Same story, different property. Seller purchased at the height of the market and current bids don’t even come close to their (in all probability) unrealistic asking price.
From the Star Ledger:
Perretti Farms property for auction in Burlington County does not sell
A 310-acre farm of preserved land in the heart of New Jersey’s horse country did not sell at auction yesterday because the highest bid — $1.5 million — was not as much as the owners had anticipated.
Eight bidders showed up to the site in North Hanover, which is owned by the state’s largest and most prestigious standardbred breeder and racing stable, Perretti Farms. The company purchased the farm for $2.5 million five years ago, but is winding down operations in the next two years because of the shaky horseracing industry in New Jersey.
Similarly situated properties have sold for $10,000 an acre, said Max Spann, president of the Max Spann Auction and Real Estate, which organized the sale.
The highest bidders “have indicated they’re still interested,” Spann said. In the coming days, the prospective buyer and Perretti Farms will try and work out a deal.
Good Morning New Jersey And Happy Friday!
A comment posted to the Star Ledger site indicates the high bid was an even lower $1.35 million and not 1.5 as printed.
From HousingWire:
Yearly housing inventory down 20%, home sales up
National home sales and median price listings in September went up from a year ago with the home inventory down about 20%, according to multiple reports Thursday.
These positive signals were offset by a continued slight downward trend in home sales prices, down 3.3% from a year ago according to RE/MAX.
But with home sales up, RE/MAX CEO Margaret Kelly said the hope is that sales price will follow. Of the 53 markets surveyed by the company, 17 saw yearly sales price increases, including Detroit (13.4%), Miami (8.4%) and Orlando, Fla. (7.8%).
Home sales nationally went up 7.6% from September 2010 with increases in 44 of 53 markets, including Des Moines, Iowa, (31.3%) and Minneapolis (30.1%).
Single-family home, condo, townhouse and co-op inventory was down 3.27% from August and down 20.09% from September last year, according to Realtor.com.
This year-over-year decrease could mean a return to seasonal patterns and higher prices in the coming months, though markets are still fragile and could weaken in bad economic conditions.
Beautiful picture, love to be sipping my coffee from that home every morning.
Five years ago Hovnanian would have bought that farm and put 7000 condos
there. Actually seems like a good deal at 1.5 million.
Why would it be surprising that the value of acreage for a horse farm has fallen about 40% since the peak of the market. Wild Bill should take the money and run!
Yeah, 100k an acre for farmland in NJ cause it’s different here. LAMFO!
Would it make for a good nompound, can you dig trenches and put in razor wire fences. Is the land tillable?

Back to ‘Soup’
“This economy broadly is not going to engage until housing is at least moving in the right direction,” Zandi said. “Right now, we are very close to going back into the soup.”
About 40 million mortgaged homes have at least 5 percent equity, meaning they may be eligible to be refinanced. In the second quarter, 11 percent of new mortgages bought by Fannie Mae, the largest U.S. home-loan finance company, had equity of 10 percent or less, according to regulatory filings.
Another 11 million borrowers can’t move and can’t refinance because their mortgages are bigger than the value of the homes that secure them, according to CoreLogic Inc., a Santa Ana, California-based real estate research firm. About 2.4 million have equity of 5 percent or less. A government effort known as Home Affordable Refinance Program allows homeowners who are up to 25 percent underwater to get new loans.

Jersey Troopers are already cracking down on the few in Trenton, They will slowly make them remove tents, Look for a back doors (like cleanup issues) to disperse the crowd and slowly wear down the protesters until they go home. If the protestors Stay peaceful, The politicians will pay lip service and wait for the cold weather to break up there party. The truth is nothing is going to be done until you get a very large group of people that have nothing left to lose and are willing to start riots and go to prison for a cause or overwhelm the system, until that happens the status quo will not change. Thomas Jefferson Said
“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure.”
We own a farm in the neighboring municipality of Chesterfield. That is a nice preserved farm with good productive soils, a colonial era home and a series of outbuildings. It is almost all tillable. I guess it shows that estate interest in preserved farmland is on the decline, probably due to the general real estate and economic environment as well as the withdrawal of state subsidy of the equine industry.

re # 14- funnelcloud – “overwhelm the system” No violence is needed. The protesters picked Wall St because of it’s symbolism, and Zucotti Park because if it’s public/private nature so the NYPD could not shut it down, so the protesters now have have a perpetual presence, no PERMIT for NYC to delay or decline or limit, and 24×7 brodcasts of this rebellionn.m The fact that the City will not let them protest on Wall St itself is only going to make things worse. When the calls become louder to withdraw your money from the major banks, and people actually withdraw their money en masse this will be over faster than the run on Lehman.
Be worried the MSM has picked it up and is now running it 24×7, and in a few short weeks everyone now knows about this rebellion. The Republicans in their infinte wisdom did not pass the millionaires tax in the job bill while the economy is still headed down the toilet. The mess down in Washington DC is only going to make people angry, since they were already frightened for the last three years. Next comes angry and then action.
Greece in death spiral and Timmay doesn’t sound too confident. So the cash stays on the sidelines for now.
Comrade – This is shades of 1917 in Greece. The new reforms include a property tax.The government tried to institute new property taxes using the electric bill. The electric company employees took over the company, and would not let the bills go out, and they won’t shut off service.
Farmer Jim- I took part in the sale of many preserved farms in NJ. Selling around 1,000 acres in Burlington County between 2006-2010. I never saw a farm south of Mercer County sell for more than $7,500 an acre (with one exception the Greenberg farm in Mansfield 2005 sold for $9,000 an acre). The quote from the article saying $10,000 an acre is pure puffery. Perhaps in Hopewell, Alexandria or Cranbury not Burlington.
When a farm in NJ is over 100 acres many people tend to back off (except in extreme rural Salem, Gloucester Counties) because most buyers are not farmers- making the price per acre come down a bit.
I was at the farm auction in Mansfield in 2009 of a property with 210 acres and it sold for less than $3,500 an acre.
Farmer Jim – thanks for all the good food this season :-)

Turns out that he saves money by giving me the stuff because it costs him to dispose of it. Those chippers can handle big logs, but they chip and dump, so they see nothing from the wood. And if it kills his chipper, well, that hurts more. If he gives me the oak and maple, he isn’t expending money to chip it and dump it.

“The Republicans in their infinte wisdom did not pass the millionaires tax in the job bill while the economy is still headed down the toilet.”
At leats you got the marching orders well. This is the desperate message O’s teleprompter will cling to in the campaign. If only GOP had passed my new tax bill we would have now Bush-GOP era 4% unemployment..
Actually, Senate GOP tried to force Senate to vote on President’s bill, but Reid invoked nuclear option, changed Senate rules and was able to prevent the vote on President’s touted jobs bill. Besides, the opposition to Reid’s bill was bi-partisan. But details like these do not fit The Narrative that State Media is pushing so never mind.
So anarchists were bused in by President’s street organization and unions. Somehow I doubt these SA troops will show up harassing at the private palaces of Fannie Mae/GE-NBC/Solyndra execs. That wouldn’t fit the Narrative, would it?
“Anarchist Protestors Invade San Marino Neighborhood ”
Members and supporters of a radical labor union stampeded a San Marino at 6:00 p.m. because he is an officer with a major banking institution.
“Piggybacking on the anarchist Occupy LA and Occupy Wall Street model, approximately 100 protesters were bused to a residence on Woodstock Rd., trampled the landscape and repeatedly pounded on the front door. Nobody was home, as the residents had been tipped off by the financial institution’s security department. One source told The Tribune that several of the protesters have been identified as members of Organize for America – President Barack Obama’s campaign organization – and the discredited ACORN.
San Marino police arrived approximately fifteen minutes after the protesters were delivered by two buses to the residence on Woodstock Rd. and immediately called for back-up. San Marino Police and Fire Chief John Schaefer said officers were summoned from South Pasadena, who arrived to help control the mob, many of whom were conducting interviews with local news organizations.”

“This economy broadly is not going to engage until housing is at least moving in the right direction,” Zandi said. “Right now, we are very close to going back into the soup.”
Funny I don’t understand why realtors say we can’t have a good economy without housing. Go back to new york city from 1993 to 1999 we had a roaring bull market, great economy, spending like crazy. However, coops, condos, housing was still at deaths door and no one was buying real estate as bad memories from the RE crash of 1989-1991 was still fresh in everyone’s heads. We rented, stayed in our underwater coops/condos and our little starter homes for most of the decade and spent like crazy, had stock market returns of 20% every year and all had brand new cars.
RE ain’t that important. Heck when we all rented. Me included in the 1990s we all had nice rent stablized apartments in the city and share houses in the Hamptons we were all much happier. Less headaches and no anchor around your neck if you lost your job. Bigger problem is people underwater on houses need to be foreclosed on or walk away and rent. It is the large monthly payment on an asset on a depreciating asset that is hurting economy. Let them go belly up and free up income to spend!! We need more disposable income. Throw them out 1991 style let a new RTC firesale the homes and let them rent for 7 years till stink of BK if off their credit and they have a 20% downpayment. It worked in 1992 it will work today.

#36 – do you want a good Bergen County agent or just an agent in Ft Lee/Edgewater? I can recommend someone in Bergen but their office is not in those towns.
Chi – The goal was to setup camps on Wall St from day one and still is. When this started on the 17th they were granted a small place to protest setup by the NYPD on Broad Street at Exchange Place around the block from the exchange. On the 17th they gathered by the Bull at Bowling Green and tried to march to Wall St to setup up camp. The NYPD continually corralled them away from Wall St, and told them to go to Broad and Exchange, and that neaderthal cop kept harassing them on the sidewalks which peaked the attention of the media. Because they were barricaded in by the NYPD, they ended up at Zucotti because somebody knew they could not evict the campers from there. If they had let them setup camp on Wall St for only one day they could have arrested them all that night for refusing the leave, curfew etc. I don’t know what would have happened then but they may have never ended up at Zucotti which is now going on a month of occupying, with a massive protest set for tomorrow. Bloomberg has made several mistakes here, and when he sends in the jack booted police and the horses to clear this out it is going to be real messy.
NJChoo (36)-
There are plenty of agents who can assist you. All people do anymore is “look”. Anyone still in RE basically views potential buyers as a longshot gamble of time and money; in the overwhelming majority of cases, they know upfront that they will lose, but shepherding people around at least gives structure to their day and gets them out of the house.

#34 JJ – By 94 the real estate market was out of the mess. Market was not bubble kind of hot, but the market was not depreciating either. I would classify that period as a very stable time in the market.
There is a dramatic difference between a sick, semi-functional market like we are in now and the time period you make reference to. Real estate does not have to be on fire for a healthy economy to exist, but it does have to be functional.

Water got shut off when they winterized a townhome near by us. We had to break back in to turn the water back on to about 7 units because we couldn’t find the owner (go figure). Went inside and it was a nightmare, holes punched into the walls, writing in permanent black marker over all appliances and walls in kitchen. I saw “wash the f**king dishes b*tch” scrawled on the dish washer. Place had a smell that said “stay away”.
The blatant destuction in this house is nothing compared to what a couple can do when they hate each other.
Went to an Octoberfest celebration last night at client’s club. During the dinner, they were lamenting the fact that they’ve only had one low ball offer on their home in Brigadoon. Asking 700k with offer of 580k. Of course they exclaimed “they are not giving their house away.” Funny how many people say that. They’ve been in the home over 30 years. Apparently the one offerer had a lender appraisal and it came in even below the 580k offer. It seems like such a long shot to be able to sell when buyers will be forced to come up with over 30% of the purchase price given the state of the market.
BTW – they will be taking it off the market early November as the spring will be the hot time for buyers and they want a fresh listing.

“Prosecutions are still underway and so there will likely be even more convictions.”

The 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta has overruled part of a lower judge’s decision and ordered Alabama to stop questioning grade-school students and parents about their citizenship status, the AP reports.
But the court did let stand for now the part of the state law that requires local police officers to ask for proof of legal status during routine stops if they suspect someone might be an illegal immigrant. A similar provision, first passed by Arizona in 2010, has been temporarily blocked from going into effect by the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. If the two appeals courts ultimately disagree over the constitutionality of this part of the law, the issue will likely end up in the U.S. Supreme Court.
The 11th Circuit sided with the Obama administration’s argument that the schools provision of the law should be blocked as the courts rule on its constitutionality because ongoing enforcement could have a “chilling” effect on enrollment among immigrant families. The Alabama school system reported widespread absences among Hispanic students the week after the law passed, and local news reports suggested families were fleeing the state because they were afraid they would be deported. A final decision on Alabama’s immigration law, which is considered the toughest in the nation, won’t be made for months.

If you are saying that increasing the wages to fill the jobs will resolve the issue, I think that is wrong. The margins are so razor sharp in that field, the business model is unsustainable as the market will not absorb the increase. The net result is the business goes bust.

I was a few months into my first professional job as an aerospace software engineer, Singer-Kearfott, very close to grim’s new place (now GEC Marconi turned BAE systems). 6 months later I had a few direct reports, one of whom bought a DEC-Pro (PDP-11 desktop) and spent $1000 on a System V OS and used it to teach himself C. He came to me one day and said he had a consulting offer for $25/hour for 6 months and asked me if he should take it. I said, “Hell yes!, you’ll make as much in 6 months as you do here in a year and even if it takes 6 months to find your next job you’ll still be even and will have had 6 months off to go to the beach or whatever.” He took my advice and left. I bought his computer from him for $1000 (with the $1000 OS thrown in) and did the same.

LONDON (AP) — An independent British medical watchdog says the first treatment proven to help people with the deadliest form of skin cancer is too expensive to be used by the U.K.’s health care system, a recommendation critics called a potential death sentence.
The drug, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Yervoy, has offered some hope to people with advanced skin cancers, though a study of patients with advanced, inoperable melanoma showed it extended survival only four months on average.
The National Institute for Clinical Excellence, or NICE, advised Friday that at a cost of 80,000 pounds ($126,600) Yervoy “could not be considered a cost-effective use” of health funds. A final decision is expected next month after a public consultation
