Northern NJ Market Review

2025 Q1 Market Data

As the market continues to show uncertainty with conflicts in trade, the GDP showing a .3% slowdown, and the tariff disputes, the housing market remains relatively resilient.

Aside from the data I showed in last week's newsletter, inventory has steadily increased, surpassing 2023 and 2024 levels briefly in late March early April, and sale prices continued to rise. Unfortunately, the latest data for NJ has not updated as I write this so I cannot show the latest information. Instead, I can share a very detailed Q1 2025 report for each county and town in Northern NJ. Click here for those details


10-Year Treasury and Mortgage Rates

Interest rates have dropped as of April 29 and the average 30-year fixed is about 6.82%. Note that April 9 rates dropped to 6.61% and there was a 20% mortgage application increase. That just shows how much pent-up demand there is!
