On Travel Shock, Moving at 1000 miles an hour and further Confessions of a Real Estate Addict and Hopeless Optimist

Greetings faithful blog followers;...Under the Confessions category, I confess it has been too long since I last wrote and just as I did last year, I am making resolutions to share thoughts and comments more often; especially since not participating in the social media phenomenon is similar to not having a cell phone or even a computer!

If you're reading this and haven't commented recently, how about some thoughts and ideas about the subjects below or another topic of interest?...it's nice to get feedback and will encourage me to write more often.

There have been many positive developments since we last spoke and I hope this post finds you and your family healthy, happy and employed...It's time to come out of the bomb shelters and dig up the coffee cans of money from the back yard - the overwhelming consensus is that general economic conditions are improving, signs nationwide are increasingly positive and we are decidedly on the road to recovery. In our region in NJ, we are actually about 18-24 months further ahead of many parts of the country on the road to recovery; they will be digesting excess real estate assets for a while. Las Vegas, Phoenix, Miami and parts of southern California are good examples of economics in much worse condition than the northeast region of the country.

What are your thoughts on mortgage availability at retail or wholesale levels? Anyone having issues with appraisers, mortgages or credit items in general? Please share your thoughts and comments.

On a positive note; a warm welcome to Carl and Sheron Bell and the Douris's, our newest homeowners at Visions at the Shore and the Elamranis in Foxmoor at Mays Landing. We wish you many years of happy, healthy, prosperous memories in your new homes!

One thing I learned over the last week of 28 hours of seminars and meetings at the Builders Show is that it's important for me to share my thoughts and opinions on other blogs and forums where I might be able to help someone out. If there is any issue or situation you are facing regarding building a new home (especially in south jersey) financing or credit issues, general business, or just need some positive reinforcement, email me at vince@foxmoorhomes.com and I will do my best to help or steer you toward others who may be able to help you.

Better yet, come to our Solutions 101 Seminar at Visions at the Shore on Thurs Jan 28 starting at 4pm. Get a personal consultation with our team of experts including Steve Brasslett, Owner of Ivy League Mortgage with expertise on reverse mortgages, Donna Hill from ReMax Atlantic with some helpful tips on how to sell your home right now, Linda Rhinier, Visions Sales Manager who will guide you through the new home purchase process and me Vincent Simonelli, President of Foxmoor Development Ltd., a building developer in south jersey. We'll be there to address your particular issues. Visions is located at 980 Pitney Rd in Absecon, NJ and light refreshments wil be served. Seating is limited so call Visions at 609-646-7791 or email Linda@foxmoorhomes.com for details.

Regards,
Vincent

Happy New Year!

It's 2010 and we're still here! We are the survivors!
Exciting things are happening at Visions At The Shore. The H building manor homes are sold out and we're taking deposits for the I building which is under construction. People will actually be living there this spring!
The townhomes have been reduced so much it hurts but 3 are still available starting at $299,900. Won't see these prices again for a long time I hope!
The clubhouse inspires me; I still get excited everytime I walk in and listen to the fountain!
Events are happening all the time; I've been cooking away in the Visions kitchen for our homeowners; you have got to come taste my chili at the Superbowl Party Sunday Feb 7! Who cares what teams are playing, we're here to have fun!
We're still helping people sell their homes in this difficult market using several dedicated realtors who are helping us help you!
Ivy League Mortgage continues to support us with creative financing; Visions was recently approved for both FHA and VA loans.
So get out of your house, come over for a drink by the fire and spend some time with us. Spike will greet you at the door!

Regards,
Vincent
