If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in Hillsborough, understanding the current market is the first step toward making a smart decision. Based on approximately 500 MLS listings from July 2025 through July 2026, the Hillsborough housing market continues to show impressive strength despite higher mortgage interest rates.

A Strong Market with Steady Demand

Over the past year, 348 homes sold, representing nearly 70% of all residential listings. Well-priced homes continue to attract strong buyer interest, and many are selling quickly.

Some key market highlights include:

• Median Sale Price: $510,000
• Average Sale Price: $562,244
• Median Days on Market: 20 days
• Average Sale-to-List Price Ratio:12%

Perhaps the most telling statistic is that the average home sold for more than its asking price, demonstrating that buyers are still willing to compete for desirable homes.

What This Means for Sellers

If you’re considering selling your home, today’s market continues to work in your favor. Limited inventory and consistent buyer demand are helping well-prepared homes sell quickly—and often with multiple offers.

However, pricing remains critical. Buyers have become more selective, and homes that are priced too aggressively are spending more time on the market. Professional marketing, high-quality photography, and an accurate pricing strategy are more important than ever.

What This Means for Buyers

While mortgage rates remain higher than they were a few years ago, demand in Hillsborough has remained resilient. Inventory under $600,000 continues to be limited, creating competition for move-in-ready homes in that price range.

Buyers should be prepared with a mortgage pre-approval and be ready to act quickly when the right property becomes available. At the same time, homes that have been on the market for several weeks—particularly in the higher price ranges—may offer opportunities for negotiation.

Looking Ahead

Hillsborough continues to be one of Central New Jersey’s most desirable communities thanks to its highly rated schools, convenient commuter access, beautiful parks, and strong sense of community.

Unless inventory increases significantly, we expect the local market to remain stable through the remainder of 2026, with home values supported by steady demand and limited supply.
