Hi again,

Just checking in to see if my responses have helped you at all.

If you give me a call, we can really pinpoint where you can purchase by discussing your needs in detail. There are areas other than those you mentioned what also have good school systems, but they are further away from NYC. By speaking to me directly we can fine tune what you need and where to look.

Feel free to call me at 908-675-0167 to further discuss with no obligation at all.

Best regards,

Mary

Hi again,

Since I last posted, I thought I'd refresh the information I can give you. I searched the MLS for you again and for townhomes in Edison, Metuchen or Woodbridge, listed up to $340K with minimum 3 bedrooms and 2 baths that are not short sales.

You can also visit my website at http://www.MaryPetti.com. There are links to search the MLS and all other kinds of information including school report cards and individual town web sites. Click the "NJ Buyers" tab to get other information.

Please feel free to call me or email me if you are interested in any of these. 908-675-0167 or PruMaryNJ@aol.com.

Dear Buyer,

Answer to your question is that there are several properties in this price range. What I would recommend is to shorten your location criteria.
North Edison obviously has good schools compared to the other two you mentioned. Metuchen follows North Edison.
Please contact me at my cell# 732-277-9321 .My cell phone is ON from 6:00 am- 9:00 pm SEVEN days a week.

Dear Orange,

In North Edison and Metuchen, the prices for ANYTHING 3 bedroom and 2.5 baths (single family or condo) tends to be a bit higher than $325K. That's the price you pay for good schools and proximity to major highways, shopping, trains to NYC etc.

(For example for single family homes right now there are only 5 houses with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths in both areas and they are listed at $479 to $750K !!!)

As a matter of fact in North Edison and Metuchen, as of this posting, there are only three condo units listed between $330,000 and $349,900 with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. There are, however 9 units listed between $372,900 and $549,900.

FYI: In the last 90 days there were 10 closings of 3 bedroom 2.5 bath condos in North Edison and none in Metuchen at all. Sale prices ranged from $290K (an anomaly) to $450K. Median sales price was $353,750.

Hope that helps and feel free to contact me. I am a resident of Edison (zip 08820) since 1983, and my office is in Metuchen. I know the areas very well. If you are interested in these areas, please click on my picture and email me your contact info OR call me directly at 908-675-0167.
