Pricing a home correctly can feel like walking a tightrope – especially in a competitive and diverse market like New Jersey.
Go too high, and your listing risks being ignored. Go too low, and you may sell fast but regret it later. Most homeowners aren’t targeting to ‘win’ the market. They simply want a fair price, a smooth process, and a timely sale.
The good news? Selling quickly doesn’t mean selling short. With the right strategy, you can attract serious New Jersey home buyers while still protecting your home’s true value.

10,000+ fewer blood donations, a 40% drop in recent weeks, leaves less than a two-day supply across the region
NEW JERSEY — New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS) has declared a blood emergency and is issuing an urgent call for donors. Holiday disruptions, severe winter weather, canceled blood drives, and widespread seasonal illnesses have led to a significant decline in blood donations, resulting in critically low levels across the region.
In recent weeks, blood donations have dropped nearly 40% below what is needed to meet hospital demand, resulting in less than a two-day supply of blood for more than 200 hospitals across the tri-state area. The emergency declaration follows an exceptionally challenging end to the year, caused by a combination of events that sharply reduced blood donations:

Bills would strengthen public safety in New Jersey and protect families in sensitive community spaces
(TRENTON) — The Assembly Judiciary Committee advanced two bills, sponsored by Assemblywoman Ellen Park, designed to protect immigrant communities in a way that reinforces trust in our local and state law enforcement and ensures New Jersey remains a place where all families can live, work, and access essential services without fear.
The committee advanced bill A6310, which would codify the Attorney General’s “Strengthening Trust Between Law Enforcement and Immigrant Communities” directive, also known as the Immigrant Trust Directive, which has been upheld by state and federal courts.
The Directive reaffirms that there is a necessary distinction between State, county and local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. It makes clear that it is not the role of State, county, or local police officers in New Jersey to carry out federal civil immigration enforcement. The federal government is responsible for enforcing federal civil immigration violations. New Jersey law enforcement officers are already tasked with the demands of protecting the public, investigating state criminal offenses, and enforcing state criminal law.
We are sad to announce the death of Richard John Cyzewski, beloved husband, father, grandfather, mummer, and friend to many, on December 31, 2025.
Richard was born in Philadelphia, PA, on August 15, 1930, to Paul and Rose Cyzewski. He attended Northeast High School, and was a star player on their basketball team. One of his first jobs was at the iconic Stetson Hat Company where he met their most famous customer, John Wayne.
Richard proudly served in the United States Marine Corps. during the Korean War. His difficult to pronounce last name was changed to Ski by a Parris Island boot camp Colonel. It became Richard’s life-long nickname. After proudly surviving boot camp, he was stationed at the Pentagon as a staff car driver, responsible for providing specialized transportation services for high-ranking officers, distinguished visitors, and command staff. His most memorable passenger was Neil Armstrong who Ski described as the nicest guy he met in the Corps.

I place full blame for Sunday’s loss squarely on Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni. His decision to bench the starters was a costly mistake. The Eagles fell to Washington 24–17, and with that loss, they missed a golden opportunity to secure the NFC’s No. 2 seed. Instead, they’re stuck at No. 3 and now face a red-hot 49ers team next week. Had the Eagles won, they would’ve earned two home playoff games. Now, they’ll only get one. That’s a massive difference in postseason advantage. The 49ers, led by MVP-caliber running back Christian McCaffrey—who’s also a dangerous receiving threat—have won six straight before falling to the top-seeded Seahawks on Saturday night. Their recent victories include: Bears by 4 Panthers by 11 Colts by 21 Rams by 3 (in OT) Seahawks by 4 If we had clinched the No. 2 seed, we’d be facing the Packers instead—a far more favorable matchup. Earlier this season, the Eagles dominated Green Bay, holding Jordan Love and his offense to just 7 points. He looked completely overwhelmed. As for the argument that the team needed rest? That’s nonsense. These are professionals. The Bears, who secured the No. 2 seed, played their starters. Every team with something to gain did the same. If your seed is locked, fine—rest your starters. But when there’s still a chance to move up, you play to win. Coach Sirianni has been at the helm since 2021 and even led the team to a Super Bowl victory (LIX). But his decision on Sunday was inexcusable. In my opinion, it was a boneheaded move that could cost us dearly.
