Clifton, NJ single family home market showing signs of appreciation

That means that the number of homes sold varies based on the effects of weather and school calendars. Typically we see fluctuation in both the number of homes to sell and the prices at which they sell based on the time of year in most of the core housing markets in the area.

Taking that into account, it appears very clear that market conditions are much more robust in many of the core markets in the state.
