The Big Story: Market Acceleration
Over the past three weeks, the Bergen County market has shifted noticeably.
Median days on market dropped from 70 days to 42 days, meaning homes are now selling 40 percent faster than they were just weeks ago.
At the same time:
• Inventory is declining
• The Market Action Index is rising
• Buyer demand is strengthening
This combination signals true demand momentum, not just limited supply.
Inventory Is Tightening
Active inventory currently sits at 567 homes, down from 579 homes just three weeks ago.
When inventory declines while demand increases, the result is often stronger seller leverage.
However, the market still behaves differently depending on price bracket.
For example:
• Luxury homes typically take longer to sell
• Mid-range homes move fastest
• Entry-level homes often receive the most competition
Even within Bergen County, towns like Fort Lee, Tenafly, and Leonia can behave very differently.

Hudson vs Bergen: Two Different Market Speeds
Both counties remain seller-friendly markets.
However, they are moving at slightly different speeds.

Median DOM: 42 days
Market accelerating rapidly
Hudson County

Hudson also shows more price adjustments, with 19 percent of listings reducing their price compared to Bergen’s 10 percent.
This means pricing discipline is especially important for Hudson County sellers.
