New Jersey Realtors Releases Year-End Housing Data

New Jersey’s housing market closed out 2025 with housing prices and buyer demand holding steady, underscoring the resilience of the New Jersey market, according to year-end housing data released by New Jersey Realtors this week.

The median sales price across all property types rose 5.4% to $525,000, with 86,440 closed sales statewide in 2025. The average number of days on market increased 8.3% to 39 days, while the percent of list price received saw a modest 0.7% decline to 101.5%, reflecting a still-competitive environment.

The single-family market posted the strongest gains in median sales price in 2025, rising 6.4% year-over-year to $585,000. Inventory remained limited, with just 8,978 single-family homes for sale statewide in December, a 7.3% decline compared to last year.

Adult communities also experienced notable price growth, with the median sales price increasing 5.7%, or $20,000, to $370,000 for the year. This segment led the market in new inventory, recording nearly an 8% increase in new listings compared to 2024. The number of homes for sale rose 14.4% in December in adult communities, as well.

The townhouse and condominium market saw more modest appreciation, as the median sales price rose 2.9% year-over-year to $422,000.

Across all property types, pending and closed sales remained relatively steady, moving only a few percentage points in either direction and signaling a market that maintained similar overall activity levels to the prior year.

Competition and limited supply continued to define New Jersey’s housing market, setting it apart from national trends. Homes sold at or above list price on average, with single-family properties receiving 102.2% of list price and spending just over 37 days on the market, well below pre-pandemic norms. Inventory remained tight, with a two-month supply of homes statewide, reinforcing seller confidence and supporting continued price stability.

    It’s a luxury asset here. I’d recommend Indiana as an alternative.

    How in the world can you be bearish here? How?!! This is as bullish as we can get….5.3% gdp growth?!! Bears….please stfu with your doom.

    “America’s trade deficit plunges by half to the smallest in nearly 2 decades.

    – Chinese imports crashed
    – American exports grew
    – Tariff inflation was absorbed by exporters
    – Trillions of investment incoming

    Instead of importing Chinese junk we’re importing factories.”

    Fast It is all great here (supposedly), AI will continue to accelerate the loss of jobs, and no area will be remain untouched. Thousands of office white collar jobs are being eliminated, whole levels of middle management being eliminated too, effectively destroying a career path for many assuming they survived the AI cuts.Our are is not immune, in fact it is the most vulnerable for huge job loss.

    “This is the fourth time in history that the #Bitcoin valuation against Gold hits a RSI of 30.

    The last three times:
    – The low in 2015 bear market.
    – The low in 2018 bear market.
    – The low in 2022 bear market.

    History shows that #Bitcoin is extremely undervalued today relative to Gold.

    It’s wise to buy.”

    Invest or get left behind. Can’t say it enough.

    Don’t mistaken this as “weakness” in the economy. Quite the opposite. The economy is becoming brutally efficient and it’s happening quickly. Massive restructuring of the economy is taking place…will make the industrial revolution look like child’s play.

    Just look at how much more efficient the govt is…trump eliminated so many federal jobs. Those people now have to adapt and discover their purpose in this new economy.

    Look at all the fraud being discovered. These are all bullish signals. Capital being reallocated from waste to efficiency.

    Look at the tariffs….fixing inefficient trade system. Look at our trade deficit…down to unthinkable levels. Money is no longer leaving our economy…hard not to be bullish with all that capital staying here to be invested.

    3B – The five white Norwegians who are on the committee are never going to give Trump a prize no matter how much “peace” he says he brought to the world real or imagined.

    For you see Trump cut foreign aide, something near and dear to the Norwegians. That tiny country of 5.6 million has trillions in wealth due to massive Oil and Gas reserves. So like the Saudi Arabians they are all rich. Norwegians are so so rich generationally rich especially the ones on that committee. The tend to join those organizations run by the UN and the World Food Programs and Doctors without Borders and others to provide aide to the 3rd world at a rate unheard of. Norwegians donate annually $1160 in foreign aid per person. They also tend to join those foreign aide organizations as employees. Trump cut US foreign aide to those programs. That makes him a “en jævel” person A devil/bastard villain, and with the Greenland thing now they are calling him a real hillbilly bastard. “En skikkelig hillbilly-jævel.”

  16. 3b says:

    Juice: Trump is screwing up with this Greenland thing, because his ego is bruised, which happens quite easily. We look like idiots with this nonsense. Vance, or Rubio, or someone needs to talk him down from this.

    Pumps are you sure this time? Too the Moon? Look it was only early October and the air was thick with the scent of pumpkin spice. Bitcoin had just screamed past its all-time high of $126,000, and according to every “crypto guru” on social media with a neon lit background, $200k was basically a mathematical certainty by Thanksgiving. Well I looked at my house, my sensible four-bedroom in a great neighborhood and thought, this is my chance to get rich! I am sitting on a golden pile of equity.

    I walked into the my bank with the confidence of a man who had cracked the code to the universe. I signed up for that second mortgage without telling my wife, and while the ink still wet on the application as I mentally picked out the color of my future Lamborghini. By the time the funds cleared, Bitcoin was sitting pretty at $126,000. I opened my Coinbase App checked my balance to make sure the funds had cleared and clicked the buy button and went “all in” on Bitcoin. Just like you said I should do.

    Well it seems I bought the literal peak of the mountain. Then came the “October Flash Crash”. The first $10,000 drop was just “healthy consolidation,” I told my wife, who was busy looking at Coinbase Web Page I left open on my screen. The next $20,000 drop was “institutional manipulation.” By the time Bitcoin plummeted to $84,000 in late November, I wasn’t checking the charts anymore. I was checking if our local food bank accepted Satoshi’s.

    Today, well it’s recovered a small amount Bitcoin is hovering around $93,000. It’s a “recovery,” they say. A “surprising surge,” the headlines claim. Meanwhile, I’m living in a house that the bank technically owns twice, eating generic-brand cereal and drinking my morning coffee out of a “HODL” mug that cost me $45 in Ethereum gas fees back in 2021.

    My wife just asked me if we could afford a Spring Break vacation in April this year for the kids to go to Orlando and the Universal Rides. Well told her we’re already on on a high-stakes emotional rollercoaster through the dips and peaks of the crypto blockchains.

    Pumps is there really any good news? The “experts” now say it might hit $143,000 by late 2026.

    The bad news is my second mortgage payment is due on next Tuesday, and currently, my most valuable asset is a limited-edition NFT of a monkey in a suit that is worth approximately four boxes of ramen noodles.

    I either hold my Bitcoin or sell my prized possessions. Do you think my wife with notice if I swap out her diamond with a zirconium? How about I sell all those gold coins I have been hoarding for decades? I cannot sell my Bitcoin it won’t cover the repayment of my second mortgage note and with a 7.5% APR and it is going to sink me fast.

    What should I do Pumps? What should I do…

    “This Greenland crap is madness…he is providing the leftist Democrats with all the ammunition they need to sweep the midterms and the Presidency in 2028.”

    I’ll admit that I’m very curious to see how the Greenland saga ends, but your prognostication is essentially what Dems like Lib said after the Supremes overturned Roe v Wade — and of course we now know that it didn’t stop DJT from winning in 24.

    But lost in the hubbub is the fact that DJT has already proved his point on Greenland. Denmark and the Euros want it to be part of Europe, but they have no intention of spending the $$$ necessary to defend it or it’s territorial waters — and fully expect the US to do that for them. So…

    Didn’t you hear? VAG and the other Dem losers have moved on from eggs to Epstein. Limp-wristed weasels like VAG and PantLoad hate guys like DJT who get things done — it makes it hard for them to find things to whine about.

  28. Fast Eddie says:

    VAG and the other Dem losers have moved on from eggs to Epstein.

    From Ab0rtion to metoo to free Palestine to eggs to epsteen to ICE to who the fuck knows what else. They abandon one for the other, one weekly outrage for the other. They move from one “catastrophe” to the next hoping the screaming in their head will stop. They don’t have a goal, there’s no end game, it’s personal. Miserable people gathering together to “drink” their way out of their misery in the form of justice or cause. It’s a fragmented mess of lives too frightened to breathe on their own.

    You guys aren’t thinking about this Greenland thing properly. If we seize it, we can all have free passage there for free healthcare whenever we need it.

    The lawsuit in Superior Court in Mercer County named New York owners Daryl Hagler and his next-door neighbor and friend, Kenneth Rozenberg. The two have ties to 46 nursing homes in four states. The lawsuit also named other members of their families and associates.

    “The defendants engaged in violation of laws, rules and the Medicaid contract and manipulated financial and compliance reporting, to evade government oversight of their illegal conduct,” the comptroller said in its court filing. “Family members and other beneficial owners were deliberately embedded throughout this structure as owners, officers, and principals of related entities, allowing defendants to maintain effective control, while obscuring true

    Small: This annexation of Greenland if it happens, will be a disaster for America and Americans. Are you telling me you are in favor of the U.S. attacking an ally, a member of NATO?

    Greenland is already in Europe as a self governing entity of Denmark. Greenland is in NATO by virtue of being part of Denmark. We have bases in Greenland already, if bases need to be expanded/ modernized, then it’s done through NATO. Greenlanders do not wish to be part of the U.S., are you saying too bad? Nothing to stop Russia from grabbing so more territory, or China grabbing Taiwan. This is madness,. Oh and kiss the stock market and economy good bye.

    It wasn’t immediately clear what Miller, who didn’t attend law school, was talking about.

    Under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the federal government doesn’t have the authority to order local law enforcement officers to “stand down.”

    Did you read about the 8 year old girl who’s head was fractured by an illegal alien who’s been throwing rocks off of overpasses on the Turnpike? ICE has to grab these bad dudes wherever they can because sanctuary states like NJ won’t let ICE safely apprehend them when they’re already in state custody. Blame Bucktooth Phil for this one. Or blame yourself for shilling for the Dems that put these illegal alien criminals back on the street instead of handing them over to ICE.
