Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Bergen-Lafayette real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Bergen-Lafayette saw some notable month-over-month shifts in February 2026, with the typical home value dipping about 3.9% to $625,000 even as the median list price jumped 12.4% to $759,000. Homes also slowed, with median days on market climbing to 89 days, up nearly 22% from the prior month. Inventory tightened slightly to 60 active listings while new listings reached 62, suggesting sellers are still coming to market but buyers have a bit less to choose from.
Looking at the past year, prices have edged up more gradually. The typical home value is about 2.0% higher than a year ago, while inventory is down roughly 10.5% and new listings are off about 7.5%, signaling fewer options overall. Buyers are also taking longer to commit, with median days on market up about 48% compared with last year.
Even with the slower pace, Bergen-Lafayette is still leaning toward sellers, reflected in its seller’s market gauge of 12 and the fact that about 40% of recent sales closed above the list price with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.98. Compared with Jersey City as a whole, where the typical home value is around $799,500, Bergen-Lafayette offers a lower price point today and a projected typical value of $612,500 next month. With projected inventory near 59 homes and a projected median list price of about $801,000, both buyers and sellers can benefit from having Agent Pronto connect them with a skilled local agent to navigate these trends.
