Essex County, New Jersey
What we see in Essex County
Essex runs from Newark and Irvington through Montclair and Maplewood out to the Caldwells and Livingston. Multi-family properties are common here, and a tenant already in place is not a problem for us — we buy occupied buildings and do not require a seller to deliver them vacant.
Selling a house in Essex County: what's different here
Local rent control
Newark and several other Essex municipalities have their own rent control ordinances, with landlord registration requirements and limits on increases. A building that has kept the same tenants under rent control for years usually carries rents well below market, and a buyer has to underwrite those leases as they are.
Early-1900s two- and three-families
Much of Newark, East Orange, Irvington, Orange, and Bloomfield is two- and three-family housing built in the early twentieth century. Original wiring, old steam or gravity heat, and aging roofs are typical, and a buyer using FHA or conventional financing may not get through the appraisal and inspection without repairs.
Historic districts in the suburbs
Montclair and Glen Ridge have designated historic districts where exterior changes need approval, and large Victorian and early-1900s homes are common across Montclair, South Orange, and Maplewood. Knob-and-tube wiring, old oil tanks, and deferred exterior work are the items a retail buyer's inspector flags most in these houses.
