Real Estate Market Is Sizzling:  Two Typical Homes

 

The housing market continues to sizzle.  September 11th didn't stop it.  The recession didn't stop it.  Local realtors tell Fair Lawn News that low interest rates combined with good schools and a convenient location have kept the market strong.  

 

The same home that was worth about $5,000 in the 1940’s, $25,000 in the 1960’s, and $65,000 in the 1970’s, is now selling for over 1/4 of a million $.  

 

Two typical homes

The typical Fair Lawn home is a Cape Cod, built in the 1940's, between 1,200 and 1,300 square feet. 

Berdan Avenue home, built in 1947, just sold for $260,000

12th Street home, built in 1942, just sold for $265,000.  

 

See the Fair Lawn News Real Estate pages for more information about the housing market.
