Big bucks: Cities with the most expensive homes in New Jersey

You don't need me to tell you how expensive things are in the great Garden State, and that certainly includes housing.

New Jersey's average home value

According to Zillow, the average home value in New Jersey is around $540,000, which is up 8% over the past year.

And if you are buying or selling a home, they found it goes from being listed for sale to pending in around 23 days. In other words, if you see a house that you really want, you need to pounce on it and assume there will be a bidding war.

Of course, that $540,000 number is an average. It's extremely easy to find a house for sale here that exceeds that number, in some cases by several multiples.
