Here are full year sales figures for the year 2012. The trend is looking positive as we head into the kickoff for the spring market. The number of sales is up in both towns and the number of listings is down (Demand increasing and Supply decreasing). Prices increased slightly in South Orange and are only slightly down in Maplewood.
Local figures are far below and see the link directly below for national projections.
