I am trying to sell a house in Brigantine NJ. I was told by the Real Estate agent that homes in this area do not get many showing. We have posted a video on Facebook. Any one know of anyone interested? Anyone have any ideas on how to get this house sold?

It was flooded in Hurricane Sandy and completely redone! On top of it being completely redone inside, we raised it so it complies with any flood zones and flood insurance policies.

Its 2 blocks from the beach. It kills me to have to sell it but unfortunately, I lost my job and just cannot afford it.

Please any ideas to get it sold would be greatly appreciated.

I would ask in the South Jersey forum. I would think that would be more of Philly/suburbs destination

Good luck with that one. People are getting a bit smarter these days about buying houses in areas that may be underwater in 20 more years.

Sales seem to be good all along the New Jersey Shore so I don't know where you get that from?

I second that. We looked at apartments there (and I have tons of friends who rent among the gazillion apartments there). I also live in Weehawken, but near the boulevard east area, much higher level, and saving $$

Also, OP - can you post a link to your listing here?

I own a place on the south end of the island and though properties aren't selling in a matter of days, they are moving in my neighborhood IF priced right, although it could take 6 - 10 months. A neighbor recently sold at 20% below market value for a quick sale - not sure if that option is appealing to you especially as you just put a lot of work into it. You're listing it at the right time since peak buying time for beach properties is March / April. I'm guessing the property is priced in line with comps but I'm not familiar enough with that part of the island - looks like a nice house, nice yard and easy walk to the beach.


When we were looking our realtor steered us away from the north end of the island because of the green heads and the flood risk / higher flood insurance premiums. Not sure if other realtors in the area do the same. Given that the house was raised, has that reduced the flood insurance rate? If so, that should be a selling point. Also, looks like your realtor is out of Cherry Hill - probably much better off going with someone local instead of an hour away.
