New Jersey bills tax on assessed value, not sale price, so a listing's tax amount reflects the current owner's assessment and the bill on any specific home should be confirmed with the town. The payment calculator sets a tax figure by town, and our property tax guide covers appeals.

Since the NAR settlement took effect in August 2024, an agent needs a signed written buyer agency agreement with you before touring homes with you. The agreement sets how long it lasts, whether it is exclusive and how the agent is paid, and each brokerage writes its own, so ask to see the cancellation terms before you sign. The Wu Team's agreement can be cancelled with one day's notice, and a property-specific agreement is available if you only want to see one home; details are on our buyer agency agreement page.

Price your home from recent closed sales of comparable homes nearby, adjusted for size, condition and features, then check the result against competing active listings. A town median such as $1.66M in Princeton or $1.14M in West Windsor is only context, because your home's own comparables matter more. Start with our home value tool, then ask The Wu Team for a comparative market analysis.

Your net proceeds are the sale price minus your mortgage payoff, agent commission, attorney fees, the New Jersey realty transfer fee, municipal certificates and tax and HOA prorations. The transfer fee is graduated, and since July 10, 2025 sales over $1,000,000 also owe a seller-paid graduated fee on the entire price. Enter your own numbers in the net proceeds calculator or read the NJ seller closing costs guide.
