I hate to say it but you are in a no-win situation. They will find something else to complaint about - if it is not parking, it will be the garbage cans, snow removal, noise. You just hope the police stop responding to their calls - or just do a drive by to calm them.

First try to find a good buyer's agent - very important especially in a hot market.

Develop criteria for what you want in a home so that you can give your realtor specific instructions as some realtors will try to over sell you. Besides the number of bedrooms, baths, location - what are other items are must have!

For me they were as follows:

  • No major fix up as I am handy but not skilled enough to do it myself
  • Good school district - easier to sell as you will resell it
  • No double yellow-line - indicates high traffic area- tougher to resell
  • No corner property (More noise and traffic, larger area to maintain)
  • No sump pump or drainage issue (This one is tough but doable as you will need to look at history of the area)..
  • No HOA

Good Luck - all those towns meet your criteria for a compute to Newark.

LOL, blaming Christie - get real - no project in NY/NJ metro area runs on or near budget. As soon as they start digging, environmental will crop up and then union issues will occur. This one will also probably double by its end.
