If you’ve been following my posts for a while, you know I don’t like to draw any conclusions from time periods that involve less than 20 home sales. Last year, I waited until the end of the first quarter before publishing any numbers or trying to interpret them.

So what can we conclude from this information? Nothing at all! There are just too few sales for us to work with. I predict that it’ll take six months or so to see if Sandy had any effect on the real estate market in Rumson and Fair Haven. Let’s be patient and wait until we have more information to work with.
