New Jersey Real Estate Market

New Jersey’s housing market remains strong in 2025, driven by steady demand and limited inventory. The median home price has climbed to around $583,000, marking a year-over-year increase of over 6%. Homes continue to sell quickly, often within 2 to 4 weeks, especially in high-demand areas near New York City and the Jersey Shore. While new listings are gradually increasing, supply still lags behind buyer interest, keeping upward pressure on prices. Overall, the market is competitive, with buyers facing tight conditions and minimal room for negotiation.
