My wife and I moved from Hudson, to Ocean, and now Camden County over the past 12 years due to COL. We bought a 3BR (1100 sqft) house that was fully remodeled on a small lot in a nice neighborhood for $155k 3 years ago. Similar homes are going in the mid-high 200’s now, but there’s no doubt that will come back down.

Wow, that sounds fantastic! Any particular towns in Camden County I should look at?

We live in Runnemede, but some of the surrounding areas should be in your price range once things get back to normal. Somerdale, Glendora, Barrington. If you’re in north Jersey, this may sound ridiculous, but we passed on a house in Somerdale because the taxes were $7k lol. I think our taxes were like $4200 when we bought the house, prob in the $5000’s now

I used to live in north Jersey but now live in central Jersey (yes, it exists!) and I agree those taxes sound insane. Thanks for the info, I’ll add those towns to my list.

Yeah it would be like $12k+ for a similar home in Hudson County….my in-laws live there and I think they’re up to almost $15k. I can’t imagine paying over $1,000/mo just for taxes
