It is worth noting that the stock market has remained in record-high territories. Generally, a rising stock market may result in more discretionary income for future home buyers, but it is hard to prove a direct relationship between the two markets.

Currently, there are 172 active residential listings in Lower Township, ranging in price from $45,000 to $1,890,000. More information is a phone call away.
