Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in South Plainfield has expanded in the latest rolling three-month view, with active listings up more than 20 percent from a year ago. Even with more homes on the market, contract activity is strong, as pending sales have risen nearly 23 percent year over year and closed sales are also higher than last year. Months of supply is still relatively lean at 3.5 months, pointing to conditions that continue to tilt toward sellers.
Pricing has pushed higher over the past year, with the typical home value up about 7 percent compared with the same period last year. List prices are only slightly above year-ago levels, suggesting sellers are not getting too far ahead of buyers despite the gains in sale prices. Buyers are still bidding assertively, as the average sale-to-list ratio sits above 102 percent, though the share of homes selling above asking has eased compared with last year.
Homes are taking longer to go under contract than they did a year ago, with the median days on market rising from the high 50s to about 70 days in this rolling three-month window. That extra time gives buyers a bit more breathing room to compare options, even as well-priced properties can still draw strong interest. Whether you are a buyer weighing more inventory or a seller navigating higher values and shifting demand, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local South Plainfield agent who understands these trends and can guide your next move.

“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!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Heather recently helped me complete a home purchase and she was truly amazing from start to finish! I came to her after not having much success previously. I had seen 20+ homes before and could not get anywhere. I saw one home with her and she managed to get the deal closed within a month! She is extremely responsive and will go the extra mile every time for her clients! I felt that she had my best interest in mind and was very knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She takes her time with every interaction and every negotiation and truly wants to see you succeed in this journey. She is there for you every step of the way and I could not be more thankful for her endless support throughout this journey. She is so kind, thoughtful, and just an altogether amazing person filled with so much joy and excitement. It is clear to see she loves what she does. If you are in the home buying journey and have been struggling or want to find a home especially in this current market, I highly recommend reaching out to Heather. She will get it done no matter the circumstance! The best part is she doesn’t disappear right after the closing like other realtors. She is there for you even after to help you get adjusted to your new home and be a resource for you as you embark upon this new journey. That itself is rare and just proves her dedication and commitment to providing superior service and instilling trust to her clients! Truly exceptional realtor and so thankful we crossed paths!”
“We are truly so grateful for Caryn and everything she did to help our family find a rental home. This was not an easy search for us. We faced quite a few challenges along the way, and there were moments when we honestly wondered if we were going to find a place in time. But Caryn never gave up on us. She worked so hard and was incredibly persistent in helping us find a home. She was constantly communicating, following up, searching for options, and doing everything she could to help. What touched us the most was that she continued to be there for us even after hours and even while she was out of state cheering on and supporting her own children during their competitions. She still made time for us and kept working on our behalf. That kind of dedication meant more to us than she probably realizes. Caryn never made us feel like we were just another rental client. She genuinely cared about our family and understood how important it was for us to find a place we could call home. She was patient with us, reassuring when things didn’t work out, and kept encouraging us to keep going when the search became overwhelming. After everything we went through, finally finding our rental home was such a huge relief. We are so thankful Caryn was there with us through the entire process. She truly went above and beyond, and we will always remember how hard she worked for our family. Caryn, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your kindness, patience, persistence, and dedication made such a difference during a very stressful time in our lives. We are so grateful we found you and had you in our corner. And when the time comes for us to purchase our own home, you will absolutely be the first person we call. We would be honored to have you help us with that next chapter too. If you’re looking for a realtor who will genuinely care about helping you find a place to call home, we highly recommend Caryn. She truly goes above and beyond.”

“Richard represented himself in a professional manner and really helped us out when we needed it the most. He is a young ambitious gentleman and will get the job done for you. Please don’t hesitate to use Richard as your real estate agent. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Richard for all you did for me and my family.”
“The most positive experience I could have possibly imagined! There's really no words to describe how wonderful it was to work with Frank. Selling an older house can always be a challenge and there will always be tons of curveballs and questions along the way. The communication was above and beyond anything I could have hoped for! He handled all the challenges with grace and enthusiasm. His knowledge of the area as well as his understanding of the market made him the perfect person to work with. Selling a house can usually be a very difficult and sensitive step in a family's history and I was able to rest easy during it all knowing that all the details and difficulties were being thought of daily by Frank. He also helped suggest services to help move things along during the process (cleanouts/donations/etc). Couldn't recommend him any more!”
“My experience with Raphaela was amazing . She was very helpful communicative and knowledgeable, when it came to finding my apartment. I highly recommend her to help you find your home.”
“Jessenia is amazing as a realtor, a lender and a person! Very kind, empathetic, responsive, always keeping me up to date in the entire process and explaining anything I needed. We had a few bumps along the way in the process, but these things that are out of our control happen, and she still made sure we made it to closing and that everything was taken care of. Thank you soooo much Jessenia!”
“Andrea and her team were amazing. They truly took our concerns seriously and made sure we were connected with the right people whenever we needed answers or assistance. They were informative, responsive, and made everything we needed to know clear throughout the process. We were also constantly kept updated on what was going on, which gave us peace of mind and made the entire experience feel much more manageable. We are incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a team that genuinely cares about its clients.”
“Amazing realtor!! Jacky helped us find our dreamed house in Hopatcong, NJ!! She is a kind, sweet and responsible person. She always went beyond to ensure that our request and desires were met. Jacky responds quickly to messages and calls and is always there when needed. She is also a great mediator between the different parties during the home purchase process due to her excellent communication skills. Picking her was the best decision, my family and I are beyond grateful for everything she did for us . Words are not enough.”

We felt that his knowledge and expertise played a big part in achieving such a quick and successful sale. Most importantly, he was honest, transparent, and professional throughout the entire process, which gave us complete confidence and peace of mind. We are extremely grateful for all of his hard work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! He truly went above and beyond to provide a great experience! Thank you, Michael! Michael and Zenny Bergendorff”
“Allie helped me assist my aging parents in selling their home, which they built decades ago. Because of the attachment it felt like an impossible goal to me for many years. I genuinely believe we could not have done this successfully with a different agent. Allie had the right combination of all the characteristics we needed to help my parents trust the process and move forward. Many agents are knowledgeable and experienced - that should be a baseline expectation when choosing a someone. However, it’s hard to find someone who also brings cultural sensitivity, integrity, and interpersonal skills on top of her wealth of insight. She knew exactly how to talk to them despite the language barrier, hold their dignity through a vulnerable journey, validate big emotions, support their wishes with each step, all while expeditiously moving things along when they needed to be done. She was always available around the clock and very responsive to all issues and questions that arose as they inevitably do. Some agents are very good, but some are truly called to this profession. I’m so grateful that we had Allie by our side during this incredibly challenging season. Highly recommend!”
“After living in my home for 22 years, choosing the right realtor mattered. Ivette handled everything with a level of pace and detail that immediately put me at ease. The listing, photos, drone footage wee exceptional and showcased my home beautifully. From prep to closing, the entire process took about 6 weeks and she guided me through every step with professionalism and care. I have gratitude for the partnering as each seller has unique needs and desires - all of which she matched. Thank you Ivette for the guidance, encouragement and also emotional support provided during the way. Highly recommend Ivette if you are serious about selling and wanting rigor around speed, all while obtaining appropriate market value.”
