Don’t leave this post just because it appears to be dated. This is actually the latest version of This Month In Real Estate. Rest assured, each month it automatically updates to the newest version. So have a look.

Ok. If you haven’t watched This Month In Real Estate before, here’s the deal. It’s a brief update on the state of the US real estate market. US. Not local. So please understand that what is being said may not apply to you. Real Estate is local — even hyper local so make sure you have all the numbers before you make any real estate decisions.

Enjoy.

This is reality in 2009.

Every month, I will breakdown the number of properties in each of our towns for which a lis pendens has been filed in the past 30 days..

What is a lis pendens?

In essence, it’s the beginning of the pre-foreclosure process.

I have addresses for these homes — but will not be putting those in print.

So here’s what has been happening in our area over the past thirty days.

Millburn – 2
Short Hills – 0
Maplewood – 1
Livingston – 1
West Orange – 5
Springfield – 0
Summit – 0
New Providence – 0
Berkeley Heights – 1
Madison – 0

So what have I been doing with my free time?

Well, I’ve been spending quite a bit of it on Twitter and Facebook jabbering mindlessly with old and new friends. It’s so refreshing. No burning buildings, plane crashes or economic Armageddon.

In addition, I’ve been watching a lot of reality television. Perhaps too much.

Yesterday, after I ripped a copy of Death In Venice out of my three year old’s hands, I brought him upstairs to watch American Idol.

“American Idol — How Lowbrow”

“Hell yes it’s lowbrow and I loved it.”

I can’t say as much for my son. He was cool with the first three contestants — but once that spikey haired kid started singing the Rolling Stones, my boy began flipping out.

“I don’t like this Daddy. Turn it off now! I want the other one. The girl.”

After swinging his wiffle ball bat at the television a few times he sprinted over to his room and cried on his pillow until he fell asleep.

That dude won’t be getting my son’s vote.

I skipped the evening news and went down to my office and read some very import stuff on the internet. My favorite thing was an article about family pets who use Twitter. There was also a cool piece discussing whether or not astronomers believe in aliens.

‘Trust me, there are aliens. I’ve met a few at my open houses. You should be frightened.”

Cut to the chase.

So I woke up this morning. Brought my son to daycare. Came home. Went to the gym. It’s in my basement. Turned on Regis and Kelly — and guess who appeared.

The Donald. For those of you from other galaxies. I’m talking about Donald Trump.

Anderson Cooper who was standing in for Regis threw out a question about the economy, probing Donald as to where he was putting his money.

I don’t remember exactly what Trump said, but he mentioned that he just signed a contract to purchase the Lowes Island Club, a property that he has been after for years.

He then looked at Anderson and Kelly and said, “It’s a great time to buy.”

What did Donald Trump say?

“IT’S A GREAT TIME TO BUY.”

What does Jesse Kaye say?

“ITS A GREAT TIME TO BUY IF YOU DO IT RIGHT.”

The Obama Administration has finally unveiled the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan.
