It's the most wonderful time of the year, especially if you're in love — or hoping to be. This is the time of year when you can't turn on the Hallmark Channel without seeing someone find love during the holiday season. Actually, every time of year is when you can't turn on the Hallmark Channel and see someone find love during the holiday season, but I digress.

New Jersey during the holiday season provides the perfect backdrops for love. Whether you're looking to find it at one of the many holiday gatherings and get-togethers, or perhaps you've seen those jewelry store commercials and you're looking for the perfect place to pop the question as so many guys do over the holidays.

If you're looking for a place in New Jersey to take that special someone, or maybe make an impression on someone you'd like to get to know better; I asked my social following: "Where's the most romantic place to take someone over the holidays?"

How much does the average NJ home cost? Median prices by county

Everything is costing more these days — and housing is certainly no exception in New Jersey.

Data for 2022 from January through August, compiled by New Jersey Realtors, shows that South Jersey has been seeing homes hit the market and sell in less than a month, on average.

Median prices for single-family homes have reached $500,000 and above in nine counties in North and Central Jersey.

All but two counties have seen houses go for more than the list price, on average, this year.
