“As a disabled combat veteran and first time home buyer there are certain benefits you receive and not every realtor knows about them or can give you insight on how they work. However Peggy knew it all! Peggy was there whatever hour of the day to answer any questions and guide me through this whole process. Working with Peggy made the whole process smooth, engaging, and uplifting. She knew everything there was to know about benefits, the area, the market, and the property itself she truly was very easy and amazing to work with! Peggy treated me as family throughout the whole process giving me advice and guiding me in the right direction to find the perfect home and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I would recommend Peggy to anyone who is trying to take the leap in home buying!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Year-over-year, South River’s rolling three-month data shows softening prices alongside expanded activity. The typical home value is down a bit from last year, while the median list price has dipped modestly as active listings have climbed more than 40 percent.
At the same time, buyer activity has picked up in this rolling period, with homes sold rising by about one-third and pending sales surging nearly 90 percent compared with a year ago. Even with this stronger demand, inventory has grown, pushing months of supply up to roughly eight months and indicating buyers have more options than they did last year.
Looking at how homes are performing, about half of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is still just over 101 percent, suggesting sellers can often achieve close to their asking price. However, homes now spend around 70 days on the market, a steep increase from a year earlier, so both buyers and sellers in South River can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands how to navigate this shifting balance.

“I highly recommend Sharif and Co. The whole team was professional and sold my home quickly and above asking price.”
“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.”
“Highly recommended Sarah Picarello.”

“It was a pleasure to deal with Joan Bostonian. She was professional and diligent! ”
