Greater Princeton Area Market Report: October 2026

September showed the closings slowing; October showed the listings had noticed, with resales taking 27 days instead of 21 a year ago and unsold listings aging in five of seven groups.

Greater Princeton Area Market Report:September 2026

The trailing medians say nothing happened in September, but the closings changed: resales took a median 20.5 days instead of 16 and more than half sold below their original ask.

Greater Princeton Area Market Report:August 2026

Princeton crossing $1.7 million will get the attention this month, but the number I would act on is that unsold inventory aged in all seven groups I track, with no exceptions.

Greater Princeton Area Market Report:July 2026

July prices rose almost everywhere, so the easy read is that the market is simply strong. That is not what I am seeing. The speed data split this month, and the split is the useful information.

Greater Princeton Area Market Report:June 2026

June was supposed to be where the market took a breath, and instead it was the busiest month of the year with prices at new highs. Durable demand, not cheap money, and the Fed just dropped its bias toward cutting.

Greater Princeton Area Market Report:May 2026

The market turned hot, and it had nothing to do with rates. Sellers priced realistically, the median home now closes in under two weeks, and frozen demand came roaring back.

Greater Princeton Area Market Report:April 2026

Modest March pullback, but every town still cleared at or above list. The spring pipeline is building, and pre-approved buyers have a real edge before the April surge.

Greater Princeton Area Market Report:March 2026

Inventory is structurally tight, demand from relocation and Princeton University buyers stays steady, and precision pricing matters more than ever. The days of "anything sells" are behind us.
