Sell My House Fast in Somerset County, NJ
Somerset County has the newest housing of any county in New Jersey by median year built, 1982, and only 9.3% of its 133,639 housing units date from before 1940. Its 2.1% vacancy rate is also the lowest of any New Jersey county.
The median home value is $552,100. At that level, a house in good condition will usually do better on the open market, and I'll say so. I make cash offers on the rest: houses that need major work, rentals with tenants, condos and inherited properties.

Somerset County homes I make offers on
Older housing in North Plainfield
North Plainfield, which has its own page here, is far older than the county overall: its median year built is 1954, and 24.6% of its housing is in two- to four-unit buildings. I buy those houses and multi-families as-is.
Newer houses and condos in Franklin Township
Franklin Township's median home was built in 1986, and 17.6% of its housing is in buildings of 10 or more units. Even newer houses need updating eventually, and I buy condos there and across the county.
Rentals countywide
Renters occupy 25.7% of Somerset County homes. A landlord anywhere in the county can sell to me without emptying the property first, because I buy with the tenants still there.
Damaged or unlivable houses
A Somerset County house that's been through a fire or can't be lived in can still be sold to me in the shape it's in.
Inherited a house here?
Throughout Somerset County, the Somerset County Surrogate's Court probates wills and grants letters of administration for estates with no will.
