Obviously, one good month does not mean Ridgewood housing prices are about to head for the stratosphere again.  However, the Ridgewood real estate market has held up very well compared to the rest of the nation and these strong August numbers could mean that we have hit bottom and prices are now on their way back up.  Don’t forget that Ridgewood home prices actually increased in the 2nd quarter of 2008 when compared to 2007 Q2.

Only time will tell, but regardless what the next few months bring, I am a firm believer that Ridgewood real estate is a solid investment – and an even better place to live and raise a family.
