Unlike some Sussex County NJ houses for sale that are priced under $200000, this beauty is in tip-top condition. A two bedroom ranch with a Branchville NJ mailing address, this Wantage Township gem at 41 Beemer Church Road sits on .84 acres yet is in a great location for commuters.
Whether purchasing your first home or downsizing from a big one, this ranch rocks!
Immaculate inside and out, the renovations have been done already. This is the place for bargain hunters who do NOT want to rehab a house.
Mailing address is Branchville NJ but taxes and schools are Wantage. Age and square feet directly from tax assessor.
We decided against showing interior photos because you really WANT to come take a look.

Irene Kennedy, who is a NJ real estate agent with Weichert, Realtors, lives in Sussex County & works from the Hamburg office. Her market includes: Augusta, Branchville, Crystal Springs, Frankford, Franklin, Hamburg, Hampton, Hardyston, Highland Lakes, Lake Mohawk, Newton, Ogdensburg, Scenic Lakes, Sparta, Stockholm, Sussex, Vernon, Wantage.
Just about 2 months ago my Sussex County NJ real estate business exploded and I've been juggling non-stop. For example, with homes for sale in Franklin NJ and in Highland Lakes NJ, I had offers within two weeks of listing them. Both have absentee owners, so I'm going the extra mile to ensure the transactions close smoothly. Both are rapid closings.
My hubby Chip Mandell (a licensed real estate agent who does NOT handle residential) has been pinch hitting. Chip has been awaiting town inspectors, meeting well testers, installing smoke detectors, etc. A specialist in land sales, Chip helped me prep for a recent listing appointment; I requested that he accompany me. The owner was most impressed with our complimentary expertise. Too, Chip toured the farm taking outside pictures while I covered the residence.
Chip has been stuck cooking 90% 99% of our meals - and he is great at it. He suffers through my periods of stress and exhaustion. Knows when to chat or when to just let me chill a bit.
This upsurge has caused me to neglect my blogging AND my wonderfully supportive life partner. I'll get back on track very soon but clearly know which is a higher priority.

Irene Kennedy, who is a NJ real estate agent with Weichert, Realtors, lives in Sussex County & works from the Hamburg office. Her primary market includes: Augusta, Branchville, Crystal Springs, Frankford, Franklin, Hamburg, Hampton, Hardyston, Highland Lakes, Lake Mohawk, Newton, Ogdensburg, Scenic Lakes, Sparta, Stockholm, Sussex, Vernon, Wantage. With her vast network, however, Irene Kennedy also can help you find an equally talented real estate agent elsewhere.
While writing an offer today for a new client on my new Highland Lakes NJ foreclosure listing (yeah!), I missed a phone call from an out-of-area number I didn't recognize. As responsive as I try to be to calls, my view is that when I'm working intently with one customer, that person deserves my undivided attention. Just as soon as the contract was done, I checked my voicemail.
A woman politely inquired about the time for a church service on the lake. Honestly, I suspected she had made an error in dialing. I was clueless but returned her call. Seems this lady and her husband wanted to attend a service held on boats on Culver Lake in Frankford NJ (Branchville). She told me someone loads an organ on one, the boats tie together, and a worship service occurs. I sure never had heard of this - but doesn't it sound wonderful?
Mrs. & Mr. B don't live in the area and didn't even know the name of the church. She had Googled. Guess who showed up as the expert for Sussex County NJ lake communities? That would be moi. Thanks to my series on vacation homes for sale around Sussex County NJ, Mrs. B turned to me.
When Mrs. B shared that she met her husband during her visit to Culver Lake and that they had just celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary, I had a new mission. Although dated, I found an article describing the "float service" on Culver Lake.
Can't tell you just how thrilled Mrs. B was when I called her back with full details. Furthermore, when she and Mr. B are ready to make their dream come true of purchasing a Culver Lake home for sale, she intends to call me to help. While I'm not pre-spending that commission check, it sure was great that:

Irene Kennedy, who is a NJ real estate agent with Weichert, Realtors, lives in Sussex County & works from the Hamburg office.

This Sparta NJ market report is based on information in GSMLS as of September 2, 2009. Data for previous months has been updated; for example, if a Lake Mohawk home for sale went Under Contract, the deal fell apart and the home is again on the market, the previous months were adjusted.
Market data for Sparta NJ real estate shows that 17 homes sold in August with an average sale price of $532,382 - an increase from the previous month. Sparta's average Sale to List price was 94% - typical.
For the new listings of 57 homes for sale in Sparta, the average price is $573,280 (another increase). The average list price for Sparta homes that went Under Contract $379,714 - a significant decrease from July and sad news for Sparta owners of the larger, more expensive homes for sale. Additionally, if one compares the closings in August to the active listings, we're looking at just under 5% actually closing a deal.
As of 9/2/09, Lake Mohawk real estate market data shows 6 sales - from $227,500 up to a lakefront Colonial selling for $995,000. A slight decrease as we hit September, the 74 active Lake Mohawk homes for sale still give buyers lots of options!

This pre-foreclosure vacation condo at Minerals Resort Hotel and Spa in Vernon NJ is listed for sale at just $36000. Minerals Resort is within the Great Gorge Village compound, nestled at the Mountain Creek ski slopes and home of the acclaimed Minerals Golf Course. Sussex County NJ is also a golf paradise with may other local golf courses - Crystal Springs, Ballyowen, Wild Turkey, Great Gorge, Cascades and Black Bear. Street address is 2 Chamonix Drive, Vernon, NJ.
Just today the current owner shared his rental statistics, which show that his portion of the 2008 rental-pool income more than covered the annual taxes and maintenance fees on this Minerals Hotel vacation property! Based on his 2009 documentation, rentals of this Minerals Resort getaway condo in Vernon NJ appear equally robust this year. Of course, no guarantees can be made about future rentals, the management's apportionment of such income down the line, etc.
Moreover, you could opt not to have your Minerals Resort condo be part of the rental pool at all. Especially as this Vernon hotel-style condo is a Short Sale offered at just $36000, you may want to keep every weekend open for you, family, friends, employees, etc. Sussex County NJ is a year-round vacation destination, just about 50 miles from New York City.

Covering SUSSEX COUNTY NJ real estate, I help home sellers & home buyers with a WIN-WIN deal. Among areas I cover are: Branchville, Crystal Springs, Frankford, Hamburg, Hardyston, Sparta & Vernon.
You will soon have confidence that someone is taking your real estate investment and requirements very seriously! Based in Sussex County, I'm a full-time real estate agent licensed in New Jersey.
Even though I'm very serious about handling buying a home or selling a home in a professional and respectful fashion, I do enjoy this business and try to make it pleasant for all parties. You gain peace of mind knowing that you have a dedicated, full-time Realtor working for you and with you.
Whether you are considering becoming a full-time resident, a snowbird or a vacation home owner, Sussex County NJ real estate has much to offer. Anyone not familiar with the area might enjoy my series on vacation properties in Sussex County. In various posts, I discuss lake communities & golf course homes (Crystal Springs resort), ski condo options, etc. Future posts will cover Lake Mohawk in Sparta and also our hotel-condos - Appalachian, Grand Cascades, Minerals.
Because I strive to treat each client as if she or he is the only one that matters, I've had success in a wide range of real estate areas. I help buyers "steal" their dream home and have my sellers "pinching themselves to make sure they're not dreaming" - sometimes on the same transaction. I've successfully worked with builders to sell new-home communities.
Many of my recent deals have been NJ distressed properties: short sales and REOs (bank-owned foreclosures); I welcome these and have great results in closing on them. I also know how to determine which distressed properties would be a nightmare for potential buyers.
If I could crawl through the phone line, I'd kiss you!
Owner of a ski-area condo when I reached out to see if she had any interest in selling her unit.
I'm working with buyers who have very specific requirements, not met by current listings. So, I identified condos that do meet my buyers' needs and reached out to the owners. Another owner wants to sell too but he didn't mention kissing me. Guess that would happen when I get him an offer!
Update April 29
That seller I quoted is now even happier, as my buyers submitted an offer on the condo. I negotiated a win-win contract. Closing is scheduled for May 22. Neither side lives locally, so I'll be providing some above-and-beyond services - I am always willing to go that extra mile. My buyers are delighted; my sellers are delighted. And I'm doubly delighted, as I'm sure you can guess.
Happy Ending
For the finale, I have a very special post: Million Dollar Real Estate Service in Sussex County - at a Fraction of that Price.
