Tavistock Mays Landing NJ Finally Has Streets Paved After 10 + Years.

Tavistock is a fantastic 55+ community in Mays Landing NJ in Atlantic County.  The community is just off of Route 40 and about 10 minute from the regional shopping area.  Tavistock homes were built in the early to mid 2000s however the builder went belly up and never finished the final layer of pavement on the streets.  The streets were left incomplete until just recently.

Tavistock is one of the best values for 55+ homes.  The homes range from $150,000-$250,000 and have taxes around $5,000 per year and a low home owners association fee of $135.00 per month.  There are twin homes and detached single family homes for sale.  Tavistock has a lovely club house and no pool.  The lack of the pool helps the community keep their association fee low.  Now with the newly paved road it makes it a great time to buy and sell in Tavistock.

3 reasons to buy a house now in Egg Harbor Township, NJ

Is now a good time to buy a house in Egg Harbor Township, NJ?

I often get asked when is the best time to buy a house.  And the answer often depends on your circumstances, goals, and needs.  However in this article I post 3 reasons to buy a house now in Egg Harbor Township, NJ.

  1. Interest rates are low.  Interest rates are now at about 3.92%.  This is a historically low rate.  If rates go up that will decrease the loan amount that a buyer can afford.
  2. Inventory is good but shrinking.  Inventory is down in many of the neighborhoods of Egg Harbor Township.  Lower inventory can cause home prices to increase.  Several communities are experiencing price increases.  It’s better to buy now before prices continue to increase.

  3. Newer inventory of homes for sale.  At the peak of the real estate market Egg Harbor Township was a new construction boom town.  Many developments were built at that time.  There typically is a good inventory of homes for sale that are built in the 90s and 2000s.  If you’re looking for a newer home Egg Harbor Township is a great choice.  There are also developers building brand new homes.

Bonus:  If you have kids buy now to get your children into the school system in time for the new school year.  Egg Harbor Township High School has an A rating.

3 Ways To Buy A Home At The Jersey Shore For Less Than $200,000

How to purchase a vacation home or investment at the NJ shore for under $200,000

Buying a vacation home at the Jersey shore may seem out of reach for most people.  Typical beach homes range in the $400,000 range and up.  However it is possible to purchase something much less and and actually keep the price under $200,000.  Here are 3 ways to purchase a NJ shore beach home for less than $200,000.

Choose a location further from the beach.

Many of our shore town have areas that are further from the beach.  These sections typically have more year round residents and more affordable prices.  For example, I recently listed this ranch home in Ventnor Heights that was raised and renovated and is currently priced at $190,000.  Click here for details on the house.

201 N Somerset Ave, Ventnor, NJ

Choose An Up And Coming Area

Not all shore towns are priced the same and if you’re looking to spend less choose an up and coming area like Atlantic City.  Prices for many homes and condos are under $200,000.  There are some great locations in Atlantic City and some not so great locations.  Choose a local agent who can help you find the right location and home.

Look For A Home Off Shore

If you’re willing to take a short drive you can get more house for the money off shore.  Communities like Somers Point are just a 5 minute drive into Ocean City.  Absecon is just 5 minutes from Atlantic City and 10 minutes to Brigantine.  And if you’re will to drive a little further communities like Egg Harbor Township, Linwood, Northfield and Galloway are within a 20 minute drive to the beaches.

If you’re considering purchasing a shore home or investment please contact us for a free consultation.  No matter what your budget is we’re here to help.
