Maplewood Luxury Homes Selling For More than Asking

Mariah and Lawson Harris, New Maplewoodians in Maplewood's Washington Park section.

The Maplewood luxury home market, defined as homes listed for over $750,000, is outperforming the total marketplace. In fact, of the 16 homes currently on the market, six have accepted offers on them and are in attorney review and another 14 homes are Under Contract (there are twice as many homes under contract and with accepted offers versus the net inventory left to sell).

Furthermore, there have been a dozen closings since January 1st, 2016 and of these closings, here are the incredible stats:

1. Average Sale Price is up to $899k
2. Average Sale Price to Asking Price Ratio has buyers paying 102.6% of asking.
3. Of the dozen homes sold, 7 sold for over asking, 3 sold for asking and only 2 sold under asking.
4. Sales of Closed Homes occurred in just under 38 days.

All in all, its a great time to be a Luxury Home Seller in Maplewood.

South Orange, NJ (April 14, 2016) --- The South Orange Performing Arts Center presents the best and brightest in its rotating series of visual art exhibitions in the Herb & Milly Iris Gallery at SOPAC. On view from May 9 – August 15, 2016, INSPIRED MINDS: YOUNG ARTIST EXHIBITION features drawings, paintings, and photography by gifted young artists from Essex County. Selected works were juried by a panel of distinguished artists, photographers and curators. The exhibition sale proceeds support the Herb & Milly Iris Gallery and SOPAC.
INSPIRED MINDS is a celebration of young artists. Every high school in Essex County was invited to participate with the intention of fostering young artists and encouraging their creative work. The program provides an opportunity for the students to enjoy a comprehensive professional artist exhibition experience, from submission and selection through presenting in a professional gallery with the prospect of selling their art to the public. Framing is generously donated by Chris Bobbins, owner of the South Orange Frame Shop and installation is coordinated by SOPAC’s curator Micha Hamilton.

An opening reception with light fare and beverages will be held on May 11, 6-7:30 p.m. where family, friends and teachers can enjoy the exhibition and celebrate these talented students. The reception is also open to the public. “Providing opportunities for emerging artists was the passion of the Gallery’s namesake, Milly Iris. Coupling those opportunities with education is at the core of SOPAC’s mission,” noted Linda Beard, Director of Community Engagement. “It is vitally important that we recognize arts education as valuable and that we nourish young artists and their achievements. We are delighted to offer our participating artists the chance to present their work in a professional exhibition.”
