The market is gearing back up for the traditionally busy spring season and statewide data for the first quarter of the year shows that a healthy and energetic housing market is likely over the next few months for both buyers and sellers, with many pending sales and new listings in the pipeline

Edison, N.J. - January 28, 2014 - (RealEstateRama) -- The December 2013 housing market report from the New Jersey Association of Realtors shows that over the course of the year, the housing market proved to be strong. In fact, closed sales were at the highest levels since 2005, to 94,671 units, up 18.1 percent. There are still fewer homes to comprise the total state inventory, but new properties came on the market in greater numbers than during 2012, so if that continues, 2014 will see a well-balanced market.
