Four out of ten homes in New Jersey sold above list price last month. Prices are up 3.8% year-over-year, and inventory is climbing — but the story is more nuanced than the headline.

Zillow's February 2026 data puts the statewide median at $540,400, with active listings at 13,201 — up 11.4% from a year ago. That sounds like meaningful relief for buyers, and in some ways it is. More choices, slightly longer decision windows (median days on market climbed to 60 days, up 6 days year-over-year). But 11% more inventory on a historically depleted base still doesn't bring us close to a balanced market. Sellers remain in the driver's seat in most price ranges across the Greater Princeton area, where demand from Princeton University affiliates, Route 1 corridor professionals, and top-school-district buyers stays consistently strong regardless of broader rate fluctuations.

For buyers, the 60-day DOM is a signal worth watching — it suggests the frantic 48-hour decision window of 2021-2022 has eased, but well-priced homes in sought-after school districts are still moving quickly and attracting multiple offers. For sellers, that 40.1% above-list stat is a reminder that accurate pricing still generates competition — it's overpricing, not market softness, that's adding days on market for the homes that sit.

Zillow刚发布了新泽西2026年2月的房市数据，几个关键数字值得关注。

全州房屋中位价达到$540,400，同比上涨3.8%。在售房源数量升至13,201套，同比增加11.4%。房屋上市到成交的中位天数是60天，比去年同期多了6天。另外有一个数字很能说明问题：40.1%的房子以高于挂牌价的价格成交。

库存增加了，但别误会——11%的增幅是建立在过去几年极低基数上的，距离真正的供需平衡还远着呢。卖方市场的基本格局没有变。

对于在Greater Princeton一带考虑买房的朋友来说，这组数据的实际意义是：你有了比2022年稍多一点的时间来做决定，但好学区、好地段的独栋和联排，该抢的还是在抢。Princeton Regional、West Windsor-Plainsboro、Montgomery这几个学区的房子，只要定价合理，多offer的情况依然常见。

对于想卖房的朋友，那40.1%的数字说明一件事：定价准确仍然能吸引竞争，卖不动的房子问题通常不在市场，在价格。
