Report: 'Housewives' Couple Owes Three Times More Than List Price of Toms River Home

Gorgas also listed Montville home for $3.8 million in May.

Joe and Melissa Gorga, stars of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" and Montville residents, may not get such a great deal on their home in Toms River that went on the market last week for $520,000.

According to the Daily Mail, the Gorgas allegedly took out several loans to pay for the Toms River home and will still owe approximately $1.5 million once it is sold. The Daily Mail reported that the Gorgas purchased the home for $450,000 in 2005 but refinanced for a $2.25 million mortgage.

Melissa Gorga is a Toms River native, but the couple's year-round home is in Montville.

Read the full story from the Daily Mail here.

Last month, the Gorgas also put their Montville mansion on the market for $3.8 million. This is the second time the Gorgas have tried to sell that property since 2010.

I'm guessing some loan company underwriter and appraiser are in a world of poo-poo.

I think whoever wrote this article mixed up the facts - they probably refinanced Montville for 2.5 not the Toms River House. No bank would do it!

More NJ trash that made it on TV to do nothing more than make our State look bad to the rest of the Country! It should be called the real Dirtbags of New Jersey.

She's from TR.... that explains it! Her house is on a shitty block in TR and it's entirely too small for the price.
