Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Year-over-year, Fairmount’s rolling three-month data shows softer pricing but shifting dynamics. The typical home value is down about 3% from last year, while the median list price has fallen a bit more sharply. At the same time, homes sold have inched up slightly, even as pending sales have declined.
Inventory patterns highlight a market adjusting to these changes. Active listings are down compared with a year ago, and new listings have dropped at a similar pace, yet Fairmount’s months of supply is now around 5.3 months, close to Newark’s 5.5 months. Homes are taking much longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market surging to roughly three months.
Current selling conditions still lean toward sellers, with the area classified as a seller’s market and nearly 65% of homes closing above list price. The average sale-to-list ratio hovers just above 100%, indicating buyers are often paying at or slightly above asking, even as overall prices trend lower than last year. With these mixed signals and notable contrasts between pricing, speed, and supply, both buyers and sellers in Fairmount can benefit from Agent Pronto helping them find an agent who understands the local numbers and nuances.

“Connie helped me find and buy a home when I relocated to Bridgewater, NJ. She really understood my wants and needs. She didn't just send autogenerated emails every day like many other realtors. Connie actively searched for homes for me and my kids. She was there every step of the way and even checked in after closing. I felt comfortable with Connie and knew I was in good hands.”

Her professionalism, knowledge, communication and dedication were truly outstanding. Tina was always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and worked incredibly hard to make sure everything stayed on track. Thanks to her expertise, my condo sold quickly and the Closing process went smoothly. What stood out the most was how much Tina genuinely cared about me as a client, not just about making a sale.

“I had the pleasure of having Jacqueline Greco as my real estate agent for both renting in Jersey city and Bayonne and for helping us buy our first home, the fact that we chose to work with her 3 times should speak volumes of how good of a job she's done for us, she was always available to discuss concerns and was very blunt about the places we visited with her, one thing that set her apart from other real estate agents we had in the past is how self motivated, diligent and efficient she is, she would always try to make our time worth it by booking the viewings as efficiently as possible, she navigated us through a very out of the ordinary sale, and she put us in contact with many professionals along the way. I would definitely work with her again if we need to sell our home or buy another”
