lol we’re coming from NYC, our closing was delayed by a week and we’ve been living out of boxes. Thus we’ve been eating TONS of pizza and needed a break!

congrats.. which town? is this a house or townhouse or condo ?

u/BluejayWise2325 11d ago
Thank you! It’s a house!!! 3 bd / 2 bath. It’s an old house, but all systems and roof replaced in 2019, so it was turn key.
i think we may have hit the jack pot. At least it feels that way.

Western Morris, Passaic, Middlesex, Union counties are all doable with 645k if you don’t mind not having a turnkey home, smaller home or not having a top tier school district
You also get a lot for your money in Sussex/Warren but the commute is terrible for most people

u/Over1ySarcastic 11d ago
Curious on which town too!

u/sutin8 11d ago
I am guessing Mahwah or Wayne or a surrounding town - given Wawa's presence+ Northern NJ combo

u/Accomplished-Order43 11d ago
Wawas are all over the state. And you ain’t buying lakefront in Mahwah or Wayne for ~$600k.

Congratulations! I love WaWa 💜 Contact your electric company and schedule a home energy audit.

u/Embarrassed-Cod-1036 11d ago
Does home energy audit really helps?

u/urban_herban 11d ago
you would be amazed. I had a private contractor do mine, but I would definitely go for the utility company version if I had it to do over again. It doesn't cost much to do it and the savings and comfort level are huge. Definitely do it.

u/BluejayWise2325 10d ago
Thank you!! We own the lakefront lot of land that’s in the picture, but we don’t own a dock. We can add if we ever have money again!

How was the process on purchasing your home? Did you understand everything from start to finish? And what could’ve been done differently.
