Short Hills, Millburn, Livingston and the Summit New Jersey Area   OVERVIEW
Envision a lively, prosperous community and you've pictured Livingston.
The public schools are among the nation's best, and the quality of the private Newark Academy is indisputable. One great cultural highlight, The George Street Playhouse is one of New Jersey’s most professional theatres offering both new and well-known plays. There are enough recreational facilities in town to keep the whole family busy. We count two municipal pools, five parks and playgrounds, a jogging path, a pond for ice-skating, 16 public tennis courts, a YMCA and an 18-hole golf course. The cultural life is replete with art, theater and music. The ethnic mix in Livingston is sufficient to support 16 houses of worship, including four synagogues. It isn't difficult to understand why Livingston residents express such tremendous pride in their town.

Quality of life is one of Livingston's strong points. So is convenience. Parts of the town are just 20 minutes from the airport and 50 to midtown Manhattan. Shopping is easy, with the enormous Livingston Mall within the town's borders and another mall nearby in Short Hills. Fortunately, chain stores have not erased Livingston's downtown, where we recommend stopping for lunch at one of Livingston's first-rate delis. Return to Top

First Time Buyers >The Seller May Pay
The costs of buying a home may be daunting. For example, you may have finally saved enough for a down payment on your first home, with a little left over to buy the furniture you will need. Then you hear about having to pay closing costs you weren't anticipating, and this may seem like a real setback.
One way to cover such a shortage is to make the sellers an offer that calls for them to credit you for some of the closing costs. As a rule, the sellers may pay a maximum of 3 percent of the sales price if the buyer is putting five percent down. If the buyer is making a down payment of 10 percent or more, the seller can contribute up to 6 percent of the sales price to cover the buyer's closing costs. Some items, such as prepaid taxes and the first month's mortgage payment, must be paid by the buyers. Sellers may also contribute to paying the appraisal, points, title insurance, settlement attorney fees, state or local transfer taxes and similar items.
Keep in mind that if the credit is included in the price of the house, the appraiser will have to justify the amount, based on sales prices of similar homes in the neighborhood.
