Hi Jenny,
I dont know if you found something already or are you still looking.
I have lived in Manalapan for the passed 15 years and love it here, my kids have graduated from the school system and it is a great school system as you know.
I know the area very well and would love to assist you with you search, there are some very nice townhomes and some are priced bellow market for several reasons. Please call me and I would love to go over your needs and send you some listing. You can reach me at 908-770-5999

There is alot out there right now, especially if buying a short sale or foreclosure

Hi Jenny,

Considering your family and the schools is a very wise decision. Not only are schools of crucial importance for providing a good education for our children, they also reflect positively on home values. As a team we have over thirty years of experience in Monmouth and Middlesex counties. I understand your interest in Manalapan, which is a beautiful town, but I would suggest expanding your search to towns such as East Brunswick. I suggest this for three reasons- East Brunswick has a blue ribbon school system, and you can purchase more of a home for less, and Middlesex county offers a down payment assistance program. We can discuss the aspects of that assistance program over the phone. I would be glad to help you in your search and I am currently working with a client that has just qualified for this assistance program.

Best

Hi Jenny,
Manalapan is a nice town with a good school system but tends to be pricey. If you go a little farther south to Freehold or Howell you may find a good deal and they also have good school systems.

If you would like me to look up specific townhomes in your price range feel free to contact me. I am very familiar with Manalapan, Freehold and Howell and would be happy to work hard and find you a great home. I cover all of Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex Counties in NJ.

Thanks,

Best advice would be to team up with an agent from that area and a loan officer. There are many loan programs out there - some counties even offer special grant programs. A lender from this area will be best to assit you with what price range you can get a mortgage for as well as remain in a comfortable budget.

Once you know how much you can comfortably afford, team up with an agent from Manalapan or surrounding areas. They'll be able to guide you through what townhome developments would best suit your needs. Any other questions, feel free to contact me direct if you want!
