Millburn’s Taylor Park is Beautiful All Year Long
November 29th, 2007 Categories: Millburn & Short Hills Living
While working out with Chris Cillo at Professional Health & Fitness in Short Hills this morning, I noticed the pictures on the computer in the reception area.
It turns out that the owner, Steve Puryear, is an amazing photographer. Just look at this beautiful picture of one of the bridges in Taylor Park.
The park is in the center of downtown Millburn, New Jersey. Taylor Park plays host to a comprehensive playground, township rec baseball games, an amazing July 4th celebration, summer concerts, fishing contests and daily strolls for people of all ages.
Steve promises to provide additional pix for all to enjoy in the months to come.

New Jersey Buyer’s Mansion Tax
November 21st, 2007 Categories: Buying a Home in NJ, NJ First Time Home Buyers, NJ Real Estate Laws
Congratulations!!! 
You just placed a bid on a home in NJ over $1,000,000, and the seller agreed to your price!!!
Did you know that you will owe the State of New Jersey 1% of the total purchase price for any property purchased with a sales price of $1,000,000 or higher?
Welcome to the NJ Buyer’s Mansion Tax. The fee is paid to the County Clerk where the property is located. Both residential and commercial properties are impacted by this fee. (There are limited exclusions that you should check with your NJ Real Estate Lawyer about.)
The fee is collected at closing as a part of the Buyer’s closing costs and will be paid from the Buyer’s attorney trust account. The County Clerk will not accept a personal check from a Buyer for any amount in excess of $10,000. Your lawyer should properly reflect the Mansion Tax on the HUD.
