Buying that Lincroft Handyman Special in Middletown, New Jersey

The incomparable deal for the cheap Lincroft home ranks up there in mythic proportion with Ahab's jab at his coveted white whale.

"Call me, Andrew, with the steal of the century."

Not to discredit the appearance of Moby on the horizon, but the elusive can't miss buy is rare. And I define that unicorn as a super aggressively priced home that requires minimum repair or upgrading.

And that's the good news.

When a wave of distressed properties hits a neighborhood, not too many mammals (neither man nor whale) can swim against a down current of real estate values. A whirlpool of collapsing prices begets ever decreasing prices. Bottom ceases to be a destination; it becomes a dream, a myth.

Fortunately, that maelstrom has bypassed Lincroft.

There are Lincroft handyman specials for sale below the average sale price of Lincroft Middletown NJ, an average of $519,000.

>> Lincroft, Middletown NJ homes priced below $500,000

Some of these homes will require major renovation to bring them up to the standard of their neighbors. The deal of a century could happen for the smart buyer who is patient, skilled in remodeling and takes a long-term view.

Will it take a hundred years for you oh Captain, my Captain to bag your catch? Let's hope not.
