Housing Market
Live data, updated daily. Median prices, days on market, and sale-to-list ratios; the three numbers that tell you what's actually happening.
“
April closed with a split picture. Princeton, West Windsor, and Lawrence held flat or ticked up; Montgomery, Plainsboro, and Hopewell pulled back 1 to 2 percent on the median. In lower-volume towns like Montgomery and Plainsboro, the monthly median swings with mix, so look at the sale-to-list ratio instead: every town is still clearing at or above list. That's the more reliable demand signal. The deeper read: only well-prepared homes priced right are drawing multiple offers within days. Aspirationally-priced listings without prep go stale, and a stale listing usually nets less than a correctly-priced one would have. Asking more often gets you less. Price for the buyer pool you actually have.
