Blue Asset Management Sees Increase in Sales Activity and Predicts Strong Spring Market
Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner for Blue Asset Management LLC, said his company is seeing more buyers interested in properties so far in 2011. He said his company has received more offers this January and put more properties into contract with buyers during the month than in the prior two months combined.
According to Blumenkehl, "I am particularly surprised that in spite of the hard winter we have been experiencing in New Jersey this month, with all the snow we have gotten, that buyers are actively looking and activity has picked up so much more than the last few months". Blumenkehl continued, "with home prices as low as they are, and interest rates still historically very very low, buyers seem to be focused on getting a good deal and a low interest rate mortgage while they still can. The recent increase in interest rates has still left the mortgage rates for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage below 5%, and has instilled a sense of urgency for many buyers that they get into their home now, and not risk paying more as prices and rates settle in and the real estate recovery in New Jersey becomes more apparent".
Blumenkehl said his fund has over a dozen properties currently for sale in New Jersey, and has signed contracts or is negotiating offers on about half of their available inventory from the first of the year. He anticipates a stronger spring selling market as the weather gets better and more home buyers come into the market.

Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner of Blue Asset Management LLC, announced his company has listed for sale multi-family properties located in Hudson County, New Jersey. According to Blumenkehl, "Our Boyd Avenue and Rutgers Avenue properties are great investments for someone looking to create equity and cash flow. Because the properties are a fourplex and two family respectively, they are smaller than what we would like to keep in our management portfolio for the area, and so the decision was made to list the properties for sale." Blumenkehl said the Boyd Ave. property was completely upgraded, with permits completed for a new roof and upgraded seperate electrical systems, and also has all new flooring, appliances and many other features throughout.
The Rutgers Avenue property is a two family home with off street parking which according to Blumenkehl was also updated and has many new features. Blumenkehl said, "While we view the Hudson county corridor as an area with great investment potential due to its proximity to New York, its affordability relative to the surrounding markets and the addition of the local transit lines, we recognize our need to focus on larger properties for our portfolio and allow smaller operators the opportunity to maintain these solid investments."
Both properties are listed with Rosario Romero of Live Realty in North Bergen, New Jersey, exclusive broker for Blue Asset Management LLC in the Hudson County area. For more information about these properties, contact Ms. Romero at 201 869-8250.

Support National Association of Realtors "Home Ownership Matters" Campaign
Charles Blumenkehl, CEO of Blumenkehl Properties and managing partner at Blue Asset Management LLC, is supporting the "Home Ownership Matters" campaign currently being initiated by the National Association of Realtors.
According to Rismedia, a real estate industry news source, owner-occupied home ownership accounts for 67% of all homes built in the United States, and 15% of the countries Gross Domestic Product (GDP) results from purchases made as a result of buying a home. "Over $60,000 is pumped back into the economy", according to the 1/14/11 Rismedia article, "including furniture, improvements and related items once a home is purchased".
According to Charles Blumenkehl, "Home ownership is a vital part of our economy and provides jobs and stability to the regions. So often, in my Real Estate career, I encountered retirees who were able to retire comfortably solely because of the investment their home, paid off over their years of living there, represented in their financial plan. As Real Estate goes, so goes the country." Blumenkehl continued, "I would strongly advocate a little incentive similar to the one ended in June by the Obama administration. The initiative then helped the economy regain some footing and create more jobs, and the tax monies that flow from the home purchase will more than pay for the same results if the government reinstates even a watered down version of the home buying incentive."

Are delinquent borrowers slowing foreclosure process?
According to Charles Blumenkehl, managing partner for Blue Asset Management, "A percentage of long-delinquent borrowers are taking advantage of every opportunity they can to extend the mortgage foreclosure process while staying in their houses without having to pay their mortgage, taxes and insurance while allowing the properties to deteriorate rather than provide needed maintenance as required."
Blumnkehl continued, “We’re not talking about the homeowner who has no assets, or are unemployed. We are seeing borrowers who are trying to hide their assets, some of which are substantial, file multiple bankruptcies and frivolous motions with the courts, all of which are designed to stall the process so they can continue to save and hide their money at their lenders expense.” “The net result,” according to Blumenkehl, “is that the lenders have to spend more money carrying these bad loans and impacting the overall economic recovery by maintaining high leverages on the books of the lenders while lowering the value and increasing the carry of their assets.”
Blumenkehl is convinced that with the already overwhelming burden on the court systems to assist the lenders in rightfully regaining their properties, this adds to the courts agenda, costing taxpayers more money while extending the ability of the country to recover from the economic meltdown and high unemployment rates. “Until these ‘deadbeats’ are removed from the property, or the courts somehow find a way for these underhanded strategies to be engaged, more people will go longer without jobs, and the country as a whole will pay the price.”
Blue Asset Management was founded by Charles Blumenkehl in 2008 to leverage opportunities resultant from the mortgage crisis and to assist their borrowers and lenders in monetizing their assets and being given the opportunity to start again.
