Absorption Rate
The absorption rates for Hoboken and downtown Jersey increased a bit for February which was caused by slight increases in inventory and slight reductions in closed sales for the month. Rates are actually down 24.5% for Hoboken as compared to February, 2010 and flat for downtown Jersey City.
