Welcome to the Spring 2026 Market Guide!

In this episode, Josh breaks down what’s actually happening across five key Central New Jersey towns — Princeton, West Windsor, Lawrenceville, Robbinsville, and Montgomery — as we head into the Spring 2026 housing market.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or relocating, this guide helps you understand what’s driving prices, competition, inventory, days on market, and buyer behavior right now.

🌟 What We Cover in This Market Guide

- Which towns are hottest this spring

- Where inventory is finally loosening

- Where buyers still have leverage

- Why some sellers are struggling to get offers

- How staging + pricing affects results

- What relocators need to know for 2026

- Spring timing strategy for sellers

📍 Featured Towns

➡ Princeton, NJ

➡ West Windsor, NJ

➡ Lawrenceville, NJ

➡ Robbinsville, NJ

➡ Montgomery, NJ

Each town has its own micro-market, and this breakdown shows why they don’t all behave the same — even when the headlines say they do.

🏡 For Relocators & Local Sellers

We’re still seeing strong inbound demand from:

✔ NYC Metro

✔ Philly Metro

✔ Out-of-state job relocations

✔ Families focused on schools & lifestyle

✔ Upsizers & downsizers adjusting equity

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Central New Jersey, understanding the micro-market matters more than ever this year.
