Northern NJ Market

If you’ve been following my newsletters since the late summer, you’ve probably noticed I was talking like there was a noticeable trend I figured out. However, since the Feds cut interest rates, especially after September 18ths cut - all of that is out the window. Although, I did mention the same problem with inventory happened during last years 4th quarter cuts.


Here's the notable changes this week.

  • Bergen County: New listings are down 11%, while sale prices are up 7%.
  • Essex County: The market remains strong with new inventory and rising prices — up 4% in listings and $8,000 in MSP. (I'll have a video about this too - check back at my YouTube Channel)
  • Passaic & Morris Counties: Both markets remain steady, showing little change from last week.
  • Hudson County: Inventory is up 13% compared to last year and 9% from last week. However, the median sale price dipped 1%, marking the first time in years that prices have fallen below last year’s levels.
