Housing Market
Gloucester County homes sell in 20 days — the fastest in South NJ — at 103.5% of asking. Woolwich Township alone has added 5,000+ homes in a decade as builders meet insatiable family demand for new construction under $500K with good schools. Washington Township and Harrison Township provide the county's established premium at $400-500K. The county's price-to-income ratio ($340K homes on $89K income) makes it one of the most affordable homeownership markets in the Northeast.
