Hudson County Real Estate Monthly Market Report (November 2025)

Overall Synopsis

Hudson County’s luxury market continues to show resilience amid broader market uncertainty. Despite modest fluctuations in volume and a slight rise in inventory, contract activity remains strong—especially in the high-performing condo sectors of Jersey City, Hoboken, and waterfront neighborhoods.

Condos remain the anchor of this market, with prices continuing to rise and absorption holding steady. While the 1–4 family luxury market (brownstones, row homes) shows some softening in sales volume and days on market, pricing remains relatively stable. With transit-oriented buyers still driving demand, this remains one of the most value-rich luxury markets across the NYC metro area.

Kēy Takeaway

Hudson County’s luxury market isn’t just holding—it’s evolving. Condos are thriving, buyers remain active, and sellers who position their homes correctly are seeing real results. Whether you’re buying or selling, this is a prime moment to act—with the right data, preparation, and timing.

What’s Driving It

Condo demand continues to lead the market, driven by buyers seeking value, space, and easy access to NYC via PATH, ferry, or light rail. Jersey City and Hoboken are outperforming other submarkets thanks to their lifestyle appeal and transit convenience.

Sellers are benefitting from relatively low inventory growth, which keeps pricing pressure intact. At the same time, increased inventory is giving buyers more leverage—especially in submarkets like Union City and Weehawken, where days on market are rising and SFH sales are slowing.

Market Observations

• Sellers in waterfront condos or turnkey townhomes are seeing faster closings.
• Inventory growth is controlled, meaning pricing remains resilient despite slower sales in select SFH markets.
• Interest rates have created some buyer hesitation, but lifestyle-driven demand continues to hold firm in urban luxury corridors.

Buyer & Seller Insights

For Sellers

Luxury condos near PATH or ferry lines are performing strongly. If you’re listing in Jersey City, Hoboken, or a waterfront corridor—now is the time. Strategic pricing, staging, and early broker outreach can lead to a fast, clean offer.

For Buyers

You have more leverage than last year, especially in SFH inventory that’s been sitting. But in the condo space, the best listings are moving quickly. If the numbers make sense—act before spring competition returns.

Final Takeaway

Hudson County’s luxury market isn’t just stable—it’s opportunistic. Strong submarkets are rewarding confident sellers, while selective buyers still hold room to negotiate in slower pockets. If you’re thinking about making a move, the key is knowing where the opportunity lies—and moving with clarity.
