About the Washington Township, New Jersey Area 
Located in the Highlands area of New Jersey, Washington Township has a population of close to 9,000 people. Comprised of several areas including Long Valley, Schooley’s Mountain, and Stephensburg, Washington Township is geographically the largest municipality in Morris County. Graced with beautiful rolling hills and farmland, Washington Township has excelled in preserving farmlands in the midst of development over the years.
The majority of residents work outside of town or in New York. Single family homes predominate with many garden style condominiums springing up.
The median income in Washington Township is $88,000. The median home price is currently $469,000.
History
Originally occupied by the Lenape Indians, Washington Township was settled in the 1700’s by German Protestant immigrants. The nearby area of Schooley’s Mountain, a part of the Township, was once popular as a spa for vacationers, providing mineral springs for rejuvenation and rest.
Recreation & Entertainment
Like much of the region, Washington Township is a popular location for visitors interested in hiking, golfing, farm tours and the seasonal activities of July 4th, pumpkin picking, and Christmas Tree cutting.

Making An Offer >Bargaining
You found a house that seems perfect and you really love it. The chemistry is there, and the price is right. If you are like many buyers, you start off by asking the real estate agent if the sellers will take less than they are asking.
A real estate agent doesn't know what the sellers' bottom price is. The sellers often don't know themselves until they get an offer. In many cases, the price is negotiable, but the only way to test it is to make the sellers a written offer to accept or counter.
Attractive, well-priced homes usually sell quickly in any market. If you get involved in offers and counter offers, another buyer could come in with a better offer while you are negotiating back and forth. If you cannot qualify for financing at the asking price and you are willing to risk losing the house, you can make a lower offer. But if it will break your heart to lose a home you really love and you can afford it, it may be better to avoid bargaining and simply pay the asking price.
