Rutherford real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Rutherford real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Rutherford is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 29, but conditions are not overwhelmingly one‑sided. With just 2.6 months of supply and 26 active listings, buyers see limited options even as homes take a median of 101 days to go under contract.
Prices show mixed signals that help explain this balance. The typical home value sits around $797,500, down 12.84% from last year but up 7.77% over the past month, while the median list price jumped 46.02% month over month to $825,000. Compared with Bergen County’s typical value of $760,000, Rutherford remains somewhat higher‑priced despite the recent annual decline.
Market activity is steady rather than overheated, with 13 new listings, 9 pending sales, and 30% of homes selling above list as sellers still hold an edge. Only about 11.5% of listings saw price drops, and homes are selling at roughly 98.5% of their asking price, suggesting sellers are close to their targets. Looking ahead to April 2026, the typical home value is projected to rise to about $826,250 with a projected median list price near $955,000. Whether buyers want to navigate limited inventory or sellers hope to capitalize on current pricing power, Agent Pronto can connect both with an agent who understands Rutherford’s trends.

“Working with Connie was a joy! She was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. She made recommendations on how to present our house, which I believe greatly enhanced it attractiveness. She understood pricing in our area, and positioned our house for a reasonable sale. She also knew about local regulations (like the need for fire alarm inspection) and advised us to take care of them so the did not hold up closing. Finally she was readily available. If she could not answer our calls, she was very prompt in calling back, and she was always ready to listen to our questions. She made a very stressful time much more tolerable.”
