Anyone who attempts to answer a question like this without more specific information regarding both the property and your family's unique needs is, frankly, doing a disservice both to you and to the collective reputation of our profession. My advice would be to contact several highly credentialed brokers (avoid agents) and meet with them in person to inspect the property and discuss your needs and expectations. You incur no obligation by so doing and will obtain valuable insights at no cost.

Best of luck,

Typically homes that are priced right sell very quickly in all of monmouth and middlesex county. It is all about pricing it at it lowest in this market and you may get into a multiple offer situation. This is how this market is. You must have a good agressive realtor and price the home right there is no other secrect to selling in this market. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 908-770-5999

Dear Mary Ann,
Pricing the unit right to sell is key. The good thing is people are down in the area looking but home sales still remain weak due to tighter lending standards and low confidence in home prices. Seaview Island and Compass Pointe are both lovely developments but even these are taking longer to sell if not aggressively priced in this market. Most buyers these days have a vast amount of inventory to pick and choose. If I can forward you any more specific details on prices, closed homes or under contract units, don't hesitate to send me an email at lucyk@remax.net. Best of Luck to you.

The average days on market is 114 for Seaview Island. Only 4 properties have closed there in the last 6 months and the competition is tough--there are currently 9 units for sale.
If you would like additional information, feel free to reach out to me via Trulia or you can go to my website and order a market snapshot. Then, you will be updated monthly on not only the active listings, but the closed properties, too.

depends how aggresive you are when it comes to pricing, My father in-law lives there runs his charter boat out of Belmer prices have come down a little in that area but the plus side is your on the bay WATERFRONT! I sould say if you list it at the right price now by the end of summer it will be gone. Thats my opinion
