***Please note that we pull these Millburn and Short Hills home sale prices and stats from the GSMLS statistics, so "Original Listing Price" and "Days On Market" only include its current listing, not the full history of a listing. For example,if the listing agent took it off the market to change the price and put it back on as a new listing,or a listiing had previously expired and was relisted, the previous listing is not included in gsmls' Original List Price or Days On Market calculations. If you'd like to know the complete history of a specific listing, we'll be happy to get you that information. Furthermore, when we pull comps for you prior to any home purchase, we will provide a more in depth analysis for you.

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.
