Your Montgomery Realtor
Working with Charlie Wu in Montgomery
I have represented buyers and sellers across Montgomery Township since 2015, from townhouse communities to country-club homes.
For buyers
Winning in multiple-offer situations
Well-priced Montgomery homes often draw several offers in the first week. I have won them for buyers again and again, including in Cherry Valley Country Club, the Montgomery community where I have represented the most buyers.
Offers backed by data
Before you write an offer, I analyze recent comparable sales, pending deals and the competing homes on the market, so you know what the home is really worth and how strong your offer needs to be to win without overpaying.
Access before the market
Through my private network, my buyers hear about off-market and coming-soon homes before they show up on public search sites.
For sellers
Prepared before it goes live
Most of my listings are painted and professionally staged before the first showing, and marketed with professional photography, so buyers see the home at its best from day one.
Pricing backed by data
I track every listing and sale across the Greater Princeton market and build each price from a detailed analysis of recent comparable sales, pending deals and the homes you are competing against right now.
Built to draw competing offers
When interest is strong, I set a clear offer deadline so every buyer competes at once.
“Charlie is an exceptional real estate agent. He has deep and accurate knowledge of the local market, recent sales, neighborhood trends, and property values, and his guidance helped us secure our dream home on the very first try. His professionalism and strong sense of responsibility gave us tremendous confidence and peace of mind throughout the process.”
“He gave me a realistic market estimate, helped with staging and repairs, and connected me with reliable resources at reasonable costs [...] Compared with my previous experience with another agent, the difference was huge. Charlie truly provided five-star service, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell a home in New Jersey.”
Montgomery Township continues to run as one of the faster-moving submarkets in the Greater Princeton corridor. The live numbers are in the market report below. Inventory stays thin at the typical Montgomery price point, so there is no overhang of stale homes. Well-prepared houses across the township's planned-community cores sell cleanly when they hit. Larger estate-tier homes above $1.6 million face a smaller buyer pool and can take longer. Montgomery's structural appeal, top-ranked Township schools at a meaningful discount to Princeton, continues to draw families willing to trade walkability and rail access for more land and newer construction.

How we measure this
Source: BrightMLS listings and closed sales, compiled by The Wu Team. Town follows the MLS area (Montgomery Twp); rentals excluded.
Windows are rolling 12 months ending Oct 20, 2026; the comparison period is the 12 months ending Oct 31, 2025, last year's month end, the same basis as the 1-year change on the market page. Months of supply = active listings divided by average monthly closed sales over the last 12 months.
Detached figures exclude 55+ communities. Active listings and months of supply include every property type.
Days on market covers closed sales only: the MLS count for each home sold in the window, which stops when the listing goes Active Under Contract (before the later Pending date). Homes that never sold are not included. Sold over asking and sold-to-list use the ORIGINAL list price, so price cuts count against them. Original price resets if a home is relisted.
Past active-listing counts rebuild each listing's on-market period from its dates. Withdrawn listings before April 2026 are incompletely recorded, so earlier counts may be slightly low.
Smaller towns (roughly under 100 detached sales a year) move more month to month; read direction, not decimals.
