It's worth it. Many people want to live in New Jersey. The house was bought...right?
Yes, the house was bought because I was willing to negociate after an agreed upon price. My husband wanted to make sure that the job would be here and we would not be stuck in NY. For 2 weeks I owned 2 houses because I had to close here first. Luckly I did have the cash to do that, but a young person just starting out would not. I know people want to live there.
This realtor was talking about Millstone Township, which is located near Manalapan. She is a friend from Church there and that is her main territory.
I know 4 houses in my development sold after mine, but for less than I received, one I know was $450k, the others I don't know but was told one was even less than that. They also were able to sell pre reaccessment.

McMansion in Tennessee=Desirable, all-brick home with 65 windows in neighborhood with millionaires who sold their homes in California for millions and bought $400k homes with low taxes, all the while driving sports cars because they like speed
McMansion in New Jersey=Undesirable, vinyl-sided home in neighborhood with 20 and 30-something owners with 20:1 debt to income ratios who drive leased Hummers and menance their neighbors with shopping carts, all the while being thisclose to foreclosure
Did I get this right?
Yeah, you're pretty close to reality there-except on the shopping cart thing
WHOA Nellie.....Does the window washer not know how to count?????
I thought it was 29 windows...he missed counting 15 windows????:rolleyes :
No, I didn't notice he had the side windows extra. It was 20 front, 9 back, rest on side. He said he moved here for a Quality life for his children. Franklin, where he moved has an excellent school system and his taxes are only $2k.

Reason: spelling
McMansion? But I thought she hated the McMansions in Jersey?

When you get your real taxes in Marlboro, y'all faint, its also due for reaccessment.

I notice Brian's late post was deleted here and also the one he posted on the TN board, which was ignored there. That board usually doesn't have problems except for an occassional post from someone in LA.

What does where he lives or his taxes have to do with miss counting your windows

Who cares...except perhaps yourself
We usually don't have problems here..unless someone from another forum trolls over here to do some NJ bashing

So in other words, as a seller, you started out at much too high a price given the current market, and had to go down. Isn't that how it usually happens?

That's because we don't feel the need to go swarming other states' boards with erroneous information, strange and inconsistent complaints, and continuous flaming.
Lacking those things, I'm sure the TN board IS calmer.
