2022 Year End Summary | Market Breaks Several Records!



2022 Year End Summary


Well, here we are!  

The moment you have all been waiting for! 

How did we do in 2022? 

In a word...AMAZING!

The dramatic increase in interest rates this year sent a shockwave through the market.  Once the new reality settled in, serious buyers adjusted their expectations and moved forward with their home searches. We may never see 3% mortgage rates again.

Record prices and fast-moving inventory capped off a very exciting year.

Lower demand coupled with lower inventory helped keep prices consistently high.

Skyrocketing rents have also started to convert tenants into buyers.

And now...off to the charts!


The pace of sales in Hoboken is the fastest that I have on record since I started recording data in 2009.

Downtown Jersey City hasn't seen properties move this quickly since 2017.

December Real Estate News | Record Prices in Hoboken, Downtown JC Struggling

               




Stay tuned for my 2022 Real Estate Wrap Up...Coming Soon!


The market has continued its normal seasonal slowdown with pending sales dropping for both Hoboken and downtown Jersey City. 

However, Hoboken and downtown Jersey City are telling somewhat different stories at the moment.

Hoboken is showing near record-low inventory with prices remaining stable.  3BR condos actually reached an all-time high average price of $1159.69/sq. ft., bolstered by an impressive $1788.46/sq. ft. sale at 1500 Garden Street.

Downtown Jersey City saw a slightly less of a dip in pending sales than in Hoboken, but inventory has been lingering the on the market a bit longer and as a result, prices declined in December in the 1BR and 2BR market segments.

As we continue through the winter and enter into the spring market is when we will see if we rebound from the winter slowdown or if that market is really starting to shift. Our market overall is a bit different in that we have such a huge rental base that as the market starts to soften, renters become buyers.  I have already started to see this, especially with rental prices at record highs.


Happy Hunting!
