The National Association of Realtors posted May's sales in the Northeast with an increase of 3.9%. Our local numbers hint at an even greater increase as June is already up from May.

Earlier this spring, Governor Jon Corzine's budget plan calling for a one-year suspension for all non-senior households earning more than $150,000 to deduct property taxes from their state tax filings. In a high-cost state like ours, imposing this income threshold could mean that a husband and wife working as a police officer and school teacher may not qualify for the deduction.

Tell legislators that you will not support any eleventh hour attempt by them to increase or impose new taxes on property owners or the real estate industry.
