Selling a house in Watchung: what's specific to the borough

Watchung is hillside, septic and turning over.

Ranches and colonials from the 50s through 80s. The streets off Mountain Boulevard, Johnston Drive and Valley Road were built on sloped wooded lots and held for decades.

Septic on many lots. We buy with unknown or failed systems and require no testing.

Hillside problems. Retaining walls, drainage, foundation movement. We price them once.

The borough inspects before sale. Watchung 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 Somerset County.
