Princeton Real Estate Market Update

• Jim Weichert called the bottom of the market today, 6/30/09, specifically in the affordable price ranges. • The market continues to improve with absorption rates lower, inventory lower and contracts higher in practically every municipality in Mercer County. • Princeton Township has higher inventory than last year and is one of the few towns that we need to watch for continued oversupply, specifically in the $1,000,000+ market. • Princeton Boro has heated up though not in the higher price ranges and will continue to stay desirable. • Overall good momentum in the markets though everyone continues to hold their breath as the broader economy struggles to improve. • As we approach the fall months you will watch the reports come in that housing is beating last year in every category. • There will be pockets nationally that will continue to drag the broader RE indexes lower though we are in for recovery.
