Real Estate Bomb: Foxtons Folds




Foxtons signs have been a familiar sight.

Foxton's, the West Long Branch-based subsidiary of a London real estate company known for its discounted commissions is filing for bankruptcy, according to this morning's Asbury Park Press.

Plainfield's full-service realtors will not miss it. In fact, their reluctance to show Foxtons' listings may have helped contribute to the firm's demise in today's tough market.

The same can't be said for Foxtons customers, caught in the middle, as the firm shuts down.

Not a good sign for the New Jersey real estate market.

Question: Who's next?




The ubiquitous Foxtons Mini Cooper will be seen no more.
