2023 Year End Summary



In a year plagued with high mortgage rates we still had a record-breaking year in many categories.

The continued dynamic of lower inventory coupled with high demand drove prices to record levels.

The increasing rents that we are experiencing in the area also continues to convert renters into buyers.

December Real Estate Update | ALL-TIME HIGHS! 2023 ENDS STRONG

   




I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

The Hoboken and downtown Jersey City markets ended 2023 on a strong note!


Hoboken

The big news for December is that 2BR condos hit an all-time high of $924.77/sq.ft.

The continued lack of inventory coupled with strong demand and lower interest rates is fueling the market.


Downtown Jersey City

The big news for December is that 1BR and 2BR units hit all-time highs.  1BR units reached $888.74/sq.ft. while 2BR units reached $959.30/sq.ft.


There is speculation that pricing will remain strong in 2024 now that mortgage rates are dropping and more buyers are re-entering the market.
