Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Somerset 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).
Inventory in Somerset County has expanded, giving buyers more options to consider. Active listings are up nearly 18 percent year over year to 1,102, and new listings have risen slightly from last year as well. Even with this added supply, the area is still classified as a seller's market with 2.8 months of supply, though that is much higher than a year ago.
Contract activity has cooled from last month, with homes sold down sharply month over month and about 10 percent lower than a year ago, while pending sales are roughly flat year over year. Homes are taking longer to secure a buyer, with the median days on market up to 31 days and modestly higher than last September.
Pricing is showing signs of easing in response to these shifting dynamics. The typical home value is slightly below last year, and the share of homes selling above list price has declined to about 48 percent, while the average sale-to-list ratio has edged just over 101 percent. Compared with New Jersey overall, Somerset County homes are more expensive, but the county has more limited inventory than the state’s 3.5 months of supply. With these nuanced conditions, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands the current market and how to navigate it effectively.
Somerset County offers residents a vibrant, family-friendly community with excellent schools, abundant parks and outdoor recreation, a thriving arts and dining scene, and convenient access to major cities, all supported by strong services and safe neighborhoods.
Somerset County stands out from nearby areas like Middlesex County and Union County by combining small town character with a strong sense of shared community life. From historic Somerville and Bound Brook to the corporate hubs near Bridgewater, neighborhoods here tend to feel connected, with schools, parks, and local events tying residents together.
Outdoor time is a big part of daily life. Residents walk and bike along the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park, explore Duke Farms, and enjoy ballfields, trails, and playgrounds through the Somerset County Park Commission. Cultural and community activities range from minor league baseball at TD Bank Ballpark to seasonal festivals and local dining in Somerville’s walkable downtown.
Families pay close attention to schools such as Somerville Public Schools and Hillsborough Township Public Schools, while commuters value easy access to NJ Transit, major highways, and nearby employment centers in New Brunswick and Princeton. Housing options span older homes on tree lined streets, newer subdivisions, and townhomes close to shopping and transit.
In a market where well priced homes can move quickly, preparation matters. Whether you are planning a first purchase or considering selling after decades in your home, connecting with a knowledgeable local agent through Agent Pronto can help you time the market, price confidently, and move forward with clarity.

“On top of every detail. Julia was professional in every way and a delight to work with. She made sure every detail throughout the process was taken care of in a timely manner. She saved us money by discovering an expense that we should not have to pay. We’ve bought and sold many homes over the years and Julia was one of the best we’ve ever worked with.”
“I will be forever grateful to Catherine and Maria for all they did for me . It was a process selling my house for sure . But they somehow managed to tackle every single issue that came our way . And they did it flawlessly. I wouldn’t have been able to get through this without them . Both of them are so trustworthy and caring, that’s hard to find sometimes . They were so easy to get it touch with too . They took the stress off my plate and I couldn’t be more thankful. I will be using them again to purchase a house . Thank you guys for everything!!”
“I’m so glad I worked with Mehek to find tenants for my home. She was on top of things from the start and walked me through every step, so I never felt like I had to figure things out on my own. I really appreciated how organized she was and the care she took with all the paperwork. Everything moved quickly without feeling rushed, and she kept me updated along the way. Thank you for making the whole process so much easier! I’d happily recommend her”
“Peggy made selling my house quick and easy”
“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.”
“If you want to buy or sell real estate in New Jersey, Anna is the only one you should work with. No other agent compares to her. The way she works, conducts business, and communicates with people, along with her deep knowledge of all the details—it's truly exceptional. I’ve worked with her before, and while I was extremely satisfied then, this time she exceeded all expectations and I am simply so happy to have found such an agent. Other agents just couldn't handle it—with them, you only waste time and feel no support at all. Anna, on the other hand, is always available and on top of everything. Her professionalism and dedication are unmatched. I couldn't be happier!”
“Matt was the perfect fit for us when we were ready to sell our parents’ home. Our situation needed a bit more attention and Matt provided much needed guidance. Thank you for everything Matt and you will be on my short list for another home sale!”
“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.”
“I had to sell my home as I was going through a difficult life transition. I was looking for a kind, friendly and responsive. Yesenia was everything and more. I chose Yesenia because she was persistent but calm. She provided top notch service with such patience and kindness. Choose Yesenia if you want a great experience with your home selling for the best price. She is the best!!”
“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!”
“We had a phenomenal experience working with Jake throughout our home buying process. As a Morris County New Jersey real estate agent, he is extremely knowledge of the area. What separates Jake from most is he took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a home and was extremely patient with us until we found the right one. Additionally – he was always willing to go the extra mile for anything we needed or just answering general questions we had on the home buying process. In today’s market, working with a great agent is critical to getting the home you want, 10/10 experience and would recommend Jake to anyone!”
“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.”
“Daniel is highly professional and has a team that always responds in a timely manner and is very efficient. The property I had was out of state, Daniel took care of everything that needed to be taken care of and saved me loads of trouble. He monitored the entire process and made sure everything was handled with utmost professionalism. Daniel is definitely the best and I cannot thank him enough for taking care of this for me.”
“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.”
“Roxanne Briano handled the purchase and sale of this property. Roxanne was very responsive to our every need and used her professional skill set to come up with a marketing plan which she ultimately executed to perfection. I would highly recommend any buyer or seller to work with Roxanne in the future.”
“Danielle was incredibly professional, always provided as much info as possible, and made the experience super enjoyable and smooth for us. We are incredibly grateful that when we booked our first random tour through zillow, she was our realtor.”
“My wife and I had a truly great experience selling our house with the Lacerda Team. Sellibg a two-family house is a complex, even daunting, process, especially after owning it 39 years. But Andrea educated us, regularly reassured us and settled down our anxiety. She communicated with us regularly, every step of the way. Joe competently managed marketing aspects creating media, managing Zillow and similar sites. And Jessie helped in many other ways like placing signs and helping us determine fire extinguisher and smoke detector locations. Due to the rigor and complexity of state and local laws specific to multi-family homes, which has changed dramatically in 39 years, this process could have driven us insane. But Andrea was so helpful, thorough, and compassionate, the process came to a joyful conclusion. Her team worked in the background to market the property, ultimately generating eighteen offers, and once we settled on a buyer, Andrea worked closely with the buyer's agent to keep the process moving forward at a rapid clip. We highly recommend The Lacerda Team!”
“If you’re looking to buy or sell then you have come to the right place. Tracey is phenomenal. From looking at our place and helping us decide on the right listing price in a complex market environment all the way to closing and then helping us find our next home. There’s truly no one better. Tracey is incredibly knowledgeable, has a vast network of qualified and prompt connections (inspectors, general contractors, mortgage lenders, you name it), and is truly in your corner. There was no question too big or small. She took the time to understand us and advocate for us making this an easy stress-free process because we knew we could trust her. She goes above and beyond and will go out of her way to make herself available for calls, to be on-site, and to get you into any property that could be a match. What speaks louder than what we could share is the way other realtors react when they know you’re working with Tracey. Her name is not just known - it is respected. Realtors know working with Tracey means a smooth transaction is coming. She advocates hard for her clients, but is fair, easy to work with and gets deals done. All that we could ask for - and what makes her such a respected professional in the field. We cannot thank Tracey enough and would recommend her to anyone.”
“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!”
