Fitness 


Here's some great information on your favorite sports. Let's begin with golf: many residents of the Short Hills/Summit area actually moved here because they can get a more-than-decent game whenever they feel like it! 

Short Hills/Summit Golf 

Imagine finding yourself in the company of the greats of professional golf. It could happen when you T-off at one of the beautiful golf courses in the Short Hills or Summit area. But if the game is what matters to you, you’ll enjoy getting the speed of the greens while you chat with other golfers who share your enthusiasm for the game. Keeping company with scratch golfers, whether you are one or not, will naturally ensure that your game continues to improve. 

If you doubt that New Jersey has what it takes to please you as a golfer, consider these facts: 

• David Chmiel, editor in chief of Senior Golfer magazine and author of several books on golfing lives in nearby Maplewood
• The annual PGA Championships were held in New Jersey in 2004
• Since golf is about being the best you can be, you’ll find lots of other remarkable players among the community in this part of New Jersey 

When you live in the Short Hills/Summit area you won’t need to book yourself on a golfing vacation. You can enjoy what you love most any day of the week year-round! It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a quick round of golf, or a full eighteen holes, there are plenty of superb golf courses here.  

In fact there is an eyebrow-raising number of award-winning professional golf courses to choose from. You’d be hard put not to find at least one golf course that you absolutely love within 15 miles of Short Hills or Summit. 

This fact is undoubtedly a result of the laws of supply and demand. Successful people represent the greater part of the Short Hills/Summit area community, and it’s no secret that high achievers overwhelmingly choose golf as a medium for letting off steam and getting some exercise. What other sport allows you to relax while you’re developing your skills? Remember that golf is great for all the family. If you’d like to encourage your child as a golfer, there are even a number of junior links in New Jersey. 

Just one more reason to contact me, Robin Benjamin, and get the ball rolling so you can locate that perfect piece of property that’s just waiting for you in New Jersey! 

With years of experience, I know just what it takes to present you with a golf home that will fulfill all of your needs. Not too close to the fairway naturally, but close enough that you can indulge your favorite sport whenever the mood takes you. Not too close to amenities, but then again not so far out that you’re out of touch. 

Canoe Brook at Summit is a wildly popular golf club. 

The 87th PGA championships were held at Baltusrol Golf Course in 2004!

Short Hills/Summit Tennis 

Tennis is a game that is as popular now as it was several centuries ago. In all that time the rules of the game haven't changed a bit. No wonder it's such a great community game: You're sure of finding others who share your level of knowledge and enthusiasm for the game, and it's suitable for people of varying physical condition and age. 

Not only are there plenty of opportunities to play a game of tennis in the Short Hills/Summit area, it's easy to arrange for lessons for the whole family. 

Tennis is big in this part of New Jersey. You will find yourself in the company of leaders in the sport.  

Take the Orange Lawn Tennis club, which was founded in 1880. The facilities are unmatched, and you will find yourself in the best of company. 

Or Center Court may be more your style.
 

Tennis is my passion! You've come to right place to have all your questions answered. Whether playing outdoors in the bright summer sun, or at an indoor facility in the middle of the winter, there's nothing quite like a challenging game. Stay connected with everything in the tennis world at FOX Sports Tennis.

Real Estate Tips
First Time Buyers >Your Principal Residence

The Federal Tax Code allows married taxpayers to exclude from capital gains taxes up to $500,000 in profits from selling a home (singles can exclude $250,000). In order to qualify for this exemption, you must prove that that the home has been your principal residence for at least two out of the last five years. The establishment of the home as a principal residence depends on the facts of each homeowner's circumstance. Here are two cases to consider.

Homeowner A has lived at 25 Pine Drive for 12 years. Although he stays at his vacation cottage in another town for up to three months out of each year (sometimes more), 25 Pine Drive is his principal residence, where he lives most of the time. When he sells the home, Homeowner A (filing as a single individual) can keep up to $250,000 in tax-free profit.

Homeowner B buys 108 Maple Street, intending to live there. He rents it out while waiting to sell his current home, where he has lived for six years. His principal residence sells at the end of two years. Homeowner B moves into his new house, lives there for three months, and then decides to travel. After a six-month trip, he regrets buying 108 Maple Street and sells it. Even though he has owned the house on Maple Street for over two years, it won't qualify as "owner-occupied", because he only lived in it for a few months. Thus Homeowner B is not eligible to claim the tax exemption when he sells the house on Maple Street.

Consult your tax advisor for advice about your particular circumstance.
