HILLSBOROUGH, NJ – New Jersey’s housing market is on the uptick and active adults looking to transition from the hassle and responsibility of their large, existing homes to the ease and convenience of a new lifestyle-oriented community are taking full advantage by listing primary residences in the busy sales market.

As a result, neighborhoods geared towards those aged 55 and better with a more maintenance-free environment and wealth of recreational and social amenities are seeing an increase in buyer activity fueled by a large number of purchasers having already sold their primary residence and fully prepared to move into a brand new home as soon as possible.
