Long Hill Township is located at the very southern tip of Morris County, NJ and is surrounded by Union and Somerset counties. Quite often people have not heard of Long Hill Township but they have heard of one or more of the communities which make up Long Hill Township which are Gillette, Stirling, Millington and the Hamlet of Meyersville.
Long Hill Township is a rural, low density community with a population of around 8,000. We have a blue ribbon school system and low crime.
There is a train station located in Gillette, Stirling and Millington (mid-town direct) making this township favorable for commuters in to NYC!
So all you Realtors out there that are searching for homes for your customers that need to be close to a NYC train line….add Long Hill Township to your search…your customers won’t be disappointed!

Market update - Pricing homes to sell
Each and every home that is put on the market will sell if it's priced right! Regardless of the location or the condition of the home, again, every home will sell. It is crucial to get this fact across to our sellers.
We need to make sure that we are thorough in our research of the recent comparable sales and then suggest a price to the seller which makes the home more attractive than its competition.
Let’s get aggressive with broker open houses, public open houses, “just listed” mailers and plenty of internet marketing.
Many Realtors are being faced with sellers that "have to walk away with a certain amount of money out of the sale." We are seeing sellers write a check at the settlement table if they really want to sell. We are also seeing sellers not listen to the advice of their Realtors and they are remaining steadfast on their “have to walk away with” price. These are the homes that are continually expiring.
In our area we are seeing multiple offers on listings if the home is priced correctly, and we are also seeing homes expire which are not priced correctly! Which listings would you rather have?

Live Earth Concert
I’d like to move my attention from Real Estate to life and the planet that we ALL live on.
On 7/7/07 Al Gore, Kevin Wall, and a whole slue of entertainers on every continent brought us the Live Earth concert. Finally….. a big enough voice for us to stop and listen to the climate crisis. Maybe now we can focus on a common good for all people on this earth. No matter what age, race, color or political affiliation. This is about ALL of us!!!!
So let’s all work together and make an effort to change our ways. I’m talking small changes that will make a major difference! Listed below are just a few things that each of us can do to combat global warming.
Refill water bottles
Change all your light bulbs to CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) bulbs
Unplug your chargers when not in use
Shut down computers instead of putting to sleep
Use less paper products
Turn your air conditioner up 1 degree
Turn your heat down 1 degree
Buy hybrid vehicles
Check your tire pressure
Plant trees
Car pool
Take shorter showers
Turn water off while brushing your teeth or brush your teeth in the shower
After watching Live Earth do you think millions of people will change the bulbs in their homes to CFLs? Will they shut off the lights and appliances when they're not using them? I believe they will. I know I will!

Long Hill Township, Berkeley Heights, New Providence & Summit, New Jersey Real Estate update
MID-TOWN DIRECT - NEW JERSEY REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE
It is time to be positive about OUR Real Estate market.
We ALL need to make an effort to report accurate data in regards to our local real estate markets. We can no longer rely on the main stream media to accurately depict our local market trends....how could you possibly compare real estate just outside of Detroit to real estate along the "Mid-town direct" train line in to New York City? Apples to apples.....I think not!
I am fortunate to report that our market area (along the "Mid-town direct" train line in New Jersey) is doing great. Even though sellers "should" no longer gamble with their original list price, we are finding that if a home is priced "correctly" from the start, we can see multiple offers. What a concept.....pricing a home to sell!!! Also, when you really think about it, an average of 2 months on the market is really quite "normal".
Listed below is data on current active listings, area price ranges and average days on market.
As always, I can reached via e-mail or my cell at (908) 432-5721 or visit www.sommerssellsrealestate.com for more up to date information on Long Hill Township (and surrounding areas) real estate.
