All You Need to Know About Scotch Plains
Online News
Scotch Plains, a primarily residential community, is located in north central New Jersey, 22 miles southeast of New York City. The township offers a happy combination of rural and suburban life.
Covering approx 9 square miles, Scotch Plains is distinguished by excellent cultural and community recreational programs. Here residents are high on education, with advanced student programs as well as foreign language study and technologically advanced classrooms.
The lovely single family homes come in a variety of styles including older, charming colonials, sprawling ranches, and also the palatial new construction with every imaginable amenity. Price ranges will suit any budget, ranging from a starter home at $300,000 to acre + lots well into the $1,000,000's.
The majority of wage earners pursue employment in Newark, New York City, and in corporate complexes in adjacent communities. Many recreational options are available with 7 local parks & several golf courses (both public and private), as well as a myriad of houses of worship, shopping, and civic associations.
Scotch Plains has been named one of the "10 best" most undervalued towns in the United States (as reported by Steve Kerch of CBS.MarketWatch.com in February, 2003). It is the ONLY municipality to earn this distinction in the greater New Jersey/New York metropolitan area.

Closing or Settlement >Real Estate Repairs
In most real estate transactions there are a few responsibilities that the sellers need to handle before the closing, such as repairs and termite extermination. The deadline for completing these obligations usually coincides with the actual closing. Many sellers barely make that deadline. Those who wait until the last minute to handle these matters may miss the deadline altogether or pay high rates in order to get a plumber, roofer or electrician on an emergency basis.
Your buyers will probably get a structural inspection done after the contract is ratified. Within 10 days of the contract's acceptance by all parties, the pest inspection should be scheduled. Even though sellers usually know well in advance what is needed, they sometimes put things off until the buyers have finalized the loan approval process. Since these repairs will have to be made anyway, it is a good idea to get them done promptly.
