What This Means For You
Data-driven takeaways for buyers, sellers, and investors in Hudson County right now.
For Buyers
Favorable- →With a market health score of 30/100, this is a buyer's market — you have negotiating power that wasn't available in 2021–2023.
- →Days on market are up 23.7% year-over-year, meaning homes are sitting longer. Use this time to get thorough inspections done before making offers.
- →Homes are selling slightly below asking (99.3%), so there's room to negotiate — especially on homes with longer days on market.
For Sellers
Price Carefully- →Median prices are flat year-over-year — the market has stabilized. Precise pricing is critical: overpriced homes sit, correctly priced homes sell.
- →In a buyer's market, presentation is non-negotiable. Declutter, stage the main living areas, and address any obvious deferred maintenance before listing.
- →Spring (March–May) typically brings peak buyer traffic in this county. List prepared, not rushed.
For Investors
Monitor- →Prices are flat year-over-year in Hudson County. A stabilizing market can signal a buying opportunity before the next appreciation cycle — focus on cash flow and below-market acquisitions.
- →Affordability is a constraint at the premium price point — focus on small multifamily or lower-priced municipalities within the county for better cap rate potential.
- →DOM of 73 days means motivated sellers are out there. Off-market outreach and patient deal sourcing can yield below-market acquisitions.
