House Hunters in South Orange

I am watching House Hunters on HGTV.  New episode.  Couple is moving from Brooklyn.  First house was in Weehawken.  Second house is in South Orange.

Third house is in South Orange too. 

And the winner is the third house,  the cheaper one in SO,  781K. A colorful colonial near Mountain Station that they said was once a "trolly house"

Thanks ... saw the end of it, so I am taping it at 1am ... will watch tomorrow ...

But wait. I thought Maplewood was Brooklyn West?!

And honorific which Maplewood is welcome to.

I know the 3rd house, which they bought.  Does anyone know where the 2nd house is?

I wonder if it was a real listing, or a fake staged one like they tend to do on that show?

The funny thing about the show is that I believe the buyers have already picked their house before they start taping.  So 2 of the showings could be fake or at least houses in the area that may or may not have been actually on the market.

The show is scripted.

Yes the end result is predetermined and the rest is for show. But still it is entertaining. Sort of like wrestling.
