Fourteen closings is more than half the 26 recorded across January, February and March combined. Thirty new listings is close to the 38 taken across those same three months.
Nine of fourteen
The share of sales closing at or over asking price is the cleanest read on competition in a month, because it does not depend on the price mix. In April, nine of fourteen did it. In the three prior months the counts were three of seven, five of ten and four of nine.
The average percent of ask, 101.0, is lower than March's 104.5. Those two facts sit together without conflict. March produced a small number of sales that went well over list and enough below list sales to leave only four of nine at or above it. April produced a broader group clustered near asking price, with more than half of them at or above it and none of them, on the evidence of the average, going far enough over to lift the mean past 101.
Broad and near ask is a different market condition than narrow and far over ask, even when the headline percentages look similar.
The median and the average nearly met
Median $1,125,000. Average $1,147,343. The gap is $22,343.
In Warren that is unusual. The month ran from a $475,000 low to a $2,400,000 high, which is a spread of $1,925,000, and the sales still distributed evenly enough that the midpoint and the mean landed within about two percent of each other. March, by contrast, put $339,005 between them.
When those two numbers sit close, either one describes the month fairly. When they diverge, the median describes the typical sale and the average describes the total dollars that moved.
April's closings had a median of $1,125,000. April's 30 new listings carried a median original ask of $999,000, the lowest of the year so far. That is an inversion of February, where the incoming asks ran $555,697 above the month's closings. It is not evidence that sellers are cutting. It is a different set of houses. A larger listing month pulls in more of the middle of the township's housing stock, and the middle asks less than the top.
Speed
Median days on market was 23, down from 78 in March and up from 18 in February. Twenty three days puts April near the fast end of the year to date.
Days on market counts the interval before a listing went under contract. It says nothing about how the negotiation went, which is why it is worth reading beside the nine of fourteen count rather than in place of it. April was both quick and competitive, which is not automatic. March was slow and, on the average, strong. February was quick and close to ask.
Price per square foot
Median price per square foot in April was $398, computed on ten of the fourteen closings, which is 71 percent coverage.
The four months so far read $385, $407, $512 and $398, on coverage of 57, 70, 67 and 71 percent. That is a range of $127 inside four months. Treat the series as noisy. It is not measuring a monthly move in value, and I would not use any one month of it in a pricing conversation.
These figures cover every residential property type in the MLS, including townhouses and condominiums, not detached houses alone. Attached product sells below detached in Warren, so a detached only median would run higher.
All figures come from GSMLS closed sale and listing records for Warren Township, Somerset County, filtered to exclude superseded listing records. This recap was compiled for the archive from a warehouse pull dated August 18, 2026. Warren Township is in Somerset County and is not Warren County. The 2024 monthly record was added to the source after this recap was first drafted. April 2024 closed 12 homes at a $975,000 median, 13 days on market and 101.4 percent of ask. The 2024 series carries closings, median price, days on market and percent of ask only, and its counts come from a slightly different superseded filter, so treat the comparison as directional rather than exact. Days on market reflects the current listing only. Percent of ask compares the sale price to the list price in effect at contract, not to the original asking price. Sales that never went through the MLS do not appear.
Figures are deemed reliable but are not warranted. Nothing here is a valuation of any particular property.
