Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Old Tappan’s rolling three-month snapshot shows moderate inventory with 43 active listings and 17 new listings, both slightly higher than a year ago. Homes are still moving, with 14 sales and 20 properties going under contract, reflecting a modest year-over-year increase in closed and pending deals. Months of supply has climbed to 5, up sharply from a year earlier, signaling more options for buyers even as the market gauge still classifies conditions as a seller’s market.
Pricing has adjusted from last year’s peak but remains elevated overall. The typical home value over the latest three-month period is down about 7 percent year over year, while the median list price is up roughly 7 percent from a year ago, suggesting sellers are still aiming high even as closed values soften. At the same time, the average sale-to-list ratio has edged above 101 percent and the share of homes selling above asking, though down from last year, still sits near 29 percent, indicating buyers continue to pay close to or slightly above list for desirable properties.
Days on market offer another sign of shifting dynamics, now at 82 days and slightly faster than a year ago, even though they have lengthened compared with early summer. Roughly 45 percent of homes go off the market within two weeks, so well-priced listings can still attract quick interest. With these mixed signals of increased supply, firm pricing, and selective urgency, both buyers and sellers in Old Tappan can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to navigate strategy and timing.
