Top Realtors in New Jersey

New Jersey was known as the ‘Pathway of the Revolution.’ This is because over 100 battles were fought on New Jersey soil as the battlefield. New Jersey was also the first state that signed the Bill of Rights. The State House is the second oldest (second to Maryland) in America and is still functional to this day. When it comes to sports, New Jersey has been one to witness the beginnings of household American sports.

The first organized baseball game was played in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1846. Also, the first ever professional basketball game was played in Trenton, New Jersey in 1896. New Jersey is home to more than 9,800 farms which covers up to around 790,000 acres of farmland. Properties displayed on the American version of the popular board game Monopoly are all named after the streets in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The Real Estate markets in New Jersey have been steadily increasing over the past few years. But luckily, 2018 will see the price growth in the housing market start to finally wind down. Compared to the 5% increase in the past year, the increase in prices for houses this year is predicted to be as low as 1.5%.
