Here we are January 21st, 2022 and the Real Estate market in Nutley seems like it's on fire, we are all asking the question this year, will there be a crash in the Real Estate Market in Nutley NJ?
There are a couple of things going on right now they may cause people to think that the market wil start to shift by the end of 2022, right now buyers are chashing the rising interest rates out there, while home buyers are waiting to put their home on the market because they are either think it will go up in value or they have no idea where or what they would be able to buy when they sell their home.
Right now we know rates are going to rise and also we have the issue of building material and labor, covid has caused a back log of supply chain issues accross the globe and the U.S. is no excpetion.
We are in the perfect storm in Nutley, home owners that are not ready to put there home on the market and a whole generation that is ready to buy, builders not keeping up with population demand and building materials becoming to expensive to build, we are dealing with a pure supply and demand issue here.
My advice if you are a home buyer move quickly, if you are a home seller, move quickly as well, because even if prices do come down at the end of the year mortgage rates will be higher and higher rates mean lower priced homes but higher mortgage payemts, but less buyers.
Lets see what 2022 brings us!
How to get a home in this very competitive Nutley Real Estate Market
Here are several tips from my experience as a Real Estate Broker in Nutley NJ, that may help you buy the home of your dreams today.
The very first and most important thing I would do is not only get pre-qualified but actually get a mortgage commitment in place before you even start to shop for a home, that will give you an edge over the competition.
The second thing I would do is find a real estate agent in Nutley that knows the town, knows the area and also knows the Building codes as to not run into any hurdles when you find that dream home in Nutley NJ.
The third thing is to pre-qual yourself for the market, look at homes that have been listed and sold for the past six months in Nutley, look at how many days they were on the market what it was listed for and what it actually sold for, gather your market intelligence so you know what to expect when you submit your offer, a knowledgable realtor in Nutley, NJ can help you with all that information.
Fourth, come up with a plan, you and your agent should have a strategy when going out house hunting, and that is exactly what we are doing is hunting for that home that fits your needs.
Last but not least, be prepared to concede some wants in your new Nutley home, if you can satisfy 90% of your current home needs that's not a bad deal, I always tell clients to buy with a need in mind, the wants can always come later, you can grow into your home, I always say you can always change the house but you can't changes the area.

Present or past, time in Jefferson Township is easy to enjoy. The northwest corner of Morris County includes Lake Hopatcong, as well as numerous smaller lakes and ponds throughout, many a product of the Rockaway River which rolls south out of Sussex County through the Berkshire Valley on the township's east side. Near the county's highest elevation, at the top of Bowling Green Mountain, Headley Overlook watches over the Rockaway River Wildlife Management. The overlook is a popular spot for the thousands of hikers and campers that know the pleasures of Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, which, encompassing 3,200 acres of near wilderness and recreational areas, is the county park system's most impressive outpost. Named for New Jersey's seventh governor (1815-1817), the hills of Mahlon Dickerson are yet another signature for Northwest New Jersey's role in nineteenth century America's industrial development. Dickerson, and his family before him, was, in fact, a powerful force in the Mt. Hope mining community a few miles to the southeast. But there is evidence of mining settlement throughout the park, many of which were no doubt inspired by the successes at Dickerson Mine.
You can get a feel for Jefferson and have a nice afternoon adventure on a loop more or less around Bowling Green Mt., starting in and up the Berkshire Valley to Petersburg, over the mountain through Milton and Jefferson (town), and back through the Weldon Brook Valley along Weldon Road towards Lake Hopatcong.
Berkshire Valley Road heads off State Highway 15 up the valley with the Rockaway on the right, the mountain to the left. Past Longwood Lake, then the hamlet of Woodstock, you'll see evidence of county park domain at the Berkshire Valley Golf Course on the right and a lake called Swannanoa on the left. Before the Revolutionary War, this area was called Petersburg Forge, referred to years later as Petersburg. In the early 1900s, Alfred T. Ringling, fourth oldest of the seven brothers who founded the Ringling Brothers Circus, built his estate here as well as several other buildings that still stand on both sides of the road.
By the time he completed his mansion in 1916, Ringling probably spent more than a million dollars establishing his 1000-acre property, including a 28-room manor, arched horseshoe gates, gate houses and outbuildings, all built with native stone. The mansion is said to be made with poured concrete.
Other buildings functioned as part of the circus business and included a theater, carriage house, houses for the big cats and elephants, and a unique arrangement where monkeys were housed in a portion of the stone silo-like water tower. To provide a reliable water supply for his animals, Ringling constructed two dams along a natural pond or two fed by a branch of the Rockaway River. The original natural ponds became today's Lake Swannanoa.
In about 1917, Alfred's son, Richard T. Ringling, formed his own circus on his father's estate, also using it as a winter quarters. To avoid confusion with his father's extravaganza, Richard reversed his name before attaching it to his own young circus, the R. T. Richards Circus. It lasted only a few years.

Saddle River is a borough located in Bergen County. It was incorporated from portions of Orvil Township in 1894 and is home to several historic sites including Ackerman House, Joe Jefferson Clubhouse, Stillwell-Preston House, and more. The zip code for Saddle River, NJ is 07458. The borough is named after the river that flows through it, which is also a tributary of the Passaic River. If you are thinking of exploring Saddle River, you will love the fact that it’s bordered by Allendale, Waldwick, Ramsey, Ho-Ho-Kus, Hillsdale, Woodcliff Lake, and Upper Saddle River. Let’s take a closer at Saddle River as a neighborhood:
For starters, Saddle River has its own shopping district and the sites on which the properties sit are generally bigger. In addition, the property prices in Saddle River are above the national average and that’s why the borough is a resident-magnet for wealthy individuals and families. The borough features both modern and charming historic properties, which are an eye-opener. As there are recreational amenities such as the Ramsey Golf & Country Club and The Gravity Vault-Indoor Rock Gym, you will hardly hear anyone using “boring” as an adjective to describe Saddle River, NJ.
The first humans to inhabit the area now known as Saddle River were the Lenni Lenape Native Americans. The Lenni Lenape settled here approximately 10,000 years ago and stayed until the mid 18th century. In 1756, the entire tribe permanently left Saddle River, leaving only one lone tribesman named Mashier to watch over their burial grounds. Although nothing built by the Lenni Lenape remains in Saddle River today, a massive boulder (known as Indian Rock) was a sacred Native American meeting place and still sits in the woods off Twin Brooks Road.
In 1675, Lenni Lenape tribal leaders sold a large amount of land on the Eastern side of the Saddle River (known as Werimus) to Albert Zabriskie. In 1708, Zabriskie sold this tract of land to Thomas Van Buskirk. The first house in Saddle River was built by the Van Buskirk family in 1709. The original Van Buskirk homestead still stands at 164 East Saddle River Road across from Borough Hall.
In 1709, the Lenni Lenape sold the land on the west side of the Saddle River to the English as part of the Ramapo Tract. Property on the west side of the Saddle River was acquired from this Tract throughout the 1700’s. The Ackerman Family was the most prolific buyer of these early Saddle River parcels and first settled on the West side of the Saddle River in 1745 when Johannes Ackerman acquired 245 acres.
Saddle River continued to grow and populate during the 18th century. Families such as the Van Buskirk’s, the Ackerman’s, the Achenbach’s, the Hopper’s, the Zabriskie’s, the Stilwell’s and the Baldwin’s farmed and developed the area. The first of many Saddle River mills was built in 1714 and the first school was constructed in 1720. Another early 18th century business was the blacksmith shop operated by the Ackerman family. Over the years, these 1st families built the quintessential “Old Dutch Homesteads” from actual sandstone that was found in town.
The Revolutionary War was a horrendous time for the residents of Saddle River. The townsfolk had spent the entire 18th century developing the area into a well established community and all growth essentially stopped during the war. Since the Jersey Dutch initially considered the revolution to be an English issue, it was particularly shocking when the fighting came to their backyards. From December 1776 until the end of the war, both American and British forces traveled through Saddle River and many times set up camp in the center of town. Residents were in constant fear of the British employed Hessian soldiers who would terrorize families by raiding the houses for food and then burning the fields before leaving. Although no major battles took place in Saddle River, there were small skirmishes to fend off raids and the Blue Mill on East Saddle River Road was destroyed. Even George Washington, the future father of our country, passed through Saddle River on multiple occasions and tradition has him staying overnight at the Ackerman Homestead on the East road.
When the Revolutionary War ended, Saddle River residents picked up right where they left off in terms of community and industry development. The Ackerman’s built a Foundry on what is now Waterford Gardens. Tice and Berdan both opened stores in town and the Bulls Head Tavern opened its doors to weary travelers in 1802. Old mills were re-opened and new ones such as Van Riper’s Saw Mill and Basket Factory were established. The post war growth continued for decades and culminated in the 1820s with the construction of the Zion Lutheran Church in 1821 and a new schoolhouse behind the church in 1825.
In 1981, Saddle River was thrown into the national spotlight when former President Richard Nixon moved into town. Additionally, the area known as Sammy’s Hill (the former Sunnyside Dairy Farm) was turned into “High Ridge” in the early 1980s. In 1984, the Saddle River Historical Committee changed its name to the Saddle River Landmarks Commission. To this day, ‘Landmarks’ members play an important role by documenting the Borough’s extensive history and working to preserve buildings of historical significance. In 1986, the 65 acre ‘Saddle River Historic District’ was awarded a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Lastly, the Borough built a modern Police Station and Firehouse in 1989.
