Bergen County

- Median Sale Price: $738,000 (relatively flat since the beginning of the year)
- Days on Market: Moving higher
Essex County
Essex continues to show steady inventory growth and strong pricing. At the same time, homes are taking longer to sell than they have in the past few years.
- New Listings: 125 (up about 3%, consistently 3% to 6% above last year)
- Median Sale Price: Up 6% (higher than it has been for this time period in the last several years)

Passaic County
Passaic is seeing the largest jump in new inventory. Even though we still do not have a large supply overall, that 18% increase in listings is likely putting pressure on pricing.
