Year over year, South Amboy’s rolling three-month numbers show a cooler but still relatively strong market. The typical home value is down slightly, about 2 percent from last year, while the median list price has edged down by about 1 percent. Inventory, however, has grown, with active listings up more than 17 percent compared with a year ago, giving buyers more options than they had last fall.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, activity has slowed noticeably. Homes sold are down more than 28 percent from a year earlier, and new listings have fallen by about 12 percent, pointing to fewer completed deals and fewer fresh properties coming to market overall.
Conditions have shifted toward a more balanced environment. Months of supply has surged to 5.6, up sharply from around 3 a year ago, and the median days on market has risen to 74, meaning many homes are taking longer to sell. Only about one-third of recent sales closed above list price, compared with well over half at times in recent years, while the average sale-to-list ratio is essentially at parity around 100 percent. With these mixed signals for pricing and pace, both buyers and sellers in South Amboy can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local real estate agent who understands the current trends.
