Greater Princeton is served by separate districts, including Princeton Public Schools, the West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District (which serves both West Windsor and Plainsboro) and Montgomery Township Schools.

Yes, Charlie Wu of The Wu Team is fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, and a team member is fluent in Japanese, so we serve buyers and sellers in all three languages without an interpreter.

As of November 2026, Princeton is a balanced market by months of supply (3.3 months), and homes that sold went under contract in a median of 16 days at 100.0% of original list price. West Windsor is a seller's market (2.2 months, 13 days) and Montgomery is a seller's market (2.6 months, 17 days). Under 3 months of supply favors sellers, 3 to 6 is balanced and over 6 favors buyers, so buyers should have a pre-approval ready before touring; every town is on our market page.

Yes, a signed buyer agency agreement is now standard practice under current NJ real estate rules and the NAR settlement (effective August 2024). Any agent you work with will need one in place before showing you homes. Many agents will lock you into 3 to 6 month exclusive commitments before you have any sense of whether they're the right fit. We don't do that. We're confident enough in our service that we allow 1-day cancellations at any time, no questions asked. We accommodate first-time buyers with property-specific agreements as well. The agreement is a formality; it is not our goal to pressure you into a relationship with us before you're ready.

Start with a comparative market analysis based on recent closed sales of comparable homes, current competing listings and how quickly homes in your price range are selling. The Wu Team adjusts comparables for size, condition and features, and also looks at per-square-foot trends and seasonal demand. Use our home value tool for a first estimate, then request an analysis of your home.

As of November 2026, homes that sold in Princeton went under contract in a median of 16 days, versus 13 in West Windsor and 17 in Montgomery. Those figures count only homes that sold, so listings that never sold are not reflected, and timing also depends on price, condition and season. Preparation and pricing from comparable sales are the main things within your control; see our seller process.

The Wu Team's listing process starts with a pre-listing consultation on preparation, then pricing from comparable sales, professional photography and staging coordination. We launch on the MLS, market the home across major online platforms and to our multilingual buyer network, and handle negotiation and transaction coordination through closing. The steps are laid out on our Sell With Us page.

Not every home needs full staging, and whether it pays off depends on the home, its condition and its price point. The Wu Team does a pre-listing consultation to identify the improvements worth making, and coordinates staging, photography and other preparation as part of the listing process. Our home prep checklist is a good place to start.
