[quote="Looking to leave"]Well I'm far from a real estate guru like the others here, but I am curious how the seller can price his/her house for $475 and it is only a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath with no basement, while the home directly across the street is a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath with a basement, sold for $480 when the housing market was higher at the time of sale. I'm not looking for an argument, but I'd like to understand. :?:[/quote]

There was not a substantially higher market in 2010 then there is today. As I said it is a comp. It is not identical. There are no identical homes especially in a development as old as that. <br /> <br />As the other posters said OTR is far from a major highway. In fact I have noticed a decrease in traffic there and more traffic on Main St. and Cranbury Neck Rd. since the change to 35mph. However, that could be my perception as I'll now go Main to 130 instead of OTR to one mile and I'll go Cranbury Neck to the train as opposed to OTR to Princeton-Hightstown Rd. <br /> <br />All home inspectors should do Radon. That is the only "fact" I agree with and that is just a general comment nothing to do with this house or neighborhood. I've lived in developments where certain sections had Radon and my home was fine.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>dis-"honest"</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu, Jun 9 2011, 11:08 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury home $475,000 (Ryan Rd.)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Honest Neighbor wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">I usually don't post here, but it is a shame that my own neighbors are more than willing to lie to a potential future neighbor!! <br /> <br />#1.

Its called sour grapes. <br /> <br />This anonymous poster accusing everyone else of ulterior motives may have ulterior motives of their own. They may be trying to sell their house and therefore discouraging buyers from choosing other neighborhoods. They may be interested in moving to a quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood to get away from the OTR road widening and therefore discouraging other buyers on a property of interest. Or they may just be angry about their own poor investment choice and hell bent on blaming everyone but themselves. Whatever the reason, take their comments with a grain of salt.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu, Jun 9 2011, 10:55 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury home $475,000 (Ryan Rd.)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Honest Neighbor wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">I usually don't post here, but it is a shame that my own neighbors are more than willing to lie to a potential future neighbor!! <br /> <br />#1.
