Montgomery Township NJ Real Estate - Prices Of The Houses Sold

Average Price Of Houses and Condos Sold in Montgomery Township NJ In 2004 – 2007

The prices of homes and what is happening in the Montgomery real estate market is always on the minds of the homeowners. It is even more so now, given the economic uncertainties of the effects of the sub prime mortgage fall out and the possible recession. The price of the homes sold is one of the indicators of the real estate market.

Looking at the Montgomery Township for the period of 2004-2007, the news is positive - 11% increase in the average prices of houses and condos sold.  Unfortunately for the 2007 the average sale price declined 3%
. Most of the increase for the 2004-2007 occurred in 2005, followed by the declines in 2006 and 2007.

In comparison the Princeton house prices increased 3% this year and had an overall 17% increase since 2004. Hopewell showed an increase for the 2007 of 4%, West Windsor – decline of 4%, and Pennington – decline of 15 %.

The charts below illustrate the differences in the trend for the other areas in the greater Princeton real estate market.

                          The increase in the average price  of the houses sold in 2007 in Princeton, does not necessarily indicate the increase for the 2008.  The concerns about the economy and the general perception of the public that real estate prices will be going down is keeping many buyers from entering the market. On the other hand, there are still buyers that need to buy because of their circumstances and houses priced competitively will continue to sell.

Hi. I was intrigued by a blog post you wrote, but I do not know the date of the post. I am guessing it was written in 2008, since it showed data from 2004-2007. The web address began with activerain.com/blogsview/340588 and it showed charts comparing the residential home price movements of Princeton and local areas.

I was wondering if you have updated this information to reflect the years 2008 and 2009.

My anecdotal observation is that Montgomery Township has declined far more than the other towns, such as Princeton, Hopewell, Pennington and Lawrenceville (the latter town was not in your charts).
