East Brunswick, NJ – March 10, 2026 – Inventory sits just over 100 homes with median list prices in the low $600Ks as a small subdivision moves through review.
East Brunswick Housing Market Update
The local market remains competitive but is showing signs of steadier pacing compared with the frenzy of recent years.
Top takeaways
- About 100+ homes are actively listed, signaling modestly improved choice for buyers.
- Median list price is roughly $627K, with homes averaging nearly two months on market.
- Sale-to-list ratios are hovering around 100%, reflecting balanced negotiations.
- A small single-family subdivision is moving through Planning Board review.
Market snapshot
There are approximately 103 homes for sale, with a median list price near $627,000 and a median 57 days on market. Price per square foot is around $349, and sellers on average are receiving about their asking price, pointing to stable demand rather than aggressive bidding spikes.
Zillow’s 08816 data shows typical home values around $609K, keeping East Brunswick firmly in the mid-to-upper tier of Middlesex County pricing. Inventory remains limited relative to buyer interest, but selection is broader than mid-winter levels.
What’s for sale
Current listings range from condos in the low-to-mid $300Ks to single-family homes in the $700K–$900K range. Recent examples include:
- Two-bedroom condos priced around $330K–$380K.
- Three- to four-bedroom colonials between roughly $540K and $730K.
- Larger updated homes approaching $900K.
This spread continues to attract both first-time buyers targeting attached homes and move-up buyers seeking larger properties with yard space.
Development watch
The Township Planning Board recently listed an application tied to 476 Riva Avenue involving a small subdivision of single-family homes and a stormwater basin. While modest in scale, projects like this add incremental supply in a town where buildable land is limited.
