I'm guessing you're in North Jersey. Born and raised there - moved to South Jersey 7 years ago due to being able to afford a house down here. My wife teaches and she is in a district that is constantly looking for educators, and it's a nice place to work.

I'm a realtor that primarily serves Gloucester, Camden, Salem, Atlantic and Cumberland Counties. I have worked with clients recently who were in the same price point and were able to find homes that suited their needs. Feel free to PM me - I work with a bunch of different lenders and have a lot of knowledge of available grants.

I also have an app that links you directly to the MLS versus zillow and such which aren't always 100% accurate as they are third party. Would even be able to give you some info on school districts.
