Pennington NJ Real Estate - How long to sell?

How long does it take to sell my house? Is the real estate market going to get much worth in the new 2008? Home buyers and sellers in Pennington New Jersey continue to ask these questions heading into the spring market.

I don’t believe that national “Prophets”  know exactly what will happen in each local real estate market. General economic indicators are that the markets will not get much better in terms of home sales prices.

Instead of predicting the future we can look at the historic data. One indicator of the real estate market is how long does it take to sell a house, or what is called in the real estate speak “Days on the market” or DOM.

The chart examines the DOM for five towns Montgomery Township, Hopewell, Pennington, West Windsor, and Princeton from 2004 to 2007.  The main points it illustrates is that:

• As the market declined, it took longer to sell the house.

• The DOM is different for different towns that are next to each other.

• Real estate markets are extremely local, where even one street can be different from another in terms of DOM.

• Pennington - experienced 122% increase in the DOM (compared to 2004) –the largest of the five towns examined.

• Princeton – experienced the smallest increase – 19% (compared to 2004).
