You can buy this Jersey Shore house with Bitcoin
Keep your cash. Avoid a high interest rate mortgage. This New Jersey house for sale lets you pay with cryptocurrency.
A property under construction just hit the market in Sea Bright and the listing says the buyer can pay with Bitcoin.
“I was speaking with the seller, and they’re very big into Bitcoin, and I told them it would be a very good idea to say we would accept Bitcoin for the house,” said Anthony Romano of O’Brien Realty Oceanport, the listing agent. “It would bring good exposure to the listing. There are a lot of people who own cryptocurrency and Bitcoin and would want to use it to buy an asset like real estate.”
It’s unclear whether any real estate transactions in New Jersey have been completed with cryptocurrency.
Romano said he remembers a listing back around 2018 that said the seller would accept Bitcoin but the property didn’t end up closing with cryptocurrency.
A spokesperson for New Jersey Realtors said the trade organization doesn’t “have any recent data on crypto in NJ real estate and are not aware of anyone actively involved in those transactions.”
It is the only listing in New Jersey on Realtor.com that has the word “Bitcoin” in the listing. And there are no listings with the word “cryptocurrency.”
The value of Bitcoin is ever-changing. At midday on Friday, one Bitcoin was valued at $62,261.70. So at that exchange rate, the $4,456,900 home would cost 71.58 Bitcoin.
The property’s listing officially became active on Monday.

Located on Island View Way, the house has six bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, plus one half bathroom. It is still under construction. The exterior is almost complete and the inside was sheetrocked a few weeks ago, Romano said.
“They’re hoping a buyer comes in who can pick their own finishes,” he said, adding that the house could be completed for use this summer.
It will have a pool on the roof, an elevator and while it’s one house back from the water, it has views of the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers, Romano said.
“It’s a show-stopper,” he said.

Woman charged with theft for taking dog outside N.J. home, police say
A woman has been charged with theft for taking a dog outside a Clifton, New Jersey, home in April, police say.
Last month, William Chan told CBS News New York his dog, a 7-year-old Shih Tzu-Yorkshire Terrier mix named Rocky, somehow got out of the house on April 5 while his nephew was dog-sitting.
The Clifton Police Department said investigators determined that while Rocky was loose, he ran down the street and was running in or near the road at times.
Video shows Rocky did eventually return to his own yard, and a child holding a blanket can be seen chasing the dog before a woman gets out of a black SUV parked in the road. Rocky then runs onto the back porch of his home, where the woman and child corner him, grab him with a blanket, take him back to the SUV, and drive away.
The family said Rocky was wearing a harness and ID tag at the time.
Police said the woman did not make any attempt to talk to anyone inside the home or any neighbors, and neither animal control nor police received any calls about a loose dog being found on that day.
Chan called police on April 6 to report that Rocky had possibly been stolen, and investigators were later able to identify 29-year-old Mery Cepeda-Chevalier, of Newark, as a person of interest.
Officers spotted Cepeda-Chevalier’s vehicle in Passaic on April 8 and pulled her over, police said.
According to police, Cepeda-Chevalier cooperated with detectives, admitted she had Rocky, and agreed to have the detectives follow her back to her home. She then handed over the dog, and detectives reunited Rocky with his family.
On Thursday, Cepeda-Chevalier was charged via summons with one count of theft of a domestic companion animal.

Browns Hand Out New Jersey Uniform Numbers for All 10 Draftees, Plus a Dozen UDFAs
The Cleveland Browns announced jersey numbers for all 10 draftees, as the team’s rookie minicamp is underway at the CrossCountry Mortgage Campus.
While First-round picks Spencer Fano and KC Concepcion had already shown off their numbers — 55 and 17, respectively .. at their introductory press conference a few days ago, the jersey numbers for other rookies hadn’t been disclosed until today.
Second-round wideout Denzel Boston will now wear No. 12, quarterback Shedeur Sanders’ old number. Sanders, a fifth-rounder last year, had previously announced a switch to his old college No. 2 beforehand.
Fifth-round linebacker Justin Jefferson has been assigned jersey No. 10, which was used by last year’s second-round running back Quinshon Judkins. No announcement has been made yet on Judkins possibly changing his number, though. He wore No. 1 at Ohio State.
Not all jersey numbers are available in Cleveland, as the team has officially retired five of them: 14 (Otto Graham), 32 (Jim Brown), 45 (Ernie Davis), 46 (Don Fleming) and 76 (Lou Groza).
