It's Loft Farm, and yes, it is very nice. You probably aren't getting one for $450k. There are currently five 3br units available, the lowest price of which is listed at $509k. I guess you could try getting that one for $450k, The last 3BR unit to close under $500k, though, sold for $476,500, in June of '05.

I'm not a Middlesex guy, so I don't know what you'll find there. But in Somerset county you can get close, if you are willing to look in Franklin, Hillsborough, Branchburg, & Montgomery. There's also one currently in Raritan Boro that strikes me a a bargain. Raritan Boro is a tiny little town that most people probably think is in Bridgewater. And it's part of the Bridgewater Raritan School system. There are a few available in Bridgewater, though not many, and two currently in Bedminster. I have no way to filter the list for high ceilings, and your definition of spacious rooms might be different from mine, but you can look at this list to find out if there's any area or community youy seem to like. These are all CURRENTLY available, and from the MLS. They are NOT my listings.

I'm sorry but who would want to live out/down there? Your prices are lower than North Jersey...Essex County.

The market is very bad right now. House prices aren't going up, they're all going down. I would say you could get one for 450k.. just make an offer and you would be surprised at the results.

As you might guess from my clearly indicated profession, I have some insight on the market. From my just as clearly identified town of residence, you might also guess I have some knowledge of Martinsville. I stand by my statement. I'd be VERY surprised if you could get even that one for under $450k. Possible? Sure, I guess so. Likely? No. Worth a try? Absolutely, there's nothing to lose by trying, but don't get your hopes up.

I do like that development, but it seems there is a lot of inventory that's been sitting on the market for awhile now. I have to assume it's because of the high selling price of the units.

Ok, my posts keep getting taken down because they are viewed as advertising. I am not trying to advertise. I just wanted to tell you that I think you will find what you are looking for in a community called The Villages at Heritage Woods in Old Bridge, NJ. The homes are around 2 years old, and they have the high ceilings, 2 story fam rooms, spacious rooms you said you were looking for, and I think you can get one in your price range. They back to the woods for privacy. My 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath homes, 1 car garage.

We've had our townhouse on the market for 1.5 months (Morris county 2300 sq. ft. 3 bdrms + ofc) 31 showings, 3 offers, between $30K & $50K too low. There are 3 in our development for sale, all within the same price. I can't blame people for making low offers, but many of us are not going to accept low ball offers.
