New Brunswick, Middlesex County
What we see in New Brunswick
New Brunswick is a city of about 55,000 people on the south bank of the Raritan River, across from Highland Park, Piscataway, and Edison, with North Brunswick, East Brunswick, and Franklin Township on its other sides. It is the county seat, home to Rutgers University's main campus and Johnson & Johnson's world headquarters, and is known as the "Healthcare City" for its hospitals. NJ Transit and Amtrak stop at New Brunswick station on the Northeast Corridor. The city has about 17,500 homes in under six square miles.
Selling a house in New Brunswick: what's different here
College-town rentals
Rutgers' College Avenue, Douglass, and Cook campuses are all in the city, and New Brunswick's 2020 rental vacancy rate was about 8.5 percent, far above its homeowner rate. Owners selling a house with tenants, lease turnover, or wear from years of renting can find retail buyers hesitant. We buy rental properties as-is, with tenants in place.
Redevelopment pressure
Since 1975 the New Brunswick Development Corporation, formed with the state, Rutgers, Johnson & Johnson, and the city, has led demolition and new construction downtown. Neighborhoods such as the Fifth Ward, Feaster Park, Lincoln Park, Raritan Gardens, and Edgebrook still hold older houses. If yours needs work, we can make a cash offer as-is.
Livingston Avenue district
The Livingston Avenue Historic District, between Hale and Morris streets, was added to the National Register in 1996. Older homes in the city's historic corridors can need extensive electrical, plumbing, and structural work before a lender will finance them. We buy older and historic New Brunswick homes without asking you to restore anything first.

Questions from New Brunswick sellers
New Brunswick FAQ
Can I sell my New Brunswick rental near Rutgers with student tenants still in it?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied houses and honor existing leases, so you do not have to wait for the semester to end or empty the house.
My New Brunswick house has code violations. Will you still buy it?
Yes. We buy houses with open violations or needed repairs and take on that work after closing.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a New Brunswick house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Middlesex County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
