Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Somerset County real estate market. *
June 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 (Jun 2026).
Inventory in Somerset County has expanded, with active listings up more than 10% year over year and just over 1,100 homes on the market in June. Buyer activity is also strong, as homes sold rose about 6% compared with last year and pending sales climbed nearly 13%. With months of supply at 2.1, the area still leans toward a seller’s market even as options increase.
Contract flow has accelerated into early summer, with closed sales jumping more than 40% from May to June and pending contracts up over 15% month over month. Homes are also moving a bit faster than last month, with the median days on market slipping to 18 days, though that’s slightly slower than a year ago.
Pricing is adjusting to these conditions, as the typical home value in June was down about 13% from last year and roughly 5% from May, while the median list price is modestly higher than a year ago. Even with softer sale prices, competition for desirable homes remains firm, with about 69% of properties selling above list and an average sale-to-list ratio above 103%. Compared with New Jersey overall, Somerset County has tighter inventory than the state’s 3.2 months of supply, supporting sellers while still giving buyers more choices. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who knows this market well.
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.

“This is the second time I’ve worked with Matthew Tully to sell a home, and once again, he exceeded my expectations. Matthew is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. He developed an excellent pricing and marketing strategy that resulted in my house selling quickly and for above the asking price. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed, answered all of my questions promptly, and made everything as smooth and stress-free as possible. His attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Matthew Tully to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. The fact that I chose to work with him a second time speaks for itself. Thank you, Matthew, for another outstanding job!”

Her professionalism, knowledge, communication and dedication were truly outstanding. Tina was always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and worked incredibly hard to make sure everything stayed on track.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Tina Torres to anyone buying or selling a home. She is truly one of the best realtors out there!!”

“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.”

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.”
