    Faina,

    Just curious, to what to you attribute the resiliency of the Princeton real estate market? I would be hard pressed to think of another market that has held its value.

  • Faina Sechzer (author) said:

    We had a big drop in inventory, with sellers choosing to hold out and not sell now. Low supply helped keep the prices more stable then in other markets, including those of the neighboring towns. The increase in the average price, of course, does not apply to all properties. Unfortunately, there is no Case-Schiller for Princeton, which is the best way to measure price changes.
    Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog.
