Inventory tightened by about 7.94% to 58 active listings, and homes are taking longer to move, with median days on market up 12.36% to 100 days.
Looking at the past year adds more context. Typical home values are down about 4.76% year over year, and inventory has fallen more steeply, dropping roughly 31.76%. Buyer activity has eased slightly, with pending sales off about 3.77% and new listings down around 12.05% compared with last year.
Despite slower price growth and longer timelines, Bergen-Lafayette is still classified as a Seller's Market, supported by the fact that about 24% of recent sales closed above asking and the average sale-to-list ratio sits near 0.97. Compared with Jersey City overall, where typical values are closer to $697,625, Bergen-Lafayette offers relatively lower price points and a projected typical home value around $575,000 next month, alongside a projected median list price near $744,000 and inventory around 55 homes. With Jersey City as a whole also seeing values projected near $646,437, local trends point to nuanced conditions block by block. Buyers and sellers in Bergen-Lafayette can both benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who understands these details and can guide them through their next move.
