If you own a home in Tenafly, now is the time to celebrate! According to the latest market data, the median estimated value of homes in Tenafly is currently $1,314,000, reflecting an impressive 16% increase in home values over the past 12 months. This rise is significantly above the national average, which is quite remarkable considering the current economic climate.
Looking at the trend over the past three years, Tenafly's real estate market has shown consistent appreciation. Despite national headlines often focusing on declining prices and market shifts, Tenafly has continued to see steady growth. While other markets may be cooling off, Tenafly is standing strong, making it a top choice for buyers looking to invest in a thriving community.
Even though the broader real estate market might be slowing down, Tenafly remains a strong seller’s market. With too many buyers chasing too few homes, demand is outpacing supply, keeping home prices high. Even as other regions see fewer homes sold and a decrease in pending transactions, Tenafly continues to thrive. This situation is beneficial for current homeowners thinking about selling—now is a great time to capitalize on the strong demand.
When comparing Tenafly to neighboring areas and national trends, the difference becomes even more striking:
Tenafly Zip Code: +18.5% home value increase in the past 12 months
Bergen County: +9% increase
New Jersey: +9.2% increase
National Average: +2.7% increase
As you can see, Tenafly is outpacing local and national trends by a significant margin, reinforcing its position as a high-demand real estate market. While national markets are seeing slower growth, Tenafly continues to appreciate at a remarkable rate, which speaks to the area's desirability and strong real estate fundamentals.
One key takeaway from this data is the importance of understanding your local market rather than relying on broad national headlines. National statistics can be misleading, especially in a market like Tenafly, where the demand and property values are significantly higher than the average. By focusing on local market conditions, you can make better-informed decisions about buying or selling in Tenafly.

We’ll introduce you to our mortgage partner, who can help you determine your buying price range with confidence. Be prepared to dig into paperwork during this part of the process such as pay stubs, W2’s, and tax returns. The lender will do a full review and then tell you what you will be able to borrow in order to purchase a home. This is a vital step in the home buying process!
During this process, we will be sending you some listings to evaluate and provide us with feedback. This helps us to understand, update and revise your criteria and preferences. Our agents are always super involved in the community so they can provide you with tons of information about the areas you are interested in. We will also use this information to setup notifications of listings to you and evaluate any office exclusives (homes that are not yet listed in the MLS) so you are the first to see the property.
