Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Union County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Union County is currently classified as a seller’s market, with a market gauge reading of 40 indicating sellers still have the upper hand. With months of supply at 2.9 locally versus 3.5 statewide, inventory is tighter here than in New Jersey overall, helping support prices even as conditions ease slightly.
Behind that seller-leaning balance, several listing and pricing trends stand out. Active listings have climbed nearly 15 percent over the past year and new listings are up about 8 percent, yet the typical home value is still about 3 percent higher than a year ago and list prices are also trending up, signaling steady demand.
Buyer activity has cooled somewhat, which is giving shoppers a bit more breathing room without flipping the market. Homes sold and pending sales are both down a few percent year over year, and the share of properties selling above list price has slipped to about 58 percent even though the average sale-to-list ratio still hovers just above 102 percent, so Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers find an agent who understands how to navigate these shifting dynamics.
Union County offers residents a vibrant mix of green spaces, cultural attractions, strong schools, convenient transit, and a welcoming, practical community.
Union County offers quick access to New York City, Newark, and the broader region while maintaining distinct, well-established communities. From commuter hubs like Elizabeth and Union Township to quieter pockets in Cranford and Westfield, the county balances urban convenience with residential comfort.
Daily life is shaped by strong transit and road connections. NJ Transit service from stations in Rahway and Linden links directly to Manhattan, and many neighborhoods are a short drive to Newark Liberty International Airport. Residents enjoy a wide range of parks and recreation through the Union County Parks system, including Watchung Reservation for hiking, horseback riding, and picnic areas.
Local amenities support an easy, practical lifestyle. Cultural venues such as Kean University’s Premiere Stages bring performing arts close to home, while destinations like The Mills at Jersey Gardens offer extensive shopping and dining. Families value access to public libraries, including the Elizabeth Public Library, youth sports, and community events hosted throughout the county.
Whether you are relocating for work, upsizing, downsizing, or exploring investment options, Union County’s variety of housing types and neighborhoods can feel complex to navigate.

“On top of every detail. Julia was professional in every way and a delight to work with. She made sure every detail throughout the process was taken care of in a timely manner. She saved us money by discovering an expense that we should not have to pay. We’ve bought and sold many homes over the years and Julia was one of the best we’ve ever worked with.”
“I will be forever grateful to Catherine and Maria for all they did for me . It was a process selling my house for sure . But they somehow managed to tackle every single issue that came our way . And they did it flawlessly. I wouldn’t have been able to get through this without them . Both of them are so trustworthy and caring, that’s hard to find sometimes . They were so easy to get it touch with too . They took the stress off my plate and I couldn’t be more thankful. I will be using them again to purchase a house . Thank you guys for everything!!”
“I can honestly say that I don’t know if we would have been able to purchase a home in the SoMa area without Sara’s help. Her knowledge of the market is unmatched and she really goes to bat for her clients. Highly recommend working with her - you won’t regret it!”
“I’m so glad I worked with Mehek to find tenants for my home. She was on top of things from the start and walked me through every step, so I never felt like I had to figure things out on my own. I really appreciated how organized she was and the care she took with all the paperwork. Everything moved quickly without feeling rushed, and she kept me updated along the way. Thank you for making the whole process so much easier! I’d happily recommend her”
“We had the pleasure of working with Simi for six months to find our home, and we could not have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable, proactive, and truly devoted to her clients' best interests. Throughout our entire search, her professionalism and grace under pressure were remarkable. If you are looking for a dedicated realtor who will advocate for you with elegance and expertise, look no further than Simi.”
“Matt was the perfect fit for us when we were ready to sell our parents’ home. Our situation needed a bit more attention and Matt provided much needed guidance. Thank you for everything Matt and you will be on my short list for another home sale!”
“If you want to buy or sell real estate in New Jersey, Anna is the only one you should work with. No other agent compares to her. The way she works, conducts business, and communicates with people, along with her deep knowledge of all the details—it's truly exceptional. I’ve worked with her before, and while I was extremely satisfied then, this time she exceeded all expectations and I am simply so happy to have found such an agent. Other agents just couldn't handle it—with them, you only waste time and feel no support at all. Anna, on the other hand, is always available and on top of everything. Her professionalism and dedication are unmatched. I couldn't be happier!”
“It is with much reverence for Conrad's professional efforts I write the following review. If I am biased, it is solely because of his incredible work and profiency. I can only share what I experienced. As I try to be as conscientious in my review as Conrad was for his thoughtful planning for the future of my family, I believe whoever comes across Conrad's services is truly lucky. Conrad is stubborn: He will do whatever it takes to ensure you have seamless journey. He believes that the best practice for preparing new home-owners is telling you exactly what to expect and thorough consultancy. He comes prepared with scenarios, planning sheets, toolkits, and expert dialogue. If you are someone who does not like to learn what you're getting yourself into when buying, selling, or investing in a property, please do not waste his time. His knowledge is valuable and wisdom is in good judgement. During our first consultation for home-buying, Conrad walked us through the costs, risks, benefits, and potential pitfalls of buying a home, helping us understand what to expect as first-time homebuyers. I had zero background in real estate and I can barely remember what I did last Tuesday. But Conrad was attentive to our needs and was able to diligently breakdown terms and realty jargon in a way my family and I could understand. During pre-closing and closing, Conrad displayed the communicative ability to keep all parties involved, well-informed. There was never any point where I was confused because he ensures there are constant yet gentle status updates. There's more I can say but I don't want to lose readers' attention or reach character limit. My little family and I successfully closed on the house of our dreams and expectations in 2026, thanks to RightWay Realty Group. Conrad is truly the best in the business and it's not just me saying this. It's also title companies, sellers, other clients, attornies, and everyone in-between. If you are considering Conrad for his services, you will be in good hands. He goes above and beyond. I highly recommend.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“We had a phenomenal experience working with Jake throughout our home buying process. As a Morris County New Jersey real estate agent, he is extremely knowledge of the area. What separates Jake from most is he took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a home and was extremely patient with us until we found the right one. Additionally – he was always willing to go the extra mile for anything we needed or just answering general questions we had on the home buying process. In today’s market, working with a great agent is critical to getting the home you want, 10/10 experience and would recommend Jake to anyone!”
“I had the pleasure of working with this amazing realtor over the past six years, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She helped me purchase my home in Morris County, and throughout the entire process, she demonstrated outstanding professionalism, knowledge, patience, and dedication. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions in life, and having someone you can trust makes all the difference. She was always responsive, attentive to my needs, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. Her knowledge of the local real estate market, attention to detail, and commitment to finding the right home made the entire experience much less stressful. What truly sets her apart is the trust and relationship she has built over the years. Working with her for six years speaks volumes about her reliability, integrity, and genuine care for her clients. She doesn’t just help you buy a house; she helps you find a place to call home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Morris County or the surrounding areas. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated realtor who truly puts her clients first, she is the person to call. Thank you for all your hard work and support over the years! Five stars without a doubt!”
“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Diana! She helped us both buy our new home and sell our previous home, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose her! Throughout both processes, Diana was always so sweet, patient, and cool, calm, and collected (even when we weren’t!). She constantly checked in to ask what was worrying us, how we were feeling, and what she could do to help ease our minds. She was incredibly responsive and communicative, whether it was answering our late-night texts, early-morning questions, or helping us navigate any requests or concerns that came up. She always made us feel like we were a priority and never made us feel like we were asking too much. After losing out on three other homes for various reasons before working with Diana, we were feeling pretty discouraged. But she made such a difference in our experience. Her patience, reassurance, and willingness to go above and beyond meant so much to us. Buying and selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but having Diana by our side made everything feel so much more manageable. We are beyond grateful for her and so happy to be in our new home! We would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you, Diana, for everything!”
“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.”
“I could not have made a better decision than entrusting Cynthia with the sale of my family’s house following my mother’s passing. Cynthia's knowledge of the market, thoroughness and go-to-market strategies proved vital in helping us secure the best offer possible for our family’s home. Cynthia was actively involved throughout the process, going above and beyond to meet our needs at every step of the way. She kept in constant communication to make sure things stayed on track taking the necessary time to explain the process and our options at each stage. Plus she also proved to be highly resourceful, finding answers or contacts for whatever situation arose. Cynthia delivered an outcome that surpassed my family's expectations. Not just exceeding our expected sales price, but also with the care and attention that our family needed during that difficult time.”
“I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for my real estate agent, Emily. Buying a house is not an easy journey, and my journey to owning home came with so many challenges, unexpected obstacles, and moments when I felt like giving up. But through it all, Emily never stopped fighting for me. She stood by my side, pushed when things got difficult, and continued to advocate for me when I needed someone in my corner. Emily, you didn’t just help me find a house; you helped me fight for a dream. You saw how much this meant to me, and you gave me encouragement and support when I needed it most. Your dedication, patience, and determination mean more to me than words can explain. I know this journey wasn’t easy, but I’m truly grateful that I had you by my side. Not every real estate agent goes above and beyond the way you did, and I will never forget the effort you put into helping me get to this point. Thank you, Emily, for fighting for me, believing in my dream, and helping me get closer to turning a house into a home. You will always be a special part of my homeownership journey. May God bless you for the heart you put into your work and for the difference you make in people’s lives.”
“Roxanne Briano handled the purchase and sale of this property. Roxanne was very responsive to our every need and used her professional skill set to come up with a marketing plan which she ultimately executed to perfection. I would highly recommend any buyer or seller to work with Roxanne in the future.”
“Vesna was wonderful. She did an amazing job. She is a world class professional. No excuses just results. Long story short God bless me with her. She is simply a legend. Hands-down the best. My words could express how instrumental she was in selling my property. Thank you Vesna!”
“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!”
