Real Estate Buzz


What does Real Estate sound like?

We've certainly been short on "ca-ching" and heavy on "crash," "bang," and "ker-splat" this year. But ask indie kids – particularly those from New Jersey – and they'll say Real Estate has the sound of a beachy, breezy summer day.

No, this isn't a reflection of New Jersey's housing market, which has consistently reported high foreclosure rates, as well as falling home sales and prices. They're referring to the band Real Estate, whose founding members hail from Ridgewood, New Jersey, and whose music channels dreamy, psychedelic pop – the kind that makes you want to head to the Jersey Shore and dig your toes in the sand. Even if it's late December.
