The Daily Drop ยท Hot Property ยท Today

Cranford's quietest cul-de-sac just listed its first home in twelve years.

Homes on Birchwood Court do not come up. In twelve years of tracking listings in this pocket of north Cranford, exactly zero have. Families move in and stay. It is that kind of street.

Number 14 hit the market at 9:42 this morning, a 1962 split-level with original owners. Fourteen inquiries arrived in the first hour, and the price is aggressive for what it is.

The house needs a buyer who values the block as much as the finishes. That is the real story here: a rare street, a clean price, and a weekend that should tell us where Cranford demand really sits.
