The Township of Cranford is nearly 5 square miles located exactly in the middle of Union County.First incorporated as a town in 1871, Cranford is still a thriving and growing community.  In the late 1800's through the first few decades of the 1900's, Cranford was a resort destination.  With railroad access to and from New York City, many wealthy city dwellers would spend summers in Cranford, enjoying the warm days along the Rahway River.  Many of the early residents of Cranford were wealthy commuters that worked in New York City.  Today, commuting into New York City is easy from Cranford with several bus routes as well as trains running to Newark-Penn all day and New York-Penn during non-peak hours.Today the town has a population of just over 22,000.  It is home to main campus of Union ...

When I first got into Real Estate, 9 short years ago, I sent friend requests on Facebook to anyone who graduated from my high school (and, yes, that is my high school yearbook photo).  I searched for graduates from 15 years before I graduated  (to cover my siblings's friends) to 10 years after I graduated and added several hundred new friends to my personal Facebook account, all with ties to Cranford where we do a lot of business and all with friends with ties to the town. For years, I posted real estate articles on Facebook, mixed with my personal musings, usually about music or astronomy.  Eventually, we joined Active Rain and learned how to write market reports and started posting them to Facebook.  People in Cranford started to recognize us as the people who know Cranford's real est...

Cranford is home to about 23,000 people in Union County. Here's what you need to know if you are a homeowner or want to be a homeowner in Cranford.Inventory: There are currently 95 single family homes offered for sale in Cranford. This is slightly below the 12 month average of 97 homes but significantly lower than the 138 homes that were in the inventory at this time last year. With fewer homes to choose from, the principles of supply and demand predict that prices will rise.There were 14 homes sold in May which is a relatively slow month compared to the 20 homes sold on average each month for the past year and compared to the 30 homes that were sold in May of 2015. Slower home sales should correct the unusually low inventory. Price: The average home that sold in Cranford in May was sol...

The Cranford, NJ, Real Estate Market Report for First Quarter, 2015 Winter is the slowest time in Union County Real Estate. Not only do homes take longer than average to sell in the winter, they also sell for less in the winter than they do the rest of the year. But don’t think for even one moment that Cranford’s real estate market is dead in the winter! This winter, Cranford had 94 active listings and 34 sold listings. The average sale price this winter was $403,299 with the average home selling after 69 days. How does the winter of 2014-15 compare with previous years? Fewer homes were sold this winter (34) than last winter (42).   Inventory is higher this year (94 listings) than last year (81). The average sale price in the first quarter of 2015 was $403,299 compared with an average s...
