Hold on! Don’t go! If you are looking for the Northern New Jersey Real Estate Bubble Blog, you are in the right place
This blog and it’s readership have grown tremendously over the past year. This tool is no longer adequate for managing such a large blog, and is becoming more frustrating with every day that passes. We’ve outgrown this site, so it’s time to move to something bigger and better.
The transition is finally complete, and the new site live, so take a look and make a note of the new URL. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the foresight to register a domain name earlier on, so we’re going to have to pay the price for that mistake now. However, I’m sure the benefits of the new site and blog will far outweigh the temporary hassle of the new URL. Many of you have already taken a peak, but for those who did not:
Yes, we’re no longer the “Northern New Jersey Real Estate Bubble Blog”. I thought the name was great, at first, until I realized how incredibly long and cumbersome it was. It was almost as complicated as trying to tell someone the cryptic URL. We needed a new name and URL, and this is what I decided on (https://njrereport.com).
But wait, you say, the word “bubble” is missing from the name. Yes. Yes, it is. I feel that it detracts from the credibility of the site and its members, so the bubble reference is gone. However, the real estate bubble in New Jersey will continue to be the main topic of focus for the blog and forums.
With the new site will come new topics and features. Many of you have already started using the forums (https://njrereport.com/forum). With many topics hitting 100+ comments, it becomes very difficult to follow a conversation or branch off on separate threads. The forum will allow us to keep discussions on topic, as well as provide a forum for general discussion and questions.
I’m looking forward to hearing suggestions and feedback, so let’s have it. If anyone is having problems with font sizes please let me know.
Caveat Emptor!

No matter where you move or how long the website name, we’re with you!
do you know what happened to Kentucky Fried Chicken when they changed their name to KFC, because they didnt want to be associated with the word “Fried”….?
Main page comments will remain open for the next few days until we make the transition to the forums.

Mr. Bednar,
thanks for this. I hate to make comparisons, but I’m sensing a wee bit of Nader-inspired fire here (the ’60’s version).
Cheers
The green tunnel image is neat.
fyi..The “tools” section is missing.
thanks
Will add it this afternoon
Is that the Holland or Lincoln tunnel? My grandfather and his father and siblings hauled much of the brick used to build the Holland.
I now realize that this site is running an almost identical theme as Jon Miller’s Matrix blog.
Can I have some kind of confirmation from those who use a Blackberry or other mobile device to access the site?

Hey, just a suggestion: Can you think about changing the font to Arial?
Grim,
The site looks great!!!! Can the move to the new site, to accomodate the flow, be a leading indicator to buy???
Great new look – good luck!
Still doesnt work for me
Why is it a black background??? How can i read this?
I am having withdrawal from the Monmouth/Union county tax records search.
In the vein of LOW BALL, you should do a comparison of original purchase price and now selling price to show how out of whack some of these prices are. We just moved here from suburban Atlanta and are renting for a year until we figure out this market in north central/east NJ. Sticke shock is an understatement.
southern,
What operating system and web browser are you using?

Ahh, the new format got me, I put my comment on the next post.
Still, happy to see you taking the site to the next level.
Grim, the text of your postings is very tiny. Increasing the font size, only makes the titles and headings larger.
Otherwise, though, great new site. Great layout.
My post from yesterday didn’t show up
grim – not obvious how to log in here
nice new look
keep up the good work grim
I turned off the registration/login buttons and functionality, we’re only using these comments until these topics are integrated into the forums.
I didn’t want everyone to register for this portion of the site, and then need to re-register for the forum. Having two sets of logins is going to be a headache for non-pc-savvy users.
Each new post will have a link at the bottom that will take you to the appropriate forum topic for discussion.
Good because I can’t post here at all ARRGH!
see?
I dont get it
It just doesnt work
oh wells
Here is my comment….
