This week’s headline

We are still seeing a clear Montville housing supply shortage. Inventory remains limited across single family homes and townhomes, and that shortage is shaping pricing and negotiating leverage.

Fast local snapshot

• City: Montville Township, NJ
• Primary sub markets: 07045, 07082, 07058
• Inventory gap: Montville housing supply shortage (limited single family and townhome inventory)
• Measured gap: 0.94 months of supply
• Observed premium: about +5% list to sold premium (well-positioned homes)

If you are a homeowner thinking about selling in the next 30 to 90 days, this is the type of environment where preparation and pricing strategy matter a lot.

What 0.94 months of supply means in plain English

Months of supply is a simple way to describe how quickly the current inventory could sell if no new homes came on the market. At roughly 0.94 months of supply, Montville is operating in a low inventory environment.

• Buyers feel urgency when the right home appears
• Homes that show well can attract stronger terms
• Pricing correctly creates momentum quickly

Why some sellers see a +5% list to sold premium and others do not

The premium is not automatic. It tends to show up when a home is positioned correctly for the Montville buyer pool and marketed aggressively from day one.

3 levers that usually matter most

1. Condition and presentation: clean, bright, staged or styled, and photo ready
2. Pricing strategy: aligned with current demand in 07045, 07082, and 07058
3. Launch plan: strong photos, clear messaging, and tight showing windows early

Seller action plan for this week

1. Get a realistic pricing range based on recent Montville, Towaco, and Pine Brook sales
2. Choose 3 to 5 improvements with the highest impact (paint, lighting, flooring touch ups, curb appeal)
3. Build a launch plan that creates urgency in the first 7 to 10 days

If you want, I will map this to your exact home, your timeline, and your neighborhood comps.
