Spring Market in Full Bloom! Bergen County Sellers Still in Control | March 2025 Update
Hi everyone, Kelly Weber here with your April Market Snapshot for Central Bergen County.
As we head into the second month of the spring market, we’re seeing strong numbers almost across the board—every town is up year-over-year except for Bergenfield. And Oradell in particular is showing phenomenal growth, with over 13 percent year-over-year appreciation.
Let’s break it down town by town:
Still firmly in a seller’s market
Just over one month of inventory
Homes selling at 109% of list price
16 median days on market
Median sold price: $1,020,000
Inventory is up slightly, but that’s mostly due to a few listings sitting on the market longer—and as I always say, when homes sit, it usually comes back to one thing: pricing.
In today’s market, we price at market value and negotiate up—not the other way around. Buyers ask what’s wrong if something sits too long, and often, there’s nothing wrong—just a pricing issue.
Less than one month of inventory
Homes selling at 110% of asking
11 median days on market
Median sold price: $790,000
River Edge remains competitive and continues to favor sellers.
Emerson has been a standout this year—and it’s still on fire.
Virtually no inventory
Median home value: $780,000
Up nearly 8 percent year-over-year
Down just a touch month-to-month (0.1%)
I like to call Emerson a “sleeper town”—people are just starting to realize what a great commuter town it is, and demand has spiked as a result.
About 1.35 months of inventory
Homes selling at 105% of list price
26 median days on market
Median sold price: $780,000
Steady demand and consistent appreciation here.
This is the only town that didn’t show appreciation this month, which could be due to inventory timing or specific listings.
1.5 months of inventory
110% of list price
15 median days on market
Median sold price: $602,000
Still a strong seller’s market—this dip may just be temporary.
Just over one month of inventory
Homes selling at 106% of asking
18 median days on market
Median sold price: $600,000
Another solid performer this spring.
The spring market is heating up. We’re seeing more inventory coming on in:
Dumont
Bergenfield
Washington Township
Two great new listings in Emerson
And two very strong homes coming up in Oradell

Our clients get first access to our exclusive off-market listings before they go live. So if you're not working with an agent who has inventory, that could be why you're missing out on winning bids.
