Somerville, Somerset County
Somerville is the county seat of Somerset County, a flat borough of about 2.4 square miles bordered by Bridgewater, Raritan, and Hillsborough, with the Raritan River to the south and Peters Brook running through it. U.S. 22 runs along its northern edge, Routes 202 and 206 along the west via the Somerville Circle, and Route 28 runs its length. Many neighborhoods and Main Street have Victorian architecture, and the borough had about 5,400 housing units in 2020.
Many Somerville neighborhoods, along with Main Street, feature Victorian architecture, and several former factories have been converted into offices or apartments. Older homes here can need electrical, roof, or foundation work that shows up in a buyer's inspection. We buy Somerville houses as-is, so you don't have to fix, stage, or empty them before closing.
Hurricane Floyd dropped a record 13.34 inches of rain on Somerville over three days in September 1999, causing significant flooding and damage. Peters Brook crosses the borough on its way to the Raritan. Homes with past water problems can be harder to sell to financed buyers. We make cash offers on them in their current condition.
Somerville station has frequent Raritan Valley Line service to Newark, with connections to New York. The borough has planned transit-village redevelopment around the station, including on the former borough landfill south of downtown, where a ShopRite opened in 2011. If you own a rental or an inherited home near downtown, we can buy it with tenants or belongings in place.

Questions from Somerville sellers
Yes. We buy older houses as they are, including those that need major updates.
Often, yes. Once the executor or administrator has authority to sell, we can buy the house for cash and work around the estate's timeline.
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.
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.
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Somerset County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
