What is the median home price in Hardyston Township, NJ?
The median sale price for a single-family home is $542,500. That's based on sales closed in the last 90 days.
Last quarter, the median was $495,000. In the older 6-month window, it was $465,000. That's about a 17% jump in less than a year. The median list price of sold homes was $535,000. Hardyston is a small market, with 30 sales this quarter. So one or two big sales can move the median. Still, the trend has gone up in all three windows.

Is Hardyston Township still a seller's market?
Yes. A seller's market is when there are more buyers than homes for sale.
Agents often use months of supply to measure this. Under 6 months of supply usually means a seller's market. Hardyston closed 30 sales in 90 days, or about 10 a month. With 29 active listings, that's about 2.9 months of supply. Last quarter, it was closer to 3.9 months, since fewer homes sold. So the market's still tight, even with more listings.

Are homes in Hardyston selling over asking price?
No, not by much. Homes sold for a median of 100% of list price.
That number has held steady all year. On a $550,000 list price, buyers are paying about full price. You won't see big bidding wars right now. But you won't see big discounts either. Homes that are priced right are getting their price.

How fast are homes selling in Hardyston Township?
The median home sold in 50 days. That's up from 29 days last quarter.
That's the biggest change in this report. Earlier in the year, the median was just 24 days. Now it's about 7 weeks. Buyers are taking their time and comparing homes. For sellers, that means patience and a smart price matter more than they did in the spring.

What is it like to live in Hardyston Township?
Hardyston mixes lake living, resort living, and quiet country roads.
Lake communities include Lake Stockholm, Summit Lake, Silver Lake, and part of Beaver Lake. Crystal Springs Resort and Ballyowen Golf Club bring golf, dining, and a spa close to home. Routes 23 and 94 are the main roads, which helps with commutes east. Kids attend Hardyston Township schools through 8th grade. Then they go to Wallkill Valley Regional High School. Many homes, especially near the lakes, run on well and septic instead of public water and sewer.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?
Buyers have more room to breathe. Sellers still get strong prices, but they need to price smart.
If you're buying, you can compare homes instead of rushing. Get pre-approved first, so you're ready when the right home shows up. Don't skip the well and septic inspections. If you're selling, price it right from day one. Overpriced homes will sit while buyers look at the other 28 options. Many buyers are coming from Bergen, Essex, and Passaic counties for more space. Show off what they want: the lake, the yard, and the quiet.
