Home prices in the Edison-New Brunswick area already dropped more than 7% last year, and they are projected to fall nearly 14% this year. Despite its proximity to Manhattan, the area was particularly hurt by the mortgage bubble and rising unemployment and even by 2012, home prices will continue to be weak.
