Sayreville Couple Lands Dream Home For Affordable Price

When John and his girlfriend, Priscilla, received the news that the house they rented in South Amboy was being sold by the owner, they started to evaluate whether or not they could become homeowners themselves. They decided to explore houses for sale in their area and settled on a home in Sayreville after a thorough search. Recently they shared with us their buying experience in the Sayreville housing market.

Given current speculation about the real estate market, the couple set out hoping to capitalize on local opportunities, but had no idea they would be able to find their dream home for such a reasonable price. "It surprised me how much the previous owner of our home had come down (on price) because originally we thought it was out of our price range," John said. "Our REALTOR® helped us negotiate to a point where we could afford it."

While on their search for a new home, the couple's REALTOR® kept in constant contact with them to ensure their buying experience was positive and they remained informed on the current logistics of their market. "She was nice and informative," John said. "She helped us out a lot. We would look online and she would get us the listings we asked for along with information about the location “ she was very honest with us."

As a designer, John knew he was ultimately looking for not only a home for a great price, but also a place that allowed him to express his creativity. "We were really looking for something with more space, a backyard and being able to have a place of our own with the freedom to do what we wanted was a major factor," he said. "As a designer, it was important to me to be able to not have to deal with white walls anymore!"
