Do it! We just found out today that the people we are buying our house from accepted our offer. We move in January 7th.



Damn houses in Jersey are expensive!!
That house would cost 4 times as much out here, and you'd probably have drug dealers down the block.

Compared to NC, we make more out here and the cost of living is way down. Don't know about Jersey wages though.

Damn you guys are lucky to get prices like that. We are looking for our house now, but for 4 bedrooms 2 1/2 baths, living room, dining etc..... Garage we are looking at about $500,000 and that doesnt include the property/tax and *****, which sometimes is around $300,000 depending on where your at.



Chunk O change LOL!

first off...do all that's in your power to not buy a home listed by foxtons...they are not easy to work with...
the only reason that i went to their site is cause a friend of mines used them to sell their home. why do you say that??
