Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Princeton currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market and just 2.2 months of supply in this rolling three-month period through September 2026. Tight inventory is underscored by supply falling sharply year over year, even as active listings have inched up slightly compared with a year ago.
Prices show moderate upward pressure over the past year, with typical home values up about 10 percent and the median list price climbing nearly 13 percent year over year. At the same time, the average sale-to-list ratio is close to 99 percent and about 17 percent of homes are selling above asking, signaling that buyers are still negotiating but not routinely bidding far over list.
Demand appears steady to improving on a yearly basis, as homes sold in this three-month window are up more than 17 percent from a year earlier even though new listings have fallen by about 12 percent. With homes spending a median of 50 days on the market, conditions give buyers some time to decide while still rewarding sellers who price accurately. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate limited options or a seller seeking to capitalize on current conditions, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Princeton agent who understands this market.

“Ed and his team were true professionals. He made home buying very easy. His knowledge of the area and house construction took some fear out of the homebuying process. We will use and recommend Ed and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you for making our homebuying less stressful Ed and Jenn.”

“I highly recommend working with Cesar. One of the things I liked best about working with him was that he really seemed to have my best interests at heart. This man will be pulling out his phone light checking basement corners for any signs of mold or water and checking above every stove to see if there’s a proper vent or not. He noticed many things on walk throughs that my parents and I may have just breezed right past and he makes sure to point out the things he notices, good or bad. They say never trust a sales person but idk, I think Cesar’s just in it for the love of the game at this point. I dragged this man to a LOT of houses and he never once rushed me. He was very insistent that we need to find the right fit for me and that I not go past the amount of money I was comfortable with. This was my first time buying a home so I had about 80,000 questions and he was always happy to talk through any questions or concerns. He’s a fun guy to work with as well. In these trying times you need a sense of humor or the home buying process will be miserable. All in all I would definitely recommend working with him.”

“Graham was absolutely wonderful to work with during our out of state move. He kept everything feeling smooth and stress free, stayed in great communication, and was always quick to answer any questions we had. His friendly attitude and willingness to help made the whole selling process so much easier. We truly appreciated all his support and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor!”
Coldwell Banker Realty
“Calvin is truly a top-class realtor who genuinely cares about his clients. During the entire process of listing my home with him, from the initial listing consultation to closing, he always made time for me, consistently providing professional, courteous, and valuable knowledge. This made the outcome as smooth as possible. The service he provided went above and beyond any realtor I've ever worked with, and I can't recommend him enough.”

“Noel made buying my first home super easy! This market was hard to buy in, but he was on top of new listings and was able to get us a tour the first day houses went up! He was also very communicative through the whole closing process and knowledgeable on all the first-time homebuying things to know. I highly recommend Noel!”
Smart Home Realty

His understanding of local markets is unmatched blended with the highest standards of professional integrity. He is a clear communicator and remains exceptionally calm under pressure coupled with his honest, caring approach to all aspects of the process of purchasing a home. Look no further. He's your realtor.”
Realty One Group Impact
“Selling our condo was a much smoother experience than I expected, and I truly have Larry to thank for that. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. Night or Day, weekday or weekend Larry answered the phone and communicated actively any information about the process to us. A true professional. He guided us through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and always made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills. Larry advocated for our best interests every step of the way and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. We always felt like he had our back and never settled for less than what our home was worth. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, strategic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, we can’t recommend Larry Lazar highly enough. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process seamless. We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”

She, and Baird and Warner, far exceeded our highest expectations. Outstanding results!”
