What is the median home price in Fredon and Stillwater, NJ right now?
The median sale price for a single-family home is $515,000. That covers sales in both townships over the last 90 days.
This summer, the median hit $552,500. That number came from just 18 sales, so a few pricier homes could swing it. Here's the tell: asking prices didn't drop this fall. The median list price of homes that sold rose from $491,250 to $514,000. In the fall and winter window, the median sale price was only $415,000. So values are up about 24% from that point.

Is it still a seller's market in Fredon and Stillwater?
Yes. A seller's market is when there are more buyers than homes for sale.
Months of supply is a common way to measure it. Under six months usually means a seller's market. With 24 listings and about 8 sales a month, that's about 3.1 months of supply. The median home sold in 22 days, the same as last quarter. In the fall and winter window, it took 32 days. So homes are moving about 10 days faster than last winter.

What's it like to live in Fredon and Stillwater Townships?
Both towns are quiet, rural, and full of open space. They also share a lot of history.
Fredon became its own township in 1904, the youngest in Sussex County. It was formed from parts of Andover, Green, Hampton, and Stillwater. Fredon has about 3,235 residents, and its center sits along Route 94. Stillwater dates back to 1824 and has about 4,004 residents. It's home to Swartswood Lake and Paulins Kill Lake. Swartswood State Park opened in 1914 as New Jersey's first state park. Fredon also has a stretch of the Paulinskill Valley Trail for walking and biking.
Kids go to their own town's school through 6th grade. Then both towns send students to Kittatinny Regional High School in Hampton. Most homes out here run on private well and septic, not town water and sewer.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?
Buyers have a few more choices. Sellers still have strong prices if they price it right.
If you're buying, you've got 24 homes to look at, up from just 9 last winter. Get pre-approved first, since good homes still go in about three weeks. Plan for well and septic inspections, and ask how old the septic system is. If you're selling, buyers are still paying about $12,800 over on a $500,000 home. But they have more homes to compare now. A fair price from day one gets you the best shot at multiple offers. Show off what people come here for: the land, the lakes, and the quiet.
