The January numbers for the Moorestown real estate market are in and illustrate a lower demand for homes in Moorestown when you compare January 2007 to January 2008.

Since only 8 homes in Moorestown sold this January I thought I'd share which price ranges had activity.
2 Moorestown homes sold between $200,000 to $249,999. 1 of the houses had 3 bedrooms and the other Moorestown home had 4 bedrooms.
1 Moorestown home with 3 bedrooms sold between $250,000 to $299,999.
1 Moorestown townhouse with 3 bedrooms sold between $350,000 to $399,999.
1 Moorestown home with 4 bedrooms sold between $400,000 to $449,999.
1 Moorestown home with 4 bedrooms sold between $450,000 to $499,999.
1 Moorestown home with 4 bedrooms sold between $650,000 to $699,999.
1 Moorestown home with 4 plus bedrooms sold between $1,000,000 to $1,999,999.

Of course all these homes in Moorestown had varying features, sizes and conditions which play a part in determining the sale price.

Overall, the January numbers for the Moorestown real estate market show a slowing trend and with only 9 pended sales in January a slower February 2008 could be in store. With more homes coming on the market for the spring time buyers will be in a strong position once again, yet, if you are a buyer keep in mind if a home is priced right it will sell and may even get multiple offers.

Moorestown Real Estate Revaluation

It has been some time since Moorestown has gone through a complete revaluation – I believe back in the 1980s was the last time when the entire town's home assessments were recalculated.

So why a revaluation? Since it has been so long since our last revaluation the current assessments in the municipality are no longer uniform and representative of 100% of their true market value. Therefore, a revaluation fairly redistributes the necessary tax burden among all property owners based upon the true value of their property. Of course this was written into law as well so their is no way around it.

If you haven't heard... the Moorestown revaluation is completed. It appears Moorestown residents are now receiving them and are a hot topic around our office and the local coffee shops. One of my friends say their taxes actually stayed the same; however, another one of my Moorestown friends had their taxes go up by about $400. I have not received mine yet, but I look forward to reviewing it and appealing it if it wasn't valued properly.

By the way, rumor has it that Moorestown Township was inundated with calls from the first batch of reassessments mailed out so start your appeal process early.

If you have questions regarding your new assessed value and are considering an appeal, regardless if you are residential or commercial real estate owner, feel free to contact me. If for reason I cannot help you I will make sure I introduce you to someone who can. I look forward to answering your questions.

Here is the link to the company that Moorestown hired to do the revaluation and the posted values and sales values for your home - Appraisal Systems, Inc.

Best of luck!
