The number of homes for sale nationally are up 14%, but here in New Jersey, our inventory is down by -11% (year over year). If you've been looking to buy, I'm sure you noticed this personally.
As a result, home prices in our state have risen by 12%, and homes are selling at around 4% over asking price. You can see this reflected in the more accurate data I provide in the county table above. Only Hudson County took a significant drop compared to previous data I've shared (click below). No doubt that will go right back up in the next report.
I'd like to point out that Essex County is about to break $600,000, Passaic is in the mid-$500's and Bergen is again knocking on the $700,000 door. If inventory stays low, it's likely these numbers won't come down.
