Real Estate with Heart: A Local Perspective on Buying and Selling in Haddonfield

By Expert Contributor Christy Oberg, Realtor® Weichert Premier, Haddonfield

As a real estate professional with Weichert Realtors in Haddonfield, a graduate of the Class of 1999 at Haddonfield Memorial High School and a proud resident of nearby Haddon Township, I’ve had the unique privilege of working in one of South Jersey’s most cherished communities. Haddonfield is more than just a place I do business—it’s a town I know deeply and care about greatly. From its historic charm and strong schools to its vibrant downtown and sense of community, it’s easy to see why so many people fall in love with this charming town.

Behind every “For Sale” sign is a personal story—whether it’s a growing family searching for more space, longtime residents ready for their next chapter, or newcomers looking to call Haddonfield home. It’s my honor to help people navigate those transitions with care, insight, and confidence.

Understanding the Haddonfield Market

Haddonfield’s market is unique and dynamic. With limited inventory, historic homes, and strong buyer demand, navigating it takes more than just a license—it takes local knowledge and experience. I’ve worked with clients across every part of town, and I understand what makes each neighborhood special, whether it’s the highly sought-after Elizabeth Haddon section, the elegance in the Real Estate surrounding Tavistock Country Club in the Gill Tract, or the charming blocks off Haddon Ave in the Estates section of town with great walkability to everything.

For buyers, timing and strategy are key. Homes often move quickly and close at or above asking price. For sellers, a polished, professional listing makes a real difference. I offer custom marketing, top-tier photography, and personalized staging guidance to ensure your home shines and sells with success.

Why Summer Is a Great Time to List

If you’re considering selling your home, summer might be the perfect time. Here’s why:

  1. Great Curb Appeal: Flowers are blooming, lawns are green, and the sunshine makes every home more welcoming—perfect for photos and showings.
  2. Motivated Buyers: Families want to move before the school year begins, and summer buyers tend to be serious and ready to act.
  3. Longer Days, More Showings: Extended daylight gives more flexibility for evening and weekend appointments, boosting visibility.
  4. Easier Transitions: Summer closings allow for smoother moves and minimal disruption to work and school schedules.

If you’re not sure whether now is the right time, I’m happy to offer a custom market analysis and walk you through what listing this season could look like.

A People-First Approach

I take a relationship-driven approach to real estate. That means listening carefully, communicating clearly, and tailoring every step of the process to your needs. I’m here as a trusted advisor—not just to help you buy or sell a property, but to ensure you feel confident and supported from start to finish.

Whether you’re buying your first home, relocating, or preparing to sell a home filled with memories, I bring not only market knowledge but also care and compassion to each interaction.

Deep Community Roots

I spend so much of my time in Haddonfield—working with clients, supporting local events, and collaborating with small businesses and schools. I am also well connected in the surrounding towns, like Haddon Twp, a great town many “empty nester” Haddonfield residents love to move to in order to stay local and downsize with all the great conveniences they know and love in the area. I’ve built strong ties to this community and surrounding small towns, and I’m proud to help new residents find their place here.

To me, real estate isn’t just about houses. It’s about neighborhoods, connections, and helping people create a life they love.

Let’s Talk

If you’re thinking about making a move—or even just wondering what your options might be—I’d love to connect. Whether it’s over coffee or a quick phone call, I’m always happy to talk through your goals and answer questions, no pressure.

Haddonfield is a town where people don’t just live—they thrive. And I’d be honored to help you find your place in it. Call or text me at 856.655.0789.
