New Jersey – Hudson County Real Estate Bi-Weekly Market Update (Sept 1–12, 2025)
Overall Synopsis
As fall approaches, the Hudson County market is trading steady punches in a dynamic match between demand and inventory. Condos and townhouses in West New York and Jersey City are moving with speed, drawing activity in the high-volume $500K–$900K band. Meanwhile, single-family and multi-family properties are showing subtle but meaningful resilience, attracting buyers with long-game intentions. Prices are gently trending upward in most categories, but more notably, average days on market have tightened—suggesting sharper buyer response to well-priced, well-presented listings. The bell hasn’t rung yet: buyers are watching closely, and sellers with smart strategy still have a chance to own the ring.

Condos led the pace with 24 contracts, driven by newer product near the waterfront. Single-family homes saw modest gains, while multi-family remained competitive due to limited supply. West New York and Jersey City accounted for 75% of market movement, with Hoboken and Union City/Weehawken making up the balance.
What’s Driving It
Momentum continues to concentrate along the Hudson waterfront, where product between $500K–$900K sees reliable turnover. West New York’s Port Imperial area remains a magnet for lifestyle buyers, while Jersey City’s inventory diversity provides an entry for both homeowners and investors. Active listings are down slightly for single-family homes (–10%), compressing buyer options and nudging pricing upward. Condos, by contrast, are up 15% in inventory, creating an opportunity window for buyers to negotiate—though well-staged, well-located units are still commanding strong attention.
What’s clear: the market rewards precision. Sellers who launch with sharp pricing, clean presentation, and strategic exposure are outperforming peers. At KēHaus, our approach to listings is aggressive but refined—staging for volume, marketing for emotion, and pricing with intention. We don’t just “put it out there.” We build a launch that captures both neighbors and brokers before it even hits the open market. In Hudson County, proximity to the city isn’t enough—buyers are paying for product, lifestyle, and clarity of value. That’s where your agent makes the difference.
