You don't need to go that far to get away from the Nashua riffraff I bought property in Warner a few years ago -- 15 minutes from Lake Sunapee -- It's a busy area if you want it to be, not so busy too. I don't have a house there, just property. It's a 5 hour drive from here. didn't mean he had to go as far north as I'm going but everything I've found in my research says stay away from Nashua and the Massachusetts border towns Bartlett is exactly 7 hours from Flemington door to door Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going further north, sandwich, moultonborough, bartlett, Jackson or Chatham are the main towns im looking at. I know, but we have family around Boston and want to be close enough to them without being in Mass, and want civilization. Don't want to be in Nashu itself, but have seen Wyndam and Hollis neighborhoods that we like. It is what it is. No "perfect" place but IMO certainly better than what NJ has in store for the next 4-8-12 years. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I was forced to live in PA again if go back to western pa. I lived outside blairsville pa when I went to auto body school. Near Latrobe. Private school for the kid would be a must out there though and it' a bit of a ride out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same school I went to. School looks the same. People not so much. My family was the only family near me speaking English when we were walking out of the school. The others weren't speaking Spanish. It helped to reaffirm why I collect Finnish Arms.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Total vs population of area is important. Look into some of the cases a little more and number of suspected serial killers. Seems disproportionately high to me.

ChrisJM981 924 Posted January 28, 2018 Sections of Allentown might be an option. Parkland is a top school district in PA. An hour and 5 min no traffic to work for me. That's a lot of miles though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mostly because there’s no work. Tech industries and Amazon is forcing closings. Maine and other mostly blue collar states suffer from the same thing.

NJ had the highest foreclosure rate In 2017. PA not even top 10. Maryland number 2 but N.J. is nearly 2x the rate. For liberal happiness CT was number 7. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct. And NJ has a whole lot of that foreclosed inventory that hasn't been put back into the supply yet. Anyone that thinks NJ doesn't have a not of foreclosures check out any of the weekly County sheriff foreclosure sale lists.

Rob0115 1,105 Posted January 28, 2018 Here’s my other opinion on N.J. real estate, it’s a professional one, but take it for what you’re paying for it. NJ will lead the high tax state in negative HPA (home price appreciation); prices will go down. If you’re a short term owner you may see it a bit, if you’re a long hauler than who cares. State and local tax deductions are more valuable in NJ, on a complete state basis, then any of the other competitors. Our incomes tax is second only to CA, and our property tax is second to none. If Sweeney should allow a vote on the top tax rate, ill named millionaire’s tax, we will pass California in income tax. Recently Moody’s and Bloomberg have published articles that support my view Between Murphy polling well and Trump’s tax strategy, I sold my house a bit earlier than expected. And I did that because my time horizon would’ve been March. I didn’t want to deal with short term volatility in home prices and I wanted to be homesteader in FL for 2018 for income tax purposes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christie had planned to start taxing PA residents who work in NJ--I thought it was part of the original gas tax package. At any rate, Christie found an extra $200 Million in his couch or something and changed his mind, the PA resident tax did not go through. I bet Murphy would love to bring that back!

Christie taxing PA residents Christie will NOT tax PA residents The only tax that went up was gas and yes, they reduced the sales and estate tax. The PA tax was a renewal of a tax treatment we had in place that you’d pay in your state of domicile not earning. It continued the practice in place so there was no change to the revenue stream or at least what generates it. If he did not renew this PA residents working in N.J. would pay N.J. income taxes, much higher, rather than PA—which probably should’ve happened. It would be similar to the way NY treats N.J. residents, who are the single biggest revenue source in NYS roughly 15% of the total. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leahcim 673 Posted January 29, 2018 If you look at the links, they say Christie was going to not renew the agreement. Said he had no choice due to budget. Then he magically came up with an extra $200 million and changed that provision. Pretty sure it was part of the same gas tax increase because my co workers from PA were complaining about both at the same time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SW9racer 262 Posted January 30, 2018 I sold my nj house in the 2016 season in south somerset county, sales info from 2017 showed I may have sold for ~25k less if I waited. In the meantime, prices in my FL development have increased ~50k new construction .
