Buyers
With buyer demand still strong and home values holding steady, Union County remains one of New Jersey’s most attractive places to list in 2025. The region’s blend of commuter access, desirable school districts, and diverse housing stock continues to attract a wide range of motivated buyers.
If you're asking:
Is now a good time to sell in Union County, NJ?
What’s the average sale price in my town?
What features are buyers prioritizing in 2025?
This seller-focused guide covers it all so you can price and prep your home strategically.
As of mid-2025, the median home sale price in Union County is approximately $610,000. That puts it in a strong position compared to nearby counties and reflects steady appreciation year-over-year. In towns like Westfield, Cranford, and Summit, homes regularly sell for $800,000 or more, while Elizabeth, Rahway, and Linden see high demand for properties in the $450,000–$650,000 range.
The takeaway: well-priced, well-presented homes in Union County are still moving quickly and attracting multiple offers.
Union County benefits from strong transportation infrastructure, diverse housing inventory, and ongoing migration from NYC. Homes near train stations (like in Cranford, Rahway, or Roselle Park) continue to draw hybrid and full-time commuters. Meanwhile, family-friendly towns with strong school systems are seeing increased competition among buyers.
This balance of urban access and suburban appeal creates a high-demand environment that benefits sellers with the right listing strategy.
Rahway & Linden: Increasing new development and demand from first-time buyers
Cranford & Westfield: Consistent bidding activity and low days on market
Elizabeth & Hillside: High rental demand supports strong resale value for multi-family homes
Sellers in these towns benefit from a broad buyer pool, whether targeting commuters, investors, or move-up families.
Property taxes in Union County average around 2.1% in 2025. While taxes vary by town, pricing your home with total cost of ownership in mind can make your listing more attractive.
Westfield and Summit typically carry higher tax bills due to property values
Rahway, Elizabeth, and Roselle offer more balanced tax-to-price ratios, appealing to budget-conscious buyers
A well-informed pricing strategy should factor taxes into how buyers perceive monthly affordability.
Current trends show buyers are prioritizing:
Homes with updated kitchens and baths
Flexible layouts with space for remote work
Proximity to downtowns, parks, and NJ Transit stations
If your home checks these boxes, staging and highlighting these features will help you maximize ROI.
If you’re thinking of making a move this year, Union County presents a strong selling environment. Between steady price growth, ongoing buyer demand, and access to major transit lines, sellers are still positioned for success—especially with the right guidance.
