Active listings in our area are down by 8.75% compared to last year, and the median sale price is up 11%. Inventory continues to be an issue here in NJ, regardless of what's happening elsewhere.
The most notable changes from my previous report (see last week's email below) are that Essex County's median sale price went from $544,000 in early April to $630,000 now. Maybe that home that went for $436,000 more than asking had something to do with it?!
Hudson also saw a rise in sale price from $619,000 to $661,000 during the same time period.
These prices aren't going away, and rates aren't going to come down anytime soon. My advice is if you NEED to sell, then you couldn't pick a better time to do it. If you can hold off, then sit back and enjoy your low monthly and the roof over your head.
Should you need to sell to buy, and wondering if it's possible in this market, reply to this email and I will send you a guide I put together. It's worth knowing options to see if it makes sense or not.
