This blog post will break down the latest trends and statistics, providing valuable insights for anyone interested in the local real estate scene.

Bergen County Home Prices Surpass $1 Million

The average closed sales price in Bergen County has officially exceeded the million-dollar mark, approaching nearly $1.1 million.

For potential sellers in Bergen County, this is an opportune moment to list your home and take advantage of record prices.

Rising Home Prices in Passaic County

Passaic County is also experiencing a surge in home prices, with properties now selling for well over $625,000. This increase is particularly noteworthy for first-time home buyers who are increasingly looking to Passaic County as an alternative to the more expensive Bergen market.
