Montclair real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Montclair real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Montclair’s housing supply is tight, with just 52 homes on the market in March 2026 and only 2.2 months of supply, even after a 62.5% monthly jump in inventory. Contract activity shows 40 pending sales and 55 new listings, indicating homes are still being absorbed quickly.
Pricing is responding to this strong demand, as typical home values climbed to about $1,425,000, up 9.38% year over year and 5.56% from the prior month. In contrast, the median list price slipped to roughly $1,050,000, a 6.54% monthly decline that may reflect sellers adjusting ask prices while values trend higher.
Homes are moving much faster, with the median days on market down to 21 days, dropping 78.35% month over month and 44.74% from last year. With about 75% of homes selling above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio near 1.25, Montclair is firmly in a seller’s market, especially compared with Essex County’s typical value of $665,000. Inventory is projected to edge up to 62 listings next month while the typical home value is expected to reach about $1,462,500, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers navigate these trends by connecting them with a skilled local agent.
