Nice try Wells Ct. Would you take 250?
5 years ago that prospect st would have selled for 1.5million easily. Wish I had the money
I havw bwn in the Prospect St. house. It’s beautiful, nothing to fault.
However, most people spending THAT kind of money, want Livingston, Millburn, Short Hills (if they are buying in Essex County. Prospect Street is a major and extremely busy street, where the speed limit is 25 MPH and NObody does that! More like 35MPH …. some more. It’s also along walk to the High School. If the offspring are at least 17, then it’s okay, I guess. Then again, you have similiar homes on Ridgewood Ave in G.R. and they sell. (and) They are not selling to folks in their mid 60s and older, so there are folks with young children buying on very busy streets.
That said, she is a majectic home. I bet I could fit all 7 of my cars in the circular driveway. Would be a nice exhibit.
“5 years ago that prospect st would have selled for 1.”
Right! And ten years ago it sold for 585K. What makes you think that this costs more than 600K. Its taxes is 28K/year, it’s a busy street, mediocre schools and it would take a fortune to maintain it (heat/cool)
Have a sense of perspective. Don’t think in terms of bubble pricing. Prices should go back ten years ago if not more as the taxes went through the roof.
