Deal Check: Strong
Why- Approx. judgment/upset amount owed to the lender: $225,728 (source: official Union County sheriff list, as of Nov 2, 2026).
- Town's net assessed value (MOD-IV tax list): $473,700 (source: NJ MOD-IV tax list via NJ Office of GIS parcel composite (NJOGIS / NJ Division of Taxation), retrieved Nov 2, 2026).
- $225,728 ÷ $473,700 = 48%. Our rule: 50% or less = Strong, up to 80% = Fair, above = Pass.
- NJ assessed values are not market values; each town's assessment ratio differs, so treat this as a rough guide. The lender can bid up to what it is owed, so the final price may differ.
- Yearly property tax on record: $9,114 (source: NJ MOD-IV tax list via NJ Office of GIS parcel composite (NJOGIS / NJ Division of Taxation), retrieved Nov 2, 2026).
- Back taxes are not published in our sources; check the county treasurer/tax collector.
- Postponed 2 time(s) per the official status history.
- Occupancy: not stated by the official source.
Deal Check is a simple math check of published numbers, not an appraisal and not financial advice. It does not know the condition, liens, title problems, or back taxes. Inspect from the street, run a title/lien search, and verify everything with the county before you bid.
What to check before bidding
- The amount owed to the lender ($225,728) is 48% of the town's assessed value ($473,700). In New Jersey this is the lender's figure, not the final price, and assessed value is not market value.
- Last year's tax bill on record was $9,114. Unpaid back taxes are not on the sheriff's list, so check with the county treasurer or town tax collector.
- Already postponed 2 time(s). Check the official listing the day before the sale.
- Drive by and look from the street: the official record doesn't say whether anyone lives there.
- Run a title and lien search: other liens may survive the sale.
