Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Feb 2026 - Apr 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Fords have shifted notably in this rolling three-month view through April 2026. Active listings are up more than 10 percent from a year ago, while months of supply has climbed to around four months, indicating more options than last spring. At the same time, pending sales are higher year over year, even though the number of homes actually sold has dipped.
Pricing is adjusting to these changing conditions. The typical home value is slightly lower than a year ago, but the median list price is up compared with last spring, suggesting sellers are still testing higher asking prices even as buyers have more choices. Homes now take much longer to go under contract than they did a year ago, with median days on market surging compared with early 2025, and a smaller share of properties are selling above list price.
Even with longer marketing times, competition has not disappeared in Fords. Over half of recent sales still close above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio remains just above 100 percent, showing many buyers are still bidding near or over list. With inventory, prices, and timing all moving in different directions, it can be challenging to interpret what this means for your specific situation, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent.

Daily needs are easy to cover, with shopping corridors, diners, and casual restaurants spread across town and into Carteret. Commuters appreciate quick access to Routes 1 and 9, the Garden State Parkway, and nearby Metropark Station, which connects to employment centers across the region. Families often look closely at local school options through the Woodbridge Township School District, adding another key factor in neighborhood choice.

“My agent was Lucy Phelan at Keller Williams, and I had a great experience working with both Lucy and her brother Richard. Both had provided me with their expert advice, they would take extra steps to educate you and walk you thru the home shopping process. They would work on my schedule, try their best to answer all my questions and would point me to the right direction when I was looking for the lender, inspector, lawyer, etc. As a home buyer in this "Bidding War" market, most of my offers were turned down; however, both Lucy and Rich have continuously provided me encouragement to keep trying and looking. I cannot remember how many houses we have looked together...and when I was not able to look at the houses in person, they would video call me to conduct a virtual home showing. In general, they are exceptionally good with people skill, nice/friendly people to talk with and they show care on other things then just home buying. I would like to work with them again in the future and would recommend them to any home buyer/seller.”
Keller Williams Elite, Realtors
“Audra Loccisano worked closely with my siblings and I to sell our parents’ house. She really knew the local Rahway market, as well as needed services and the city building ordinances. Audra had great interpersonal skills, too, and kept in constant communication. And she was especially expert at pricing strategy and negotiations. We were all very satisfied with Audra’s services, with a fast sale at a better than expected price. We can recommend her without reservation.”
