I tried FOREVER looking for something AFFORDABLE in NJ - specifically Holmdel / Colts Neck. Prices for homes in the 700k range are rare, and the homes that fall into that range are in need of repair / really old / undesirable. And, adding to that, are the INSANELY HIGH property taxes.
I live in CA now. Family wants to move back to NJ, except for me. Because it is UNAFFORDABLE. The property taxes are insanely high. Every 6 months, 12k.
Here in CA property taxes are less than half of that amount annually.
What happened to the inventory? I read that NYC folk were suddenly fleeing from their prisons out to suburbia, driving the prices up and inventory down - was that the case for Holmdel / CN?
Why Holmdel and Colt's Neck? Have you looked into areas of Mercer County like Hopewell Township/Pennington or the Amwell areas Of Hunterdon County?
We used to live in Holmdel, in-laws moved 6 mths ago to Holmdel. MIL moved to Monroe retirement. So we'd prefer Holmdel again. I posted an earlier question months ago about comparison between Holmdel/CN - and we had selected Holmdel. So that's our objective.
We may have to choose elsewhere, but I'm not thinking about that right now - that's way down the road.
So it is the insanely high property taxes that I take issue with. The only database I get info from is Zillow.
I'm hoping for more inventory very soon - but if the property taxes are over 17k, i'm out. maybe i could declare my property a "farm" as did Springstein / Jovi years ago.

given your rise in net income by moving to NJ from CA... I dont think property taxes should be a deal breaker
