Author: Closed Sales in March
There are now two new happy homeowners in March in Bedminster. The following properties have closed this month:
27 BENTLEY CT $289,999 $278,000
77 AUTUMN RIDGE RD $769,900 $745,000
26 new listings came on the market this month, and 9 listings have gone under contract. To see these new listings or to start your search, click on Bedminster Homes For Sale.
Please note: 2 additional properties sold in February but were not reported online until March. Those properties are:
147 CORTLAND LN $99,999 $99,999
15 WENTWORTH RD $259,999 $252,500
So that brings the total sold homes in Bedminster in February to 5.
Absorption Rate
I explained what the absorption rate is in a previous posting, but basically it is a way to help us determine how much market activity there is at a given time in the market. A market absorption rate of less than 5 months is considered a Seller’s Market, between 5 – 6 months is a Normal or Balanced Market, and inventory levels greater than 6 months indicates a Buyer’s Market.
There are currently a total of 95 listings on the market in Bedminster. 17 properties went under contract in the last 30 days, so that gives us a current market absorption rate of 5.6 months in Bedminster. Which indicates that currently the market in Bedminster is a balanced market.
If you are considering a move into or out of Bedminster, it pays to plan ahead. Start your search or understand the value of your home at Bedminster-Real-Estate.com

Owning a Home is a Smart Decision
A recent survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors showed that a substantial majority of both homeowners and current renters believe that owning a home is a smart decision over the long term.
The American Attitudes About Homeownership survey of 3,793 adults found that even in today’s challenging economy, 95 percent of owners and 72 percent of renters believe that over a period of several years, it makes more sense to own a home.
Other findings of the American Attitudes About Homeownership survey include:
- A large majority of homeowners are happy with their decision to own a home. In fact, 93 percent of the owners surveyed would buy again.
- Homeowners are more satisfied with both the overall quality of their family life and with their community life than renters are.
- Of the renters surveyed, 63 percent said that it was at least somewhat likely that they would purchase a home at some point in the future, with young adults 18 to 29 years old having the strongest aspirations for homeownership.
If you think it might be time to start thinking about owning a home, take a look at what’s currently available in Bedminster. You can also see what has been selling in Bedminster to get a sense of how much you might need to spend to get the home you want.

New listing in Bernardsville
This three to five bedroom cape has had so many updates over the last six years – it’s perfect! It offers three bedrooms upstairs with a full bath. There are two rooms downstairs that are currently used as a family room and a play room; they can be bedrooms or not – depending upon your needs. The front room – currently a dining room – features a wood burning fire place and could easily be a formal living room. A large fenced yard is hard to find in this part of town. Contact me for all the details.
It is a great time to buy! If you are looking at your first home purchase or to move up from a condo, this might be the perfect house. Not interested in Bernardsville? That’s okay, there are lots of homes for sale in Bedminster too!
New Listing – Liberty Corner
It might have been a snow day for some, but I was busy listing another home! This property is a vintage colonial in the heart of Liberty Corner. It features chestnut molding and pine floors - a walk up attic with plenty of space for storage. It has been wonderfully maintained and features many current amenities, including a new roof (2004), a gas fired cast iron stove in the family room addition and finished 12×20 shed in the back yard. The yard is just under an acre and backs to Liberty Corner’s English Farm. I will be hosting an open house this weekend, Sunday, February 14th from 12:00-4:00, stop by for a visit, view this wonderful home and we can discuss what’s happening in the local market.
