Recorded home market data for New Jersey

Across the 32 New Jersey cities we cover, the median of the typical home values was $576,915 in July 2026. The spread inside the state is wide: the typical home in Camden was $146,599 and in Princeton it was $979,905, which is why the page for your own city is the one worth reading.

Of the 21 New Jersey cities with data, 1 saw homes go under contract in 15 days or fewer and 7 took 31 days or more, in July 2026. These historical medians exclude the time from contract to closing and do not establish your sale's timetable.

Values are mostly rising: 27 of the 32 New Jersey cities with a year-over-year figure went up, 5 went down. This historical index comparison does not determine which selling option suits your property.

Figures come from Zillow's public research data and describe whole cities, not individual houses.

Where to start: closing in New Jersey

A customary closing role does not establish whether an attorney is required for your sale. Confirm who may handle settlement and which tasks need legal advice with a licensed local professional. The practical points to discuss:

• Northern New Jersey closes through attorneys and southern New Jersey mostly through title companies; attorney review of the contract is standard everywhere.
• The realty transfer fee is paid by the seller and is a real line on the settlement statement.
• Non-resident sellers pay an estimated income tax at closing, widely called the exit tax, unless they qualify for an exemption.
• Many municipalities require a certificate of occupancy or a smoke detector certificate before a resale can close, and it is the seller who obtains it.
• A property condition disclosure statement is standard and known defects must be disclosed.
