3/4 inches long by 2 inches wide.  These will make great gift ideas.

Coach John Furphey has retired after 27 years as the Girls Soccer Coach for Morristown High School.  He started the program in 1982. His tenure of 27 years was the longest for a couch at the same soccer program.  Here is another example of  another dedicated teacher at Morristown High School

Five homes have closed in Morris Plains NJ  for the month of November that does not include what might close today the 3oth.  The average priced home was 395  with a 93 percent list to sales ratio.  3 homes have come under contract in November the average price was 516 and 57 was the average days on market.   3 homes are under attorney review as of today.

 The house at 253 Mountain Way went under contract in 12 days.  Again here is a house that was correctly priced from the beginning.  As I have said in the past  “a well priced house will always move in a short period of time.”  253 Mountain Way was a nicely appointed home with lots of room and updated kitchen and bath rooms. 

Remember in pricing your home hope and wishing are not strategies in selling your house.  The market dictates the price of your house, at times it may not be kind but it is always right.

Here is the Dickens Quote ” Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it.”

Thanks for Reading Morris Plains Homes
