We Buy Houses in Middlesex County, NJ

Middlesex County is the southern edge of what we cover in New Jersey, and it has one of the busiest sheriff sale calendars in the state. The old frame two and three families of Perth Amboy, Carteret, and New Brunswick along the Raritan and the Arthur Kill, built for the refinery and factory workers and owned now by Dominican, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Indian, and Portuguese families. The postwar capes and ranches of Woodbridge, Sayreville, Edison, Piscataway, and Old Bridge, bought once in 1960 and inherited now. The waterfront in Perth Amboy, Sayreville, and South Amboy, which Sandy flooded and the redrawn maps put in the hazard zone.

Middlesex County was hit hard by the foreclosure wave of 2008 and again by the pandemic, and New Jersey’s court process means an owner who fell behind three years ago is only now getting a sale date. A financed buyer cannot close before that date. We can. We have been buying in Middlesex County since 2000, we buy with cash, we can close within two weeks of a sheriff sale date, and the flood zone, the basement unit, and the tenant who stopped paying are line items in our offer instead of reasons the deal dies.

What we see most in Middlesex County

Sheriff sale dates. In New Jersey you can sell right up until the sale and adjournments are often available. We have closed within two weeks of a date. Our guide to the New Jersey sheriff sale timeline walks through every stage, and selling in pre-foreclosure covers the mechanics.

Flood history. Perth Amboy, Sayreville, and the Raritan waterfront took water in Sandy and Ida. We price the flood risk honestly and carry the insurance ourselves after closing. See selling a house with water damage.

Estates. The postwar suburbs were bought once and kept for sixty years. We buy inherited houses as they sit and handle the nonresident withholding at closing.
