      Scotch Plains, NJ, is a lovely town located in southwestern Union County and is home to approximately 23,500 people.    Scotch Plains has seen a very robust summer real estate market with nearly 100 homes sold this summer. The market has slowed down a bit in September with only 15 homes sold, however. Active listings in Scotch Plains have dropped a bit, resulting in a lowering of the absorption rate. A comparison between the sold listings and the active listings can be used to calculate the absorption rate. The absorption rate is the data upon which real estate professionals identify a market as a "buyer's market" or a "seller's market." If the absorption rate is above 6 months, there are more homes than there are buyers and the market is said to be a buyer's market. If the absor...

Diners in Scotch Plains have a treasure in the Stage House Tavern on Park Avenue. Team Zuhl visited this weekend and had a blast. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, the food is great, and the wait staff is excellent. If you fall in love with the ravioli, as most people do, it's available to take home also. The summer time Free Barbeque  at the Stage House is unbeatable. And, in our never ending search for the best onion rings in the County, these have to be in the top 5. What's your favorite meal at the Stage House?

The first "Harvest Celebration" lasted for three days. Pilgrims and Native American Indians gathered together to rejoice for their gift of food and friendship. Certainly not easy days but they had the fortitude to move on and be thankful for what they did have. Now we know the first Harvest Celebration as " Thanksgiving Day ". A day to be reminded of the gifts we have of family and friends. Let's carry that feeling of warmth each day of the year. Everyday let's reach out to all the people around us and lend support when needed. Times will change and when that sunnier day comes we will embrace it, be stronger and very "Thankful".
