The Central Bergen County real estate market is holding steady this summer, even during the slower months of July and August. With families on vacation, kids preparing for back-to-school, and college drop-offs in full swing, the housing market often takes a seasonal pause. Still, the numbers show sellers remain in a strong position across River Edge, Oradell, Emerson, New Milford, Bergenfield, and Dumont.
Despite seasonal slowdowns, demand in Bergen County homes for sale remains strong:
Inventory: Just over 1.5 months of supply
Median Days on Market: 14
Median Sold Price: $1,040,000
List-to-Sale Price Ratio: 109%
These numbers confirm that Bergen County is still firmly a seller’s market.
River Edge continues to shine in the Bergen County housing market:
2 months of inventory
Median Sold Price: $1,230,000
Median Days on Market: 15
List-to-Sale Price Ratio: 108%
Homes in River Edge are selling fast and at competitive prices, making it one of the strongest markets this summer.
Both Emerson real estate and Oradell real estate remain in high demand, with inventory staying low and buyers competing for available homes.
Emerson Market Snapshot:
A little over 2 months of inventory
Median Sold Price: $750,000
19 days on market
105% list-to-sale price ratio
Oradell shows slightly different numbers than River Edge, but both remain attractive to buyers who want to be in Central Bergen County.
New Milford continues to see steady growth:
1.5 months of inventory
Median Sold Price: $730,000
Median Days on Market: 21
List-to-Sale Price Ratio: 103.3%
New Milford sellers are still getting multiple offers, with homes selling quickly at strong prices.
Bergenfield remains competitive while showing slightly longer time on market compared to neighboring towns:
Just over 2 months of inventory
Median Sold Price: $643,000
Median Days on Market: 32
List-to-Sale Price Ratio: 102.9%
While homes take a bit longer to sell here, sellers still benefit from above-list offers.
Dumont is one of the hottest towns in the Central Bergen County housing market:
1 month of inventory
Median Sold Price: $704,000
Median Days on Market: 16
List-to-Sale Price Ratio: 107%
This shows how competitive Dumont has become for buyers, with homes moving quickly and selling above asking.
While summer is traditionally slower, the fall housing market in Bergen County is one of the strongest selling seasons of the year. Activity typically picks up by mid-September and stays strong until Thanksgiving. Now is the perfect time for homeowners to prepare their property to “value up” and take advantage of the demand.
