Brookdale real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Brookdale real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Brookdale’s housing market is moving on limited inventory, with just 9 homes for sale and only 4 new listings in February 2026. Pending sales also stood at 4, and months of supply was a lean 1.8, signaling relatively few options for shoppers. Compared with last year, inventory is down 35.71 percent and new listings are down 42.86 percent, so buyers are competing over a smaller pool of homes.
Prices are responding to this tight supply, even as activity slows. The typical home value in Brookdale is about $676,000, slightly above Essex County’s $670,000, and is projected to reach $706,500 by March 2026, while the county is projected at $675,250. Yet year over year, Brookdale values are down 2.74 percent, and the median list price has held steady month over month at $699,000, suggesting sellers are not pushing asking prices dramatically higher right now.
Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market up 63.74 percent year over year to 149 days, and up sharply month over month as well. Still, 40 percent of recent sales closed above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list price ratio is 1.033, with only about 11 percent of listings seeing price cuts. With Brookdale currently labeled a seller’s market at a market gauge of 23, both buyers and sellers can benefit from using Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands these conditions.
