Homes Sold for $150,000 or Less in Cumberland County Feb. 16-22, 2026

NJ.com’s Real Estate Newswire published a weekly market snapshot showing properties in Cumberland County that sold for $150,000 or less during the week of Feb. 16–22, 2026, and the six homes included span prices from $50,000 to $150,000, underscoring pockets of very low-priced housing in the county. The roundup combines single‑family properties across Millville, Bridgeton and Heislerville and — on the listings that include metrics — reveals price-per‑square‑foot values ranging from $34 to $117, an unusually broad spread for a compact sample.

**Key details and immediacy** The Real Estate Newswire product that produced the list is machine‑driven: “Real Estate Newswire is a service provided by United Robots, which uses machine learning to generate analysis of data from Propmix, an aggregator of national real‑estate data.” That automated approach matters because several items in the snapshot carry later closing dates (late July) even though the headline week is Feb. 16–22, 2026, and one Movoto/BRIGHT MLS metadata line shows “Data last updated: 2/26/2026.” The Movoto excerpt also warns readers that “Some properties represented may not have actually solddue to reporting errors,” and includes standard use and appraisal disclaimers: “The information provided by this website is for the personal, non-commercial use of consumers and may not be used for any purpose other than to identify prospective properties consumers may be interested in purchasing” and “This home sale information is not to be construed as an appraisal and may not be used as such for any purpose.” Those notes frame the factual snapshot below and the verification steps needed to firm up the public record.

**The homes that sold for $150,000 or less** 618 Dock Street, Millville — $150,000 This Millville address appears in the Movoto/BRIGHT MLS fragment as the top item (“## 1. $150K”) in a weekly roundup context; the only explicit figure in the excerpt is the $150,000 price. Movoto metadata attached to that entry shows “Data last updated: 2/26/2026.” No square footage, lot size, year built or closing date were included in the excerpt, so county deed records or the full BRIGHT MLS history will be needed to confirm specifics.

77 Coral Avenue, Bridgeton — $140,000; 1,196 sq ft; $117/sq ft; lot 11,774 sq ft; built 2002; closed July 28 The Yahoo/Real Estate Newswire excerpt lists this single‑family house at $140,000 with a living area of 1,196 square feet and a calculated $117 per sq ft, sitting on an 11,774‑sq‑ft lot and built in 2002. The excerpt explicitly states the deal “sold in July” and provides the date July 28 as the deal finalization day. Those details make this newer‑build Bridgeton home one of the higher per‑square‑foot values among the sub‑$150K sales in the snapshot.

309 Seventh Street, Millville — $130,000; 1,536 sq ft; $85/sq ft; lot 5,279 sq ft; built 1922; closed July 28 Listed as “## 4. $130K” in the syndicated excerpt, this single‑family Millville house shows 1,536 square feet of living area and a $85 per‑square‑foot price, on a 5,279‑sq‑ft lot and built in 1922. The excerpt records the deal as having “changed hands in July” with the deal finalized on July 28, the same date noted for 77 Coral Avenue.

3074 Route 47, Millville — $100,000 The snippet for this Millville parcel appears as “## 5. $100K” but the supplied material truncates the rest of the entry. The available text includes only the $100,000 price and the index position; square footage, lot size, year built and the closing date are missing from the excerpt. Reporters should retrieve the complete Real Estate Newswire or county transfer record entry to report the full property characteristics.

221 River Road, Bridgeton — $67,500 (listed as $68K); 1,872 sq ft; $36/sq ft; lot 2.3 acres; built 1926; closed July 24 This entry is recorded as a detached house that “underwent a change of ownership in July.” Yahoo’s excerpt gives precise numbers: $67,500 (presented also as $68K in the index), 1,872 square feet, $36 per sq ft, and a 2.3‑acre lot with a 1926 construction year; the deal is shown as finalized on July 24. The combination of a large lot and low per‑square‑foot price indicates how lot size and age interact in the county’s lower‑priced market.

136 Main Street, Heislerville — $50,000; 1,470 sq ft; $34/sq ft; lot 0.6 acre; built 1900; closed July 29 The most striking bargain in the set is a Heislerville single‑family house listed at $50,000 with 1,470 square feet and a $34 per‑square‑foot price, on a 0.6‑acre lot and built in 1900. Yahoo’s excerpt records a July 29 finalization date. A $50,000 purchase of a nearly 1,500‑sq‑ft house will be the stat that surprises many locals and is likely to drive attention to the county’s affordability dynamics.

**Data gaps, date anomalies and verification** The original summary line supplied with the roundup notes: “These brief weekly roundups aim to give prospective buyers, sellers, and local market watchers a granular look at lower‑p” — that sentence is truncated in the supplied text and should be completed by the publisher. More concretely, the Original Report labels the list as covering the week of Feb. 16–22, 2026, yet multiple properties in the excerpt show July finalization dates and another fragment references an Aug. 18–24 roundup context. Given that Real Estate Newswire is an automated service drawing from aggregated feeds, the timing could reflect differences between sale closing dates, deed recordation dates and the automated aggregation window. To resolve that, county deed/transfer records or BRIGHT MLS histories should be checked for each address to confirm final sale price, recording date, square footage, lot size and year built before treating the Feb. 16–22 label as definitive.

Movoto/BRIGHT MLS language in the supplied material underscores this need: “The information provided by this website is for the personal, non-commercial use of consumers and may not be used for any purpose other than to identify prospective properties consumers may be interested in purchasing” and “This home sale information is not to be construed as an appraisal and may not be used as such for any purpose.” The Movoto excerpt also notes the timestamp “Data last updated: 2/26/2026” and cautions that “Some properties represented may not have actually solddue to reporting errors.”

**Market implications and what to watch** Even taking the snapshot at face value, the six properties illustrate important local dynamics. The price range ($50,000 to $150,000) combined with price‑per‑square‑foot variance ($34 to $117) suggests that property condition, lot size and year built are determining price drivers in the county’s bottom tier. Older houses (1922, 1926 and 1900) appear at the lowest absolute prices, while a 2002 home shows the highest per‑square‑foot value in the sample. For municipal leaders and housing policymakers in Cumberland County — Bridgeton, Millville and Heislerville officials among them — these sales are relevant to conversations about rehabilitation funding, tax assessments and affordable‑housing strategy because sub‑$150K sales affect both the tax base and the pool of homes that could be candidates for rehabilitation or adaptive reuse.

Looking ahead, clearer public records on recording dates and deed transfers will determine whether the snapshot reflects titles logged during Feb. 16–22, 2026 or whether it is an aggregation of earlier July closings or other weekly feeds. If many low‑priced properties continue to surface in verified county records, it would strengthen the case for targeted policy responses around housing quality, floodplain mitigation (where applicable) and code enforcement to stabilize neighborhoods while preserving affordability.

This snapshot — machine‑generated and accompanied by explicit data caveats — provides a starting point for deeper reporting and public‑policy attention to the county’s lowest‑priced housing segment. As officials and prospective buyers examine deeds and MLS histories, the confirmed records will show whether these listings represent a short‑term aggregation effect or a persistent feature of Cumberland County’s housing market.
