Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Plainfield real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Plainfield’s housing market is moving at a moderate pace, with 71 homes listed in March 2026 and 33 of those being new listings. Buyers have a bit more to choose from than last year, as inventory is up 12.7 percent year over year, even though new listings are down 15.38 percent. Contract activity has cooled compared with a year ago, with pending sales down 25 percent and homes taking a median of 70 days to go under contract.
Pricing is adjusting in response to these conditions, but sellers still hold the advantage. The market gauge sits at 26, pointing to a seller’s market where months of supply is a relatively lean 3.2 months and about 45 percent of homes sell above list price.
Typical home values in Plainfield are around $505,000, which is lower than Union County’s $642,500, and have slipped 4.72 percent over the past year even as they rose 3.27 percent month over month. The median list price jumped 16.76 percent month over month to reach $575,000 in March, and projections show list prices could reach about $616,275 next month while typical values edge toward $513,000 and inventory holds near 70 homes. With an average sale-to-list ratio just above 1.00, modest price premiums still appear, so both buyers seeking value and sellers aiming to capitalize on demand can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate professional to guide their moves.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Tina was absolutely amazing throughout our entire home buying process. She was always professional, responsive, and truly cared about helping us every step of the way. Thanks to her, everything went smoothly and we felt supported from beginning to end. We are so grateful for all her help. Highly recommend!”
“It was a pleasure to work with Eugene while selling my mom's house! I knew it would not be an enjoyable process, but he helped make it as easy as possible.”
“The agent demonstrated a considerable amount of experience and knowledge throughout the sale.”
“Cathleen was helpful and responsive!”
“Very professional and knowledgeable.... always available and excellent response time.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Maryanne Sawade was attentive to details and a pleasure to work with. I would not have contacted her if it wasn't for Agent Pronto.”
“Allie is the best realtor. She found and made sure I got my dream house. You will not be disappointed! She is personable, pleasant, easy to reach, answers any questions you have, is on top of every step.....no need to go on....I think you got my point....she's fantastic!”
“I believe Chris Ryan performed his job in a very professional manner, taking the concerns of this sellers to heart in most cases. He seems truly to have our best interests in mind when making the marketing decisions he did. His reports were timely, and informative. I would recommend his services to others. Paul F Hallbauer”
