Hoboken Real Estate Condo Market September Report

Hoboken Real Estate Condo Market September Report

Summer is gone and Hoboken Real Estate is at the top of many people's minds.  Rent's are rising, inventory is low and sales are even. Investors are still active in our current market accounting for a nice slice of all sales. The upper end of the market is performing well and seller's are opting to rent out their condo's to receive record rental incomes instead of selling short.

SEPTEMBER SALES
51 Sales closed for the month. Median list price for all 51 sales was $474,900 and the Median sale price was $460,000. The average days on market was 65 days.

By bedrooms:
1 - Studio
12 - One bedrooms
31 - Two bedrooms
6 - Three bedrooms

UNDER CONTRACT
39 Units changed to pending this month. The Median list price for those under contract was $435,000 and the average days on market was 83 days. (There are a total of 105 units currently in the pending pipeline waiting to close.)

How will real estate fair in the colder months? Historically the trend is for sales to continue to dip during the colder months and into the holidays. However with rents continuing to rise it is a motivating factor for first time buyers and we could see activity in this market increase with affordability conditions favorable and mortgage rates remaining at all time lows.
