Those Fords NJ market reports are for Fords residential homes only; they do not include Fords condos or townhouses. Fords NJ homes stats are calculated and published monthly with data from the Middlesex County Multiple Listings System (MLS). Fords NJ homes inventory numbers are also from the Middlesex County MLS.
Those Metuchen market reports are for Metuchen residential homes only; they do not include Metuchen condos or townhouses. Metuchen homes stats are calculated and published monthly with data from the Middlesex County Multiple Listings System (MLS). Metuchen homes inventory numbers are also from the Middlesex County MLS.
Days of Inventory (DOI) has increased 71.1% versus December due to the increased number of new homes. At 375 days, it means it would take about 12 months to sell all existing inventory at the same absorption rate. A market with over 6 months supply would usually qualify as a buyer's market. A market with less than 6 months of supply would usually qualify as a seller's market.
The average sold price has slightly increased (0.9% Vs December). The median sold price decreased 3.9%.
SP/AP ratio stays at 94%. In average, sellers are accepting offers at 94% of their last asking price. Please note that I mentioned "last asking price" and not "original asking price" which is very different. As a general rule, houses that sell are houses that are very close to their current market value as calculated through a Comparative Market Analysis.
Another real estate statistic is Days on Market or DOM which has slightly increased to 91 days. Meaning that it takes about 3 months in average to go under contract. A word of caution with this indicator as it is not a cumulative DOM. Meaning the clock re-starts with any new contract for the same home. This is a good example of the better value of looking at those statistics, which is more in the trend analysis than in a specific number at a specific given time.
That's the end of our local market commentary based on Middlesex County NJ real estate statistics. As always, contact me if any questions.

Middlesex County NJ Market Commentary for January 2010 - Part 1
For Middlesex County NJ, the number of new homes listed in January has increased 125.5% to 724 homes compare to new homes listed in December. It is also higher than January 09.
The Active Inventory as we follow it (homes for sale not including "under attorney reviews") has increased to 2385 homes for sale in Middlesex County NJ as of 02/07/2010. The Active Inventory has been consistently decreasing since last April and is the first increase since then.
This month's absorption rate (197) or number of sold homes has decreased 34.5% versus last month but increased versus last year (15.8%). Buyers are definitely profiting from the grants, incentives available, low interest rates and the overall homes price decrease.
