SOLD OVER ASK: Two homes just closed above list price 🔑

Last week was a busy one for Carton Reynolds Group. A storybook 1910 Victorian on Thompson St and a 1925 in-town Colonial on Childsworth Ave both sold over asking, one by $200K, in 20 days or less. A 55+ end unit in Hillsborough is now under contract, and two fresh listings just hit the market in New Providence and Bernards Twp.

Here’s what these results have in common: the right price, strong prep, and a strategy built for this exact market. Homes that are positioned well are still drawing real competition, even at the higher end.

Thinking about selling in Bernardsville, Bernards Township, New Providence, or anywhere in Somerset County? This is the team that gets it done.

SOLD: 3.75 acres of Lake Hopatcong lakefront 🔑

Most of our listings sell in days. A property like this sells when the right buyer finds it.

Three waterfront lots in Mount Arlington. A 4,000+ sq ft main house, a guest cottage, and enough shoreline to launch a boat, cast a line, or just watch the sun drop behind the hills. Land like this on New Jersey’s largest lake almost never changes hands and when it does, it isn’t for everyone. It’s for exactly one person. They found it, and closed all cash.

Selling a property that doesn’t fit the usual mold takes a different approach: the right story, the right exposure, and the discipline to wait. That’s the work we love.

Congrats to our sellers 🥂

$151K over asking in one town. Just 4 sales in the other. Same month, same market 🔑

May looked different depending on where you were looking. In Basking Ridge, homes are still moving when they’re priced right, with strong competition and 49 more homes going under contract by month’s end. Bernardsville stayed tighter and more selective, with just 4 sales, strong sale-to-list numbers, and active listings averaging about $2.5M.
That’s why hyper-local pricing matters so much right now. What your home could command today may not look the same by fall, especially as inventory shifts.

If you’re curious where your home stands, DM us or call and we’ll run the numbers for you.

“Nobody can be THAT good.”

That was their exact thought after stumbling across Melissa’s reviews online. The ratings were glowing. Suspiciously glowing. The kind that make you wonder if they’re even real.

But it had started with a chance meeting at an open house and something about her stuck. Her energy. Her professionalism. The way it didn’t feel performed.
So they reached out anyway.

That was four moves ago.

Since then, Melissa and her team have walked them through buying and selling across Raritan, Bridgewater, and Basking Ridge. Different seasons of life. Different needs. The same team, every time.

“We couldn’t feel luckier for having met Melissa. We can’t thank her and her team enough for their wonderful work.”
If you’ve been on the fence, this is your sign. 🔑
