The gubernatorial showdown in New Jersey finally came to an end on Nov. 4 , with residents electing Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D) to the office over former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli (R).

It was a closely watched race nationwide, and while electing either candidate would’ve meant change for the Garden State, Gov.-elect Sherill made plenty of housing promises in her campaign that her constituents are hoping she will live up to now that she has the office.

Back in February, the state earned a C- on the Realtor.com® State-by-State Housing Report Card, signaling a tough mix of high costs and limited construction in the area.

Yet homes remain in high demand across the state. Cities like Wayne and Marlton landed on the Realtor.com Hottest ZIP Codes in America for 2025.
