I’m not sure exactly when the transformation took place, but apparently at some point during the last few years I became my grandfather. I fall asleep in the chair watching TV, the music kids listen to gives me a headache, I think modern athletes don’t measure up to the heroes of my youth (Joe Namath, now THAT was a quarterback!) and I have no patience for the drunken tomfoolery we call the Hoboken St. Patty’s Day Parade (grumble, grumble, grumble.)
Well, last time I checked Mayor Zimmer and the City Council had not called for my opinion, so I guess I’m just going to have to deal with it. For you home/condo owners out there with ground floor units, take my advice and stay home and keep an eye on your property. You’re the first line of defense should someone decide it would be fun to urinate on the building, uproot your tree or toss your garbage cans into the street. Keep a camera handy too so you can show the po-lice exactly who needs an ass-whuppin’ (or at a minimum, a $2,000 fine.)
Surprisingly, there are a fair number of open houses on Saturday too. Not as many as usual, but more than I would have expected. If you are out house hunting, do yourself a favor and keep your route off Washington street. A final bit of warning – if you are going out to drink copious amounts of green beer, and you do decide to stop in to visit some open houses, leave your checkbooks at home. Half a million dollar condos are not impulse purchases.
In all seriousness, be safe, respect your neighbors and your neighborhood, have fun and drink responsibly.
When you look at the map, placemarkers are color coded:
- Studio & 1BRs are red
- 2BRs are green
- 3BR & Bigger are yellow
New listings are marked with a “New Listing” icon.
Click on the location marker for:
- open house date
- time
- unit size
- asking price
- down arrows indicate price reductions
- link to the MLS listing
Want to know which open houses are on Saturday and which only Sunday? Click on “tools” at the top of the list and enter the word “sat” or “sun” (without the quotes) into the search box.
Did you know that the agent hosting an open house is the Seller’s agent? Whether it is the actual listing agent or any other agent from the same company, that person legally represents the sellers. Not only that, the hosting agent – by law – has a fiduciary duty to the seller to get that seller the highest possible price for that property. Do you think it might be a conflict of interest for that same person to then represent you? Many people think so. In fact, in many states (other than NJ) it is illegal for the same agent to represent the seller and also work with the buyer.
Did you know that when you go to an open house you can see the property at the open house on your own and, if you like it, go back to it with your own agent? You can! So if you see something you like at an open house you might want to consider finding your own agent who does not work for the seller. Just because you walk into an open house does not mean that the hosting (seller’s) agent gets to “claim” you as his or her customer – even if you “sign in”. You are the consumer. You are spending your hard earned money on what is probably the biggest investment you will make in your life. Don’t you think you should be able to work with whom you choose?

Next weekend is the Hoboken St. Patty’s Day celebration so this weekend might be a better choice for walking around town visiting open houses. I suspect there will be far fewer open houses to visit next weekend, and negotiating the streets will be more of a challenge, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.

A friend of mine sent me a link to this great clip from the movie “I Love You, Man.” It cracked me up, and I thought it would be a great way to start off your house hunting weekend. (Please note – This is Howie, and I have the maturity level of a kindergardener.) Enjoy!
