What's happening in the real estate market September update
Houses for sale in Egg Harbor Township New Jersey
Here’s a quick overview of what’s happening in the real estate market in Egg Harbor Township. Median sold price is down 6% to $190,000. The median for sale price is up 2% and sold properties are down 2%. New properties are down 9% and total inventory is down 19%. 
So even with lower inventories prices are still down overall. My interpretation of these statistics indicate that the foreclosure properties that are still on the market are continuing to pull prices down.
