Sorry but why would one assume that just because some one is looking in Sparta, Lafayette or Newton that they are going to be looking at 700,000K and up??

You are inflating the costs for Sussex County. It's not that expensive. It's not more expensive than Bergen County, and in Bergen County you can get a beautiful home for under $700,000.

I have a friend in Vernon who will be selling his home soon and it's going to be under 700k, and it's a big, newer home with good size property.

There is no way Sussex is on par, pricewise, with Basking Ridge, Bernards, etc. I think you might just be trying to steer business down your way.

Sparta's schools are ranked higher compared to Newton or Lafayette. I would add Washington Twp. (a.k.a. Long Valley), Morris County, to your search.
