Open House, Sunday July 25.  9 Beaver Trail, Lake Tamarack, Stockholm - Hardyston NJ

 Those interested in a vacation property in a Sussex County NJ lake community and folks wanting a small ranch home for sale with an easy commute are likely visitors to my Open House at 9 Beaver Trail in the Stockholm section of Hardyston.  I'll open the doors on Sunday the 25th at 1:00 p.m. and start packing up at 3:30, unless demand dictates I stay later.

 Even though it needs work, I expect this Lake Tamarack home to be very popular. When listed, it was the second cheapest and had BY FAR the largest lot.  Yesterday another seller reduced the asking price, so we are now third on the list. That GSMLS currently indicates 9 Beaver Trail will be the only Lake Tamarack Open House on July 19 - that too could change once other agents read this post. LOL.

 Because 9 Beaver Trail is a furnished (and small) home, I'll only let one party in at a time.  To avoid long waits, I ask potential buyers working with a real estate agent to get him or her to show you the home. Why wait in line when your agent can help avoid that?

Meanwhile, here are a couple video posts for you:

 Located near 3 pristine Sussex County NJ lakes, this ranch home for sale has been totally renovated. You won't be doing tons of repairs, so both your toolbox and credit card can gather dust!

Minerals Resort is a lovely and popular vacation spot in Sussex County NJ - about 50 miles from New York City. Even on this off-season weekend, the hotel was fully occupied. The delightful indoor and outdoor pools, spa, fitness center, indoor tennis courts, handball, basketball, sauna and steam room make this a great getaway. Only skiing at Mountain Creek is seasonal! Several of these Vernon NJ condos are for sale.

For information on the optional rental pool that owners may join, see RealtorIrene Blogs about Sussex County NJ Real Estate: Short Sale - Minerals Resort Hotel and Spa - Vernon Vacation or Ski Condo - Income-Producing Sussex County NJ real estate for sale.

Just today following checkout time, I showed a couple from New York City Minerals Resort condos for sale and we wrote up an offer on one! Alas, it is significantly below the list price of $50,000.  Now, remember that there are only two styles of condos. To be in the rental program, each must be in pristine condition and furnished identically. So, we can readily compare apples to apples.

 Over the last 6 months, 2 like Minerals condos sold - $30K and $31K.  As the listing agent for the one currently Under Contract, I can vouch that this sale will be right in line with the others.

 My potential buyers of this Minerals Resort condo are saavy. I showed them this information - also relayed to the listing agent when I called him about our offer.

What would you have offered for an identical Minerals Resort and Hotel condo for sale?
