Housing Market
Hunterdon is a scarcity market by design. With 44% of the county permanently preserved as farmland, new development is structurally limited. Single-family homes have appreciated 6.9% year over year, and the sale-to-list ratio of 101.9% shows consistent above-asking purchases. The market splits cleanly: walkable towns like Clinton and Flemington command premiums for convenience, while estate properties in Tewksbury and Readington sell on acreage and privacy. The equestrian market is a niche-within-a-niche that attracts buyers from a 200-mile radius.
