Compare this post to my January 2010 update: Great Gorge Village - Early 2010 Snapshot of Real Estate Activity - Vernon NJ. Great vacation homes or residences
Whether you're considering Great Gorge Village condos for vacation homes or permanent residences, the fact that this neighborhood is nestled at Mountain Creek ski resort is always a plus. Both for year-round and weekend getaway owners, Sussex County NJ is a great choice.
I prepared some statistics on April 16, 2009 for a specific deal, so this focuses more on condos with at least 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Thought others might benefit from this overview, based on data from the Garden State MLS system.
I look forward to your questions about Vernon NJ real estate and Sussex County vacation properties!

Nice blog Irene!
Joel,
I do believe you are the devil who talked me into getting an outside blog. (And then helped me actually do one!)
Am totally hooked and I appreciate your early advice. I also did the webinar, which gave lots of hints about tags, channels, topics.
Thanks to you, I'm much smarter than I was a few weeks ago.
Irene
