Information and statistics on the latest trends in the South River real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Year-over-year trends in South River point to strong price growth, with the typical home value up 21.18% to about $572,500, far outpacing Middlesex County’s roughly $535,000 and flat growth. At the same time, inventory has climbed 42.11% over the past year to 27 homes, and pending sales are down 20%, signaling more options and softer demand than before.
In the latest data for February 2026, buyers are seeing a market tilted in their favor, reflected in a buyer's market gauge of 68 and months of supply at 3.4. Homes are taking longer to sell at a median of 77 days on market, nearly doubling year over year with a 97.44% increase, while about 50% of sales still close slightly above asking with an average sale-to-list ratio of roughly 1.0007.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical home values are projected to edge higher to around $601,250, but the projected median list price is expected to dip to $295,000 with inventory easing slightly to 25 homes. With only 3 new listings in the latest month and 7.41% of sellers cutting prices, conditions can feel nuanced for both sides, so buyers and sellers can both benefit from Agent Pronto helping them find an agent who understands these dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Geeta Manek was great! I had a pleasant home buying experience.”
“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.”
