Despite delays by a blizzard, 25 Meadow Pond Road closed on March 2; sale price of $169,900.  A bank-owned 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath townhouse in Indian Fields in Hardyston NJ, this foreclosure needed painting and flooring.  The final list price of $169,900 brought in multiple offers; it sold for full list price.  The average list-to-sale price ratio in Sussex County is 95% but this townhome with a Hamburg zip code was still a great deal.

Rain this week melted the snow piles and I went to finally free my sign from the ground. A painting crew was unloading its van; told me beautiful hardwood floors already grace the ground floor. They were about to paint the entire inside of this Indian Fields townhome. It really warms my heart that these first-time home buyers who benefit from the tax credit are transforming an sad foreclosure into a lovely home.

May 25 Meadow Pond Road in Indian Fields, Hardyston NJ be full of love, laughter and health!

Yesterday, my "blog buyer" closed on a wonderful bank-owned foreclosure for sale in West Milford NJ - the Upper Greenwood Lake community. A totally renovated, 2 bedroom ranch in the Hewitt section; I knew it was perfect for Dr. Alvaro Alban; made him come from Manhattan - New York City - to see it within 2 hours of it being listed.

For 2 months, I've had this picture ready to use. Not a single aspect of the sale of 54 Cedarbrook Road, Hewitt-West Milford, went smoothly - from my perspective. While I didn't share this with Al until after closing, I had given up hope for this one! Called it my train-wreck deal and had visions of lawsuits.

Al had selected Sussex County NJ attorney Marleen Horlacher to represent him; she is a deal-maker with whom I do many, many real-estate transactions. Without the superb support of Marleen and her assistants Justine and Karen as part of our buyer team, the deal would not have closed. The train wreck would have taken place.

On New Year's Eve we submitted Al's highest-and-best offer of $151,000 to close January 29. My extensive experience with foreclosures for sale meant we crafted an offer with many terms attractive to a bank selling an REO.  Among issues potentially leading to a train wreck with this lake community foreclosure for sale:

1. A scan found an underground oil tank. Fighting for my buyer, I eventually got the bank to agree to remove it. Turned out it was an abandoned water well, not an oil tank. 

2. Time to dewinterize for closing and "the ground pipes were frozen," which shouldn't be.  Al was pushed to close even though there was not a drop of water to the home. Weeks of touch-and-go during which I envisioned lawsuits. We triumphed. No pipes had frozen; the well was not correctly primed by the seller's handyman.

3. And last but not least was my buyer himself. A dedicated physician with an expanding medical practice and the devoted dad of a lovely young lady considering my alma mater, Duke, Dr. Alban didn't have time to handle a thing. (His New York City location didn't help.) Good thing I really came to like and respect Al because he made me work doubly triply hard! Our running joke was that getting me a commission check was both our top priority!

40 days after our original closing date, we did the final walk through and headed to Marleen Horlacher's for the closing.  There we learned that 54 Cedarbrook Road, Upper Greenwood Lake appraised far, far above the $151,000 sale price. A great lake community home with instant equity for a buyer who found me from my blog posts - almost makes me forget the interim! We're all thrilled the train wreck was just a near-miss.

 

Much happiness and joy in your new home, Al!

Foreclosure sold in Indian Fields on March 2 to first time home buyers enjoying the tax credit!

Update January 29 - An offer was accepted on this foreclosed Indian Fields townhome in Hardyston NJ and a sale is proceeding!

*********************************************

A second HUGE price reduction on this Indian Fields home for sale. This bank-owned townhome for sale in Hardyston NJ (zip shared with Hamburg NJ, so it may appear as in that town) has had several offers that were rejected. Yes, it needs some work but is far from a dump.

At just $169,900 someone is going to snatch up this in Indian Fields REO home for sale in Hardyston NJ - assuming they consider the points in Want to Steal a Foreclosure - Sussex County NJ? I smell a sale in the works...

Considering selling a vacation home or looking to buy a Sussex County NJ getaway property? This is one that you should see. 

Irene Kennedy, who is a NJ real estate agent with Weichert, Realtors, lives in Sussex County & works from the Hamburg office. Irene's contact data is to the right.

The price on 25 Meadow Pond Road in Hardyston's Indian Fields community has been slashed by 5%. A Freddie Mac foreclosure home for sale in Sussex County NJ, the list price is now just $179500. This townhouse has 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. A finished, walkout basement adds to the value of this interior townhome.

Because Hardyston and Hamburg share a zip code within Sussex County NJ, this REO may appear as a Hamburg foreclosure home for sale on some IDX feeds. 25 Meadow Pond Road is actually in Hardyston and so listed in the GSMLS system.

Even before the price reduction on this AS-IS Indian Fields townhome, it was the least expensive within the community. And, unlike a short sale, buyers will enjoy a rapid response to their offer; bank-owned foreclosures can be a great deal.

Work will be required on this 1995 Indian Fields foreclosure home for sale. Certainly patching and painting are essential. Carpets are shabby and the kitchen vinyl isn't great.  Some plumbing repairs are in the cards and a few thermal windows are cracked. No, it is NOT in tip-top shape, which accounts for the value pricing of this Hardyston-Hamburg townhome for sale in Sussex County NJ.

While not the right choice for all buyers, 25 Meadow Pond Road in Indian Fields is a great deal for someone wanting a 2 bedroom townhouse in a very popular Sussex County community! This foreclosure is priced to attract real interest.

This bargain is a foreclosed 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom interior townhouse in Indian Fields. (Hardyston township shares a Hamburg NJ zip code.) In one of Sussex County's most desirable communities, this Freddie Mac REO is priced to move very, very quickly. I'm very excited to be able to offer this real estate listing at 25 Meadow Pond Road.

On the day it was listed (November 6, 2009), it is - at $188900 - by far the least expensive active home for sale in the Garden State MLS for the section Indian Fields.

Does it need wall prep and interior painting? Sure does.

Does it need new carpeting? Without a doubt. Personally, I'd also replace the vinyl floor in the kitchen.

Are a couple of the thermal windows cracked and in need of replacement?  You betcha.

Does the difference between $188900 and $224900 more than compensate for the work that is needed?  I certainly think so and strongly suspect that buyers will too!

The electric should be on later today; the cleaning will occur on/by Wednesday, Nov. 11. Showings, however, can already begin.  It does have a finished, walkout basement too!

This bank-owned Indian Fields townhouse in Hardyston NJ is certainly what I view as one of Sussex County's current hot homes for sale. With an REO, fast decisions and closings are possible. It is being sold entirely AS-IS and the buyer will have to cover transfer tax, Certificate of Occupancy and winterization costs associated with home inspections. But it is still a great real estate deal!

This Fannie Mae foreclosure is a move-in condition bank-owned, 3+ bedroom home for sale in Wantage - Sussex County NJ! Unlike some short sales, buyers can close on this REO very rapidly - in time for the $8000 tax credit. This bi-level is on a mountain in the Lake Neepaulin lake community within Wantage.

While I am not the actual listing agent, my parent company is and has honored me with the task of bringing in the buyers for this Wantage foreclosure property. New, neutral carpet has been installed in the living room, hallway and 3 upstairs bedrooms.  All the rooms have been freshly painted.

Reasons I predict this Sussex County NJ bank-owned home for sale will go quickly:

• Priced in the range most attractive to first-time buyers;
• Quick closing is possible;
• It can be used as a 3 or 4 bedroom home;
• 3 full bathrooms - most unusual;
• Few REO homes for sale in Sussex County are this nicely fixed up;
• Lake Neepaulin is one of the many Sussex County lake communities that are popular for year-round residents and for vacation homes.

Update Sept. 19 - This Sussex County NJ foreclosed home for sale attracted a huge amount of interest and multiple offers. Freddie Mac/HomeSteps has accepted one and kept another as a backup. Alas, there isn't an equivalent home for sale in Highland Lakes right now - or I'd have a deal on it too right now!

At long last, this fabulous three-bedroom ranch home for sale in Highland Lakes NJ awaits you! An attractively priced foreclosure in Sussex County NJ, this Vernon home has the most spectacular lake views. Whether you seek a vacation property or a permanent residence, this ranch in Highland Lakes might just be the deal for which you've been waiting!

Offered at just $167000 - in time to benefit from the $8000 first-time home buyer tax credit!

Since early July, I've been VERY excited about listing 29 Lakeside Drive - Highland Lakes (Vernon NJ) for sale because it is in such good condition compared to typical REOs for sale - Highland Lakes and elsewhere. Freddie Mac/HomeSteps has been most generous in funding "make ready" work. The neglected yard got a long overdue haircut (as a neighbor stood and cheered!). The Vernon NJ home for sale has been emptied and cleaned - see the terrible "before" photo. Some steps are still in the works: electric repairs and removal of the living room carpet/reseal the underlying hardwood floors. This Highland Lakes foreclosure home for sale will also have the plumbing checked once we can operate the well pump. (It had been winterized.)

I'm delighted to report that it no longers looks like that photo. This Vernon NJ home for sale is now ready for buyers to come take a peek! With the lake right across the street, I anticipate a great deal of interest from:

• first-time home buyers wanting to purchase in time for the $8000 tax credit ;
• those downsizing and wanting a smaller home - particularly a ranch;
• folks seeking a vacation or getaway property in a lovely Sussex County NJ lake community;
• all house hunters seeking a fabulous deal!
