A home in Chatham with “great bones,” sold for nearly 30% more than its list price. The four bedroom, two full and two half bathroom home on a nearly half-acre lot was priced at $1,250,000 -- to reflect that its kitchen and bathrooms needed updating. It closed May 21 for $1,610,000. That’s $360,000 or 29% more than the list price. The median sales price of a home in Chatham was $1.75 million in April, according to the most recent data available from New Jersey Realtors.

Are you a beach person or a boating person? It’s a question Gregory Rice of Coldwell Banker Realty asks buyers when he first meets them. With a house he’s listed in Manasquan, it’s a rare occasion where you don’t have to choose one or the other. The five bedroom, five bathroom home on a massive half-acre lot that juts out into Glimmer Glass Harbor has 490 feet of water frontage — so there’s plenty of room for a large boat or even a few boats or water toys.

If you read the listing for this 125-year-old home for sale in Spring Lake it sounds like it’s being marketed as a tear-down. It’s being called a “rare opportunity to build a custom luxury home in one of the shore’s most desirable communities.”But if you ask Susan S. Careatti of BHHS Fox & Roach Spring Lake, the listing agent, she really hopes someone “rejuvenates” it -- her preferred word for renovating. “I’m a purist and this house depicts what the Spring Lake that I know truly is,” she said.
