How closings work in New Jersey
After a contract is signed, both sides have an attorney-review period during which either attorney can cancel or amend the deal. Closings are attorney-run in the north and often title-company-run in the south.
Taxes and transfer costs
Property taxes are among the highest in the country and vary sharply town to town, which is why two similar houses a mile apart can carry very different monthly payments. The seller pays the state realty transfer fee, and higher-priced homes carry an additional buyer-side fee.
Insurance that shapes the file
Shore and bayfront towns carry flood-zone requirements; post-Sandy elevation certificates still shape insurance cost and availability.
Where people are buying
Bergen, Morris and Essex counties · the Jersey Shore · Princeton and Central Jersey · Hoboken and Jersey City · Cherry Hill and South Jersey. First-time and lower-down-payment programs run through the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA).
