From NJ 1015:
Homes are selling fastest in these two NJ counties
It’s like a Six Flags Great Adventure ride that never ends. One without too many lows that keeps just bringing you higher and higher into the clouds. Well, as far as price anyway.
That’s what New Jersey’s real estate market is like. Buyers want to get off the ride while sellers never want it to end.
Not only is the lack of available inventory of homes for sale affecting prices but it’s also created a situation where homes can be sold far faster than before.
When I listed my home last fall with Rob Dekanski of Remax 1st Advantage the closing took some time because of the buyer’s situation, but the actual process from day it was listed until we had a signed deal? Six days. And for thousands over asking price.
According to a story on nj.com, the statewide average is 39 days for the month of October. But keep in mind that accounts for home sales from listing to closing date or being taken off the market, not just a deal being made.
So that’s fast. But where are homes selling the fastest?
Union County
29 days
Passaic County
29 days
Morris County
31 days
Somerset County
32 days
Camden County

The 2 major problems with that house are
1). It’s in ocean county
2). It’s in Tom’s river
Fast
That 2nd
House looks like a tv set from 1979.
Looks like it will be another big day in the market. The Fed thought the long end was doing the heavy lifting with driving up long rates. Inflation appears to be cooling, and the market is thrilled, and long rates are heading down. Fed cuts expected next year by the market , and round and round we go. So much for sound monetary policy.
Beer,
Lol. Compromises are steep sometimes.

Plus side for house owners; the FED cuts, mortgage rates follow, house price increases immediately by 10%. Us boomers go to Olive Garden and get bloated on bread sticks and sulfates.

Well, in return, I give you a heartwarming positive relationship.
Their eyes met when she handed him his test back. His gaze melted her heart, he knew she gave him the grade he never deserved. Her feminism so strong, she was going to make a man out of him with her caressing touch.
The moment she knew the relationship had to end was when a couple of detectives met her at her front door.
An educator has been arrested on rape charges after she had sex with an 11-year-old boy in a car outside of his Connecticut school.
Alyson Cranick, 42, was charged with two first-degree counts of sexual assault and three counts of risk of injury to a minor.
She allegedly had a two-month sexual relationship with a young boy when he was 11 and 12 years old in 2022. The incident was first reported in September 2023.
The boy told police the two ‘had sexual intercourse in her vehicle’ at Horace Porter School – a pre-K through eight grade school – and that he ‘snuck out of his house on at least 14 occasions’ during the night to meet with Cranick.
Mortgage demand climbs to the highest level in five weeks after interest rates move lower
After dropping sharply the previous week, the average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($726,200 or less) remained unchanged at 7.61% last week.
Applications to refinance a home loan increased 2% for the week and were 7% higher than the same week one year ago.
Applications for a mortgage to purchase a home increased 3% from the previous week and were 12% lower than the same week a year ago.
One percent?

Healthcare insurance is supposed to go up 1% on average this year. And yes, they backed out some healthcare costs that went into the report many years ago. Fudging the numbers is fine, as long as they tell you they are fudging it, I think. I read about it last night. At the end of the day, I don’t even know if I trust most of the numbers at all. I mean, look at who is collecting them?

Unreal. Any question on Fed policies and becoming Brazil?
This year, the median age for a repeat buyer — someone who has bought a home before — was 58, according to data released Monday by the National Association of Realtors. That’s down just a smidgen from last year’s record of 59, but it’s up significantly from 36 years old in 1981, when NAR began conducting its survey.

Taiwan Opposition Parties Announce Alliance, Shaking Up January Election
Taiwan’s opposition parties have agreed to run a joint campaign in January’s election, raising the chances that a more China-friendly government takes power in Taipei.
The Kuomintang and Taiwan People’s Party announced plans to run a united campaign following a meeting Wednesday that centered around how to decide which of their two nominees would head the campaign as the presidential candidate.
As President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping prepare to meet in San Francisco in an effort to repair their bilateral relationship, the developments in Taiwan could reshape global geopolitics for years to come. With Taiwan at the forefront of increasingly fraught ties between Beijing and Washington, the election of a more China-friendly government in Taipei could remove a potential flashpoint between the world’s two economic superpowers.

Taiwan knows its going to be useless once America gets its own chip factories in place.
That’s what America does, it uses who it needs to, then dumps them when they are no longer useful.
Even the Fire Department has become lazy in America now. They stood there and watched this happen to this lady. What’s the matter don’t have a net anymore.

The guy who got dumped because he’d never heard of Moorish and didn’t know the ingredients of a paella was a lucky man to get out early.
Here’s how negotiations with China work:
US : in return for a benefit from the US today, you need to promise to change something in the future
China: great, it’s a deal.
…ten years later…
US: hey China, you didn’t change that thing you promised.
China: yes, that was just a promise, and we did promise. Now let’s make another trade where you give me something I want today, and we promise to do something else in the future. Win-win!
Phoenix: Who is this Tammy Murphy besides bring the Governor s wife? Does she have any credentials, not that it matters.
Taiwan seems to be holding up pretty well given all the psy-ops China continuously attempts on them.
TSMC is constantly complaining about how hard it is to get their foundry in the US started. They have a smooth supply chain in place over there, meanwhile in the US they get welcomed by union organizers who want to build the plant like they build NJ highways. But I also wonder if the Taiwan government is trying to slow down the offshoring of foundries.
American buyers who need their chips made in the US for security or regulatory reasons will for the foreseeable future be paying a cost premium versus the Taiwan cost. And if TSMC can’t charge a premium, they probably won’t be making as much money out of that future US plant.
HMB,
Anything triggers a woman today. One of the videos you posted, the woman said her husband was great, then dumped him anyway.
It’s what they do. I have a married one where I work. She is hot. Good husband, good provider, kids. Comes on to me every day. I can’t break up a family even though she would be fun in the sack. I worry more about her children than she does.
This is exactly what my ex did when she called the PoPo on me. It’s a pattern. Like Central Park Karen. The PoPo can’t wait to come and harass you and be a hero to the “scared” woman, and these women know how to weaponize the police.

Taiwan loses leverage once the foundry opens here.
Leverage is everything.
It wouldn’t surprise me if once the chip factory opens in America that America would bomb the one in Taiwan and blame the Chinese for doing it.
People in this country come up with some sick ideas for doing things, and justify those actions easily.
Look at this one, NJ related. This is off the scale crazy what happened. Trick might know about this one, I think it’s somewhere near him.

Markwayne Mullin (R), a former mixed martial arts fighter, nearly came to blows with the president of the Teamsters at a Senate hearing Tuesday, forcing Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to step in to stop a brawl from breaking out in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee room.
Mullin challenged International Brotherhood of Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien to a fight on the spot after the senator read aloud O’Brien’s tweets calling him out as a “clown” and a “fraud.”
“Sir, this is a time, this is a place. You want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here,” Mullin said from the hearing room dais.
“OK, that’s fine. Perfect,” O’Brien shot back.
“You want to do it now?” Mullin asked. “Stand your butt up then.”

Left,
I am very happy for you. I would have jumped in, but I don’t have a lot of dry powder. Plus, I don’t see this as a stockpickers market. This is a rising tide raises all ships rally. Full breadth. So I have put nearly everything I have into a mix of index funds. The last two weeks might have been my best ever. But I haven’t locked anything in yet as I still have a funny feeling we are safe through Xmas, so I won’t brag until then.
One new individual name I purchased last week is Tapestry. Luxury handbag manufacturer in a huge acquisition of Capri holdings (Ver$ace, Jimmy Ch00 and M1chael KOrs). TPR is COach, who purchased We1tzman and Spayde already. The story is, Wall Street doesn’t like the acquisition. I did a very deep dive and the synergies and economies of scale gained by TPR by producing those other brands in their own facilities look real good. Accreditive pretty quickly too. 5% dividend while you wait. Take a look. If this rebound has legs, handbags are one of those first things the ladies and trans men (had to get that in there) burn their money on.
Familiar with TPR, Capri and the acquisition…not the type of deal I personally would play but would note for you the best upside for TPR may come from it falling apart…TPR got the snot knocked out of it on announcement, much more than economics would dictate, and if she breaks you could be looking at 20% or so upside just because of that…
IIRC in addition to a break fee there is a ‘must litigate’ clause which is unusual…not really sure how that would be enforced but could muddy any throwing in of the towel.
Though, if you have a high degree of confidence in the deal going through why fuck around with the acquiror’s stock at all?
It’s a cash deal at $57 for CPRI – ie, no risk to consideration for CPRI shareholders due to TPR share price fluctuations.
With CPRI at 48 currently you’re getting a 20% return right there….
“I don’t see this as a stockpickers market. This is a rising tide raises all ships rally. Full breadth.”
Hahahaha…it’s ALWAYS a stock picker’s market, breadth like recently just gives a cushion making it easier…
In a full breadth market if I’m ‘wrong’ on my picks I get ‘only’ the market return of 2-5% yesterday and not the 20% I banked…
In a ‘normal’ market if I’m right on my picks I’m getting 2-5% and if I’m wrong I’m negative….
I’ll take the former, please…

Lib,
Give me a break with that bs study. Yes, let’s do a study during a goldilocks period in the labor market to assess what companies have higher revenue growth. How can you even waste time making this comparison in an environment that is challenging to get your workers to come into work. Chit is a joke and you know it, but you are biased…I already know that.
Again, lib, you would never ever take your hard earned money and start a company with at home workers. FACTS. You are capt cheepo. No f’ing way would you even take on that kind of risk. So give it a rest. Most ceo’s want workers in office for a reason. They are boss and they know best…not the f/ing workers.
And please do not rip on govt employees when you support WFH. That’s a comical position to take.
Yawn…exactly.
“Scoop’s Flex Index data set includes policies from some 7,500 companies of all sizes; 554 publicly traded companies were included in the analysis. (Among those publicly traded companies, 27% have “fully flexible” policies; 55% have a hybrid policy with various in-office requirements; and 17% are full-time in-office.) Office policies in the data set are generated by submissions of current employees that company managers have the opportunity to verify or manual entry of publicly available information such as company web sites or media reports.”
Who in their f/ing right mind actually trusts people? GTFOH. Want to lose your business, start trusting your employees to do the right thing. Right.
“The Flex Index categorizes remote work policies based on corporate-level rules, meaning some employees included in the “fully flexible” category could be subject to team-level in-office requirements. Still, that likely means the office time is more tailored to individual employees’ work, something Lovich says is important when thinking about hybrid policies.
“The more we can empower people closest to the work, the better the work will be,” she says. “For office workers [with mandates], all of a sudden you’re telling me when and where to show up. It says you don’t trust me.””
That’s like saying, we don’t need managers, employees got this. Let’s get rid of teachers, the students got this!
