    Real Estate Report FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP (January 2018)

    Whether you’re thinking of buying/selling a home or just want to know how the housing market is performing in your neighborhood, my monthly real estate reports will provide you with valuable market data, including the single-family home address, style of home, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, original asking price, closing price and number of days on the market as provided by FlexMLS.

    You’ll notice a home that is priced to sell will spend fewer days on the market and sometimes close higher than the original asking price. Access to monthly real estate reports is your start to knowing the inventory trends in your neighborhood.

    A total of 22 single family homes have recently closed during the month of January 2018 in Freehold Township (Monmouth County).  This Real Estate Report is courtesy of A.J. Dell’Omo, Inc., Realtors in Neptune.

  • Air Purifying Plants

    You use many household cleaning products to help disinfect your home in the never-ending pursuit of a germ-free environment.  You might work in an office building that is climate controlled, so opening a window to help circulate the air is not an option.  Various toxins accumulate in these spaces when we use certain types of cleaning solutions, glue and other synthetic materials such as plastic and rubber.  Air purifiers can be costly, so here is an eco-friendly, all natural alternative to help purify the air.  NASA discovered that certain household plants can remove toxins from the air.  They can also enhance your mood, reduce stress and increase productivity.  Before you buy a plant, you should do some research to make sure they are not toxic to pets, such as cats and dogs.  You can start the clean-air movement by investing in a low maintenance spider plant aka Chlorophytum comosum.  These plants are non-toxic, need little water and will remove formaldehyde.  Bamboo palms (Chamaedorea seifrizii) are a study plant that puts moisture in the air and removes benzene, carbon monoxide and other toxins.  Peace Lilies are one of the more potent plants to remove ammonia, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, xylene and several other toxins.  Click https://www.healthline.com/health/air-purifying-plants#Extra-careplants6 for details on other air purifying plants and reap the health benefits with this natural alternative to costly electronic air purifiers.

  • Asbury Park Named as One of the Coolest Towns

    Asbury Park has been named the Coolest Small Town in America by Budget Travel Magazine.

    The magazine’s stated mission is inspiring and informing travelers “to see more for less” as they visit national and state parks, beaches, restaurants and lodgings for under $200 per night.

    In making Asbury Park number one on the list the magazine cites the city’s cultural and ethnic diversity, creative energy and unparalleled natural beauty.

    Mayor John Moor was pleased with the honor.

    “Well it’s one helluva compliment and recognition,” Moor said.

    Sylvia Sylvia-Cioffi, director of the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce, said she couldn’t agree more.

    “It’s such an honor to be named the coolest city in America by Budget Travel Magazine,” she said. “It used to be that people said Asbury Park was making a comeback, this really acknowledges that we are back, and in a big, cool way. Asbury Park is an extraordinary community. Once you’re here, you feel like you’re home. It’s a seashore community that’s warm and welcoming all year round. You just can’t help but fall in love with Asbury Park.”

    Offering his hopes for the upcoming vacation season the mayor said, “I hope we get better weather than the first two weekends; I’d like to see a banner summer season.”

    A release from Budget Travel Magazine states, “The Coolest Small Towns in America program is an editor-curated celebration – inspired by thousands of reader suggestions and photos shared across platforms over the past few weeks – of the communities across the United States that we feel best exhibit the qualities we prize.”

    The magazine cited Asbury Park’s easy road trip accessibility from New York City or Philadelphia, its revitalized boardwalk and beautiful beaches, which they said were one of the best on East Coast.

    The article also spoke of the city’s reputation as a “music mecca” noting Bruce Springsteen’s launch to fame from the Stone Pony and other legendary music venues including the Paramount Theater and Convention Hall.

    In the cultural diversity category they wrote about the welcoming vibe and year round events such as Oysterfest, Zombie Walk and more.

    Budget Magazine called Asbury Park the Jersey Shore’s coolest comeback and said all of the towns in this year’s list represent a “one-of-a-kind vacation waiting to happen.”

    Following Asbury Park on the list are: 2)Bisbee, AZ; 3) Nevada City, CA; 4) Chatham, MA; 5) Mountain View, AK; 6) Cannon Beach, OR; 7) Philipsburg, MT; 8) Milford, PA; 9) Glens Falls, NY and 10) Indianola, MS
