Selling a house in Pompton Lakes: what's specific to the borough
Two issues define Pompton Lakes sales: water and the plume. Both make listing hard and neither stops our offer.
Three rivers flood. The Ramapo, Pequannock and Wanaque meet here, and the Riverdale Road, Lakeside Avenue and lower Wanaque Avenue neighborhoods have flooded repeatedly. Some blocks have Blue Acres buyout history with empty lots between houses. Flood insurance, elevation certificates and disclosure make retail sales slow. We buy flood-zone and flood-damaged houses as-is.
The DuPont plume area. Hundreds of homes in the borough's southeast sit over a groundwater contamination plume from the former DuPont works, with vapor-intrusion mitigation systems installed in many. Disclosures, testing and buyer anxiety complicate a listing. We buy plume-area houses with or without mitigation installed.
Capes and bungalows from the 20s to 50s. Much of the borough's stock is small, older and on its original systems. Estate sales are common and the houses come to us full.
The borough inspects before sale. Pompton Lakes requires a certificate. We schedule it, pay for it and fix anything after closing.
Local notes from houses we’ve bought and walked; confirm anything specific to your property with the township and your attorney. More on selling in Passaic County.
