Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Mercer County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Mercer County currently leans toward a seller’s market, with a market gauge of 44 out of 100. Months of supply sit at 3.6, just slightly above New Jersey’s 3.5 months. Even so, conditions are not extremely tight, which gives both sides some room to negotiate.
Home values show a mixed pricing picture. The typical home value is about $434,000 in September, down nearly 4% from a year ago and almost 10% from the prior month, while the median list price has ticked up slightly year over year and more strongly month over month. Inventory has expanded, with active listings up about 13% compared with last year, and homes sold have also increased nearly 9% year over year, indicating more choices and steady demand.
Time on market has inched up, with the median days on market rising to 48, about 1% higher than a year ago, which can ease pressure on buyers. At the same time, roughly 40% of homes are still selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is holding around 100%, showing that well-priced homes continue to attract strong offers. Against the backdrop of New Jersey’s higher median sale price of about $558,000, Mercer County looks relatively more affordable while still active. Whether you are buying or selling, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who knows how to navigate these conditions for your goals.
Mercer County offers residents a balanced, welcoming community with excellent schools, vibrant cultural and outdoor amenities, and easy access to nearby urban centers.
Mercer County combines college-town energy, historic neighborhoods, and surprisingly easy access to both New York and Philadelphia, which sets it apart from nearby suburban counties. From stately streets in Princeton to classic rowhomes in Trenton and quiet subdivisions in Hamilton, each community has its own identity yet still feels connected.
Local life balances culture and open space. Residents enjoy performances at McCarter Theatre Center, exhibits at the Princeton University Art Museum, and events on the Trenton City calendar. Outdoor options range from the Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath to family days at Mercer County Park and campus strolls at The College of New Jersey. Neighborhoods like Villa Park or Lawrence Township offer established streets with a strong sense of community.
Commuters value access to NJ Transit’s Trenton Transit Center and major highways, while local schools and libraries, such as the Mercer County Library System, support long term roots. Whether you prefer walkable in town living or a quieter cul de sac, prices and pace can vary block by block.
In a competitive and evolving market, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto connects Mercer County buyers with agents who know the nuances of each neighborhood and helps sellers find professionals who can price, prepare, and market their homes effectively.

“We had the pleasure of working with Simi for six months to find our home, and we could not have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable, proactive, and truly devoted to her clients' best interests. Throughout our entire search, her professionalism and grace under pressure were remarkable. If you are looking for a dedicated realtor who will advocate for you with elegance and expertise, look no further than Simi.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Ken throughout our home-buying journey! As first-time homebuyers in the US, we really appreciated his guidance, patience, and support at every step of the process. Ken was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. He was always available to answer our questions, provided honest advice, and made sure we felt comfortable and informed while making important decisions. We’re very grateful to Ken for helping us find our home and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!”
“I had the opportunity to work with mr counts to sell my home in Mount Holly. He was great and made the whole processes honestly enjoyable. We were able to get a good offer accepted after 1 weekend and closed in 45 days. He came through for my family and I we couldn't be happier.”
“Dan is the best realtor my husband and I have worked with. He's easy to get in touch with and always goes above and beyond for his clients. We cannot wait to work with Dannin the future for our forever home.”
“Dan is the best realtor my husband and I have worked with. He goes above and beyond for his clients and he’s always easy to touch bases with! We cannot wait to work with him again when we’re finding our forever home.”
“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Diana! She helped us both buy our new home and sell our previous home, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose her! Throughout both processes, Diana was always so sweet, patient, and cool, calm, and collected (even when we weren’t!). She constantly checked in to ask what was worrying us, how we were feeling, and what she could do to help ease our minds. She was incredibly responsive and communicative, whether it was answering our late-night texts, early-morning questions, or helping us navigate any requests or concerns that came up. She always made us feel like we were a priority and never made us feel like we were asking too much. After losing out on three other homes for various reasons before working with Diana, we were feeling pretty discouraged. But she made such a difference in our experience. Her patience, reassurance, and willingness to go above and beyond meant so much to us. Buying and selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but having Diana by our side made everything feel so much more manageable. We are beyond grateful for her and so happy to be in our new home! We would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you, Diana, for everything!”
“I can't say enough good things about James! I worked with him on both the purchase of a rental property and finding a tenant afterward, and he was fantastic throughout the entire process. He's extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market, incredibly responsive, and just so easy to work with. He was always available to answer questions (even at odd hours!) and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. What made the experience especially nice was that James was not only a great agent but also someone I genuinely enjoyed getting to know. By the end, I felt like I'd made a friend. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great real estate agent in the Mercer County area.”
“Virendra did an excellent job helping us find our new home. He has an outstanding knowledge on the market and never hesitates to answer questions. He is very friendly and nice.”
“I could not have made a better decision than entrusting Cynthia with the sale of my family’s house following my mother’s passing. Cynthia's knowledge of the market, thoroughness and go-to-market strategies proved vital in helping us secure the best offer possible for our family’s home. Cynthia was actively involved throughout the process, going above and beyond to meet our needs at every step of the way. She kept in constant communication to make sure things stayed on track taking the necessary time to explain the process and our options at each stage. Plus she also proved to be highly resourceful, finding answers or contacts for whatever situation arose. Cynthia delivered an outcome that surpassed my family's expectations. Not just exceeding our expected sales price, but also with the care and attention that our family needed during that difficult time.”
“I had an excellent experience working with Madalina! She is very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. She helped me negotiate the price and made the entire home-buying process easy and stress-free. She always had answers to my questions, very responsive, and on top of every detail. I would definitely recommend Madalina to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“I worked with Holden and had a really great experience overall. Initially I was a little skeptical just because I didn't really know him yet and you always wonder if someone is just trying to rush you through the process. But as a young first time homebuyer, once I realized he was around my age, it actually made things a lot more comfortable and easy to talk through. Holden is very easy to talk to, patient, and very knowledgeable about the home buying process. Anytime I had questions he either had the answer right away or would find it very quickly. I appreciated that he always stayed on top of everything and made sure we were moving in the right direction without feeling rushed. Whenever I decide to take the next step with my home in the future, I'd be more than happy to work with Holden and his team again!”
“Vesna was wonderful. She did an amazing job. She is a world class professional. No excuses just results. Long story short God bless me with her. She is simply a legend. Hands-down the best. My words could express how instrumental she was in selling my property. Thank you Vesna!”
“Working with Yakenya was such a great experience! From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and confident about selling my home. She took the time to help me prepare, stage, and showcase my home in the best possible way, and I could tell she genuinely cared about getting the best results for me. She was patient, knowledgeable, attentive, and always there when I had questions or needed guidance. What could have been a stressful process felt so much easier with Yakenya by my side. I’m truly grateful for all of her hard work and dedication and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home!”
“Used Dean Terry for a home purchase, he went above and beyond on all fronts and I will be using him as my realtor moving forward. He kept me informed on what was going on, every step of the process was smooth and Dean and provided great insight.”
“It was a pleasure working with Mark and his team. Mark always responded, easy to reach even when he was on vacation. He walked us through everything in a way that was easy to understand and took away the anxiety of the process. He was patient with us and worked well with us.”
“We had such a great experience working with Pat to find our home in New Jersey! Since we were moving from out of state, we relied heavily on Pat to tour homes for us, and he was incredibly responsive, reliable, and thorough throughout the entire process. He always took the time to send us detailed videos and walk through each home as if we were there ourselves, which made the out-of-state home-buying process so much easier. Pat went above and beyond to make sure we found the right home for our family, and we truly appreciated how easy he was to work with from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Pat to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“We had a great experience working with Charlie. He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. He was always patient and willing to answer my questions. Thanks Charlie!”
“She was very nice and professional and got us into the apartment we wanted from the start.”
“5 stars across the board!!! Laura helped my wife and I locate our new home in Atco NJ. While this was not normally her typical area it really shows how much she steps up for every client. She went above and beyond making connections, gathering info, and learning the area through multiple avenues. So when we had questions she was able to answer, or she knew exactly who would know the answer. Her experience helped reassure us in some of the tougher decisions and she provided valuable insight all along the way. I think what we really appreciated the most while working with Laura was how much passion she has. She goes above and beyond to accomplish the goals and She truly wants her clients to be happy. It feels like she gets just as much joy when the sale or purchase is finally complete as the clients do. If you’re not sure about working with Laura we say don’t second guess! Because buying and selling isn’t tricky when you’re with Sawicki! So happy with our buying experience! Thank you again Laura!”
“Jeremy was an outstanding team member to work with especially as a first time home buyer. His communication is very reliable. He is always looking out for the best of his clients. His recommended teams to work with are out of this world. I would highly recommend anyone to looking for an agent.”
