Downtown Jersey City's current inventory is showing just 230 units active. Pent up demand for quality properties is putting pressure on buyer's as more and more units are seeing multiple bids.
This is a good sign for the real estate market as more inventory is absorbed. There is still a small percentage of short sales available however that will lag the market time in this area until those units are purchased. It's difficult to determine the true median prices and days on market due to this factor in the market.
The weather has also helped by leading buyers to purchase earlier than they typically would in the Spring. We anticipate the trend to continue higher through the second quarter.
Check back next month!
