  4. While headlines blare the bad news of a slumping real estate market, the service industries that feed on real estate are struggling as well. Title companies, lenders, pool contractors, pest inspection — if homes aren’t being built, if they aren’t selling, and if homeowners have reduced disposable income in their pockets, the ripple effects can be tremendous. Many areas of New Jersey are also in a big value drop.
