Yesterday 7/7/06 was the fifty anniversary of our family moving away from Newark on 7/7/1956. My father had a difficult time selling the house. I have an old clipping from either the Newark Evening News or Newark Star Ledger.
Dated 1/9/1957

I think my father sold it for about $8,500.
Now what can you buy for that? Maybe a kitchen remodeled?
