South Jersey Real Estate Market Update – Summer 2025 

As we begin August 2025, the South Jersey real estate market is showing a shift that both buyers and sellers need to pay close attention to. The frenzied pace of the past few years has given way to a more balanced, strategic environment — offering opportunities for those who know where (and how) to look.

From Marlton to Medford, Moorestown to Haddonfield, and Collingswood to Cherry Hill, here’s what you need to know about the summer 2025 market across the key residential segments in South Jersey.

Single Family Homes: Still Competitive, But Cooling Slightly

Single family homes remain the strongest segment in the South Jersey housing market. In high-demand towns like Medford, Haddonfield, and Moorestown, buyer competition is still strong — but we’re seeing a more intentional, thoughtful approach from house hunters.

• Inventory is up, but not dramatically.

• Home prices continue to rise, especially in well-established neighborhoods.

• Affordability is declining, with many buyers weighing lifestyle and commute trade-offs more carefully.

➡️ Pro tip for sellers: Homes that are well-staged and priced right are still moving quickly, particularly in areas like Marlton and Voorhees.

Townhouse & Condo Market: Buyer-Friendly and Expanding

The townhouse and condo market across South Jersey has seen a meaningful increase in listings this summer.

• Prices are softening, creating better conditions for first-time buyers or downsizers.

• Buyer leverage is improving, with more room to negotiate on price or seller concessions.

• Affordability is strongest in this segment, making it ideal for those entering the market.

➡️ Pro tip for buyers: This is your moment to make a move — especially if you're looking in more affordable markets like Gloucester Township or Deptford.

Adult Communities: High Inventory, Longer Sell Times

Communities geared toward 55+ buyers are experiencing the biggest surge in available homes.

• Inventory is rising quickly, giving buyers more options than in past seasons.

• Prices are still appreciating, but homes are taking longer to sell.

• Buyers are price-sensitive, especially those on fixed incomes.

➡️ Pro tip for sellers: Value matters. Position your home competitively with updated features, and be open to negotiations to move your property in this slower-paced segment.

Market Takeaway: Balance Is Coming Back in South Jersey

The extreme seller's market is giving way to a more balanced playing field — with rising inventory, smarter buyers, and a slowing (but still strong) rate of appreciation. Whether you're looking to buy in Collingswood, sell in Moorestown, or invest anywhere in South Jersey, strategy and timing are everything.

✅ For Buyers: This is a great time to re-enter the market with more choices and better negotiating power — especially in the condo/townhome space.

✅ For Sellers: Homes will still sell — especially in towns like Cherry Hill and Haddonfield — but expect buyers to ask more questions, request more concessions, and take their time.
