August Home Sale Stats & Sale Prices for select Essex, Union, Morris & Somerset County New Jersey Towns

Dear Friends,

Now that the mad back-to-school rush is over, things are really picking up in the real estate world. New listings are starting to pop up every day in Short Hills, Millburn, Summit, Maplewood, South Orange, Livingston, Harding, Mendham, Basking Ridge, Montclair, Westfield and surrounding NJ towns, and the best news is... more sellers are starting to listen to the market and price their homes to stand out as a good value.

I've been selling real estate since 1983, when the rates were about 14%, so fortunately, I'm one of the few local realtors who really understands how to advise both buyers and sellers in slower markets. I've actually already closed $42.7M in sales year to date so "slow" is probably the wrong word to use. To clarify, in our market, slow means... 20-50 showings on a mid range house with proper marketing, but only 1 or 2 offers ( instead of 4-10), which most likely will not be asking price ( except in rare instances), if and only if you're priced well, marketed well, advised well, and staged to sell. Otherwise, it may be a deathly slow market for you.
