Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Bergen County real estate market. *
July 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Inventory in Bergen County has expanded compared with last year, with active listings up about 9 percent and roughly 3.5 months of supply on the market. Even with more homes available, sales activity is strong, as homes sold have climbed more than 12 percent year over year and pending sales are also higher. Properties still move at a steady pace, spending a median of about 70 days on the market.
Home values are significantly higher than the New Jersey average, with a typical home value around $848,000 versus about $603,000 statewide. Prices are moderating month to month, as both the typical home value and median list price have dipped since June, yet they remain roughly 6 percent and 6 percent above last year, respectively.
Seller leverage is evident, though some heat has come off the peak frenzy. Over half of recent sales closed above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 103 percent, even as the share selling above list has eased slightly from a year ago. With more options for buyers but conditions that still favor sellers, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced Bergen County agent who knows how to navigate this shifting market.
Bergen County offers residents a dynamic mix of suburban neighborhoods, excellent schools, abundant parks and recreation, a thriving cultural scene, and convenient access to major urban centers.
Bergen County offers a distinct mix of close commuter access to Manhattan and a strong sense of local identity that sets it apart from neighboring counties. From the walkable downtown of Ridgewood to the riverfront parks along the Hudson in communities like Fort Lee, each town feels like its own small community while still sharing countywide amenities and services.
Residents appreciate the county’s extensive park system, highlighted by Overpeck County Park with its trails, sports fields, and waterfront views, and Van Saun County Park in Paramus, home to the popular Bergen County Zoo. Cultural options include the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, while neighborhoods from Hackensack to Teaneck offer diverse dining, shopping, and community events.
Families are drawn to strong public schools, extensive youth programs, and active local libraries and recreation departments. Commuters value multiple NJ Transit rail and bus options and proximity to major highways and regional airports, which keeps demand for homes steady across a variety of price points and property types.
Whether you already live in Bergen County or are considering a move from nearby areas like Essex County, timing and preparation are crucial in this competitive market. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a real estate professional who understands local neighborhoods, pricing trends, and how to position you for success.
