October Real Estate Market Activity in West Orange and Maplewood, NJ and More

During the month of October, there has been an average of 44 residential homes in total that have gone under contract in eight northern New Jersey towns week-to-week. These towns include Livingston, Maplewood, Millburn/Short Hills, Montclair, Nutley, South Orange, Verona and West Orange.

West Orange ends the month of October 25-31 the way it began, with a bang. This town topped the charts with 11 homes under contract this week alone, beating the other seven area towns: Livingston, Maplewood, Millburn/Short Hills, Montclair, Nutley, South Orange and Verona. Montclair tried to give it a run for its money with nine single-family homes under contract. And Verona, well, this month has Verona trailing behind week after week, never going above three homes under contract in a given week.

These lists only shows when a real estate agent has listed a home as under contract in the Garden State Multiple Listing Service (GSMLS). The homeowner is on track for the house to be sold in the near future. However, there are things that can go awry that causes the house to not be sold. These weekly lists show the current activity in the market and what price point is moving within each town.
