ZIP 08822 (Flemington area, New Jersey) is showing a late-winter mix of steady pricing and limited choices for buyers. Year-over-year comparisons can look different depending on the month and data set you’re viewing.
Top takeaways
- Redfin’s January 2026 view puts the median sale price around $562,500 (slightly down year over year) with homes selling in the mid-20s days.
- Sales volume looks lighter: Redfin shows 52 homes sold in January vs. 78 a year ago, which can make monthly stats swing.
- Listing-side metrics still suggest tight supply and pricey rentals: Realtor.com shows roughly 71 active listings (December 2025) and a median rent near $2,500/month.
Market snapshot
Prices: Redfin’s ZIP-level housing market page shows a January 2026 median sale price of $562,500 and a median $/sq ft of about $291 (up year over year). Realtor.com’s ZIP dashboard, using December 2025 data, shows a higher median home price figure ($592,500). Differences like this often come from the mix of homes sold/listed changing month to month (more condos vs. more single-family, more higher-end homes, etc.).
Speed: Redfin reports an average time to sell of about 24 days in January. Realtor.com’s dashboard shows a longer 44-day figure for its December view, so it’s worth checking your neighborhood and price band before drawing conclusions.
Mortgage-rate reality check
Affordability still hinges on financing, so many buyers are staying conservative on offers, asking for repair credits, or widening the search radius when payments feel tight.
Development & permitting watch
To anticipate future supply (new lots, small subdivisions, or multifamily proposals), keep an eye on planning board and zoning agendas for Flemington Borough and nearby townships.
Rentals watch
Realtor.com is currently showing a median rent around $2,500/month and about 35 rental listings tracked for the ZIP. For renters, that usually means acting quickly on well-kept units and asking early about lease terms and utilities.
What’s for sale right now (no addresses)
Zillow’s current 08822 search results show a relatively small set of active listings, including a mix of mid-$500K single-family options and higher-end homes pushing past $1M. A few practical ways locals are shopping this week:
- Move-in ready vs. fixer: inspection contingencies and contractor availability matter if you’re buying something dated.
- Townhome/condo math: compare HOA fees against your payment and insurance costs.
- Price-cut monitoring: in a thin-inventory ZIP, the best signal is often new listings and reductions, not the monthly median.
