“There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am to Peggy. Selling my uncle’s home was my first real estate transaction, and I had no idea where to begin. On top of that, I live in New York, making it difficult to travel back and forth to New Jersey to handle everything. Peggy was there every step of the way. She patiently answered every question, explained the process clearly, never made me feel pressured, and went above and beyond to help with countless details I couldn’t manage myself. What could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience became manageable because of her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. I always felt she had my best interests at heart. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor, and I will always be grateful for everything she did. I recommend Peggy wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their clients.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Year-over-year, South River’s rolling three-month typical home value has eased, while prices are still higher than they were a few years ago. The typical home value now sits around $520,000, down from both last summer and late 2025, suggesting some price moderation even as demand persists.
Sales activity has strengthened compared with a year ago in this rolling three-month view, with homes sold and pending sales both rising sharply. At the same time, active listings and new listings are up significantly year-over-year, giving buyers more options than they had last summer.
Current conditions show homes spending a median of about 80 days on the market, much longer than a year earlier, yet more than half of recent sales still closed above list price with an average sale-to-list ratio above 103 percent. With roughly 4.8 months of supply and a seller’s market designation, South River remains tilted toward sellers but is offering more breathing room for buyers than in prior periods, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

“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!”
“Brigita just simple "Excellent ". I have find my dream home through her. Excellent deal breaker , hardworking, excellent communication skills she have . We just loved her being our realtor. She make sure as a buyer we can buy our house smoothly. She made it happen . It was a great experience.”

“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.”
“Highly recommended Sarah Picarello.”
“Allie is the best realtor. She found and made sure I got my dream house. You will not be disappointed! She is personable, pleasant, easy to reach, answers any questions you have, is on top of every step.....no need to go on....I think you got my point....she's fantastic!”
“It was a pleasure to deal with Joan Bostonian. She was professional and diligent! ”
“I believe Chris Ryan performed his job in a very professional manner, taking the concerns of this sellers to heart in most cases. He seems truly to have our best interests in mind when making the marketing decisions he did. His reports were timely, and informative. I would recommend his services to others. Paul F Hallbauer”
