Balanced Market
6.0 months of supply = 1,958 homes for sale at month end ÷ 326 sold per month
If no new homes were listed, the homes for sale at month end would sell out in 6.0 months at the current pace.
- Under 4.0 months = seller's
- 4.0–6.0 = balanced
- Over 6.0 = buyer's

50 = typical for Hudson in September
Mixed signals
More supply than usual, but prices rising faster than usual
Each factor compares this county with its own history (Sep 2016–2019, 2023–2025). 50 = typical for this county at this time of year (the mid-line on each bar). Under 40 = cooler than usual, over 60 = hotter than usual. When the factors pull hard in opposite directions, a middling score means they're cancelling out, so it's labeled mixed signals. Affordability is shown for context and isn't part of the score.

Town prices and rents
County average: $536/sqft. Tap or click a column header to re-sort. Town figures come from Redfin for Jul–Sep 2026 (rolling 3 months) and include towns with 10+ sales. Redfin reports towns by Census place, so some NJ townships don't have their own row, and a few rows cover only part of a township. Typical rent is Zillow's Observed Rent Index for Sep 2026 (asking rent across all home types); “–” means Zillow doesn't publish one for that town.

What this means for you
What this month's numbers mean for buyers, sellers, and investors in Hudson County.
For buyers
Balanced- →With 6.0 months of supply, the market is balanced: neither buyers nor sellers hold a strong advantage. Fairly priced, well-prepared offers win.
- →Homes are selling 13.8% faster than last year (median 50 days). Well-priced homes are moving, but with 6.0 months of supply you still have time to compare options.
- →Homes are selling right around asking (100.1%). Well-priced homes still draw interest, but there's less pressure to bid over list.
For sellers
Balanced- →Median prices are up 11.4% year-over-year. Sellers who price in line with recent comparable sales are getting the benefit of that trend.
- →In a balanced market, well-prepared, correctly priced homes sell and overpriced ones sit. I'd prep the house fully and price to the latest sales of similar homes.
- →Spring (March–May) typically brings peak buyer traffic in this county. It's better to list fully prepared than to rush to catch it.
For investors
Deal by Deal- →With prices up 11.4% year-over-year, Hudson County is still building equity for existing owners. For new purchases, entry-level and value-add properties give you the best cost basis.
- →Typical rent here is about $3,015/month (Zillow, Sep 2026, up 3.0% YoY). At the ~$752K median price, that's a gross yield of 4.8% and an estimated cap rate around 1.6% after property taxes and 30% of rent for other costs, before financing. That's tied for 6th of the 12 counties I track on estimated cap rate.
- →At a median entry price of ~$752K, cash flow depends heavily on the specific town and property. It's worth running the numbers on current rents before you buy.
