Split-levels and ranches dominate the housing stock
When peak fall hits, the trees change their leaves, coating the township with reds, oranges and yellows. These trees, dotted along most residential streets, providing shade to sidewalk walkers, lead residents to their homes. Besides nature beautifying the residential streets, well-maintained yards are a sense of pride for the residents of the Township of Washington. Most residents live in split-levels, colonials and ranch-style homes. "This town is great for young families and first-time homeowners," says Samantha Palazzolo-Perini, a licensed real estate salesperson at Compass. And, unlike in most recent years, while the township's market is still robust, there is not as "the simple difference from this year to last year is instead of seeing 25 offers, we may most likely see five on a new listing," Palazzolo-Perini says. Most houses that hit the market in the Township of Washington fall somewhere in the $700,000s. However, you can find three bedrooms for around $550,000 and five bedrooms for roughly $850,000.
