Bergen County Real Estate Outlook for 2026

Looking ahead to 2026, all signs point to continued strength in the Central Bergen County housing market. Discussions around interest rate adjustments, renewed buyer confidence, and increased demand from New York buyers relocating to New Jersey are all contributing factors.

Historically, when buyers hear that interest rates may decrease, demand increases and home prices rise. Waiting for rates to change often results in paying more for the home itself.

For buyers, even during the slower holiday season, opportunities still exist. Waiting on the sidelines may lead to more competition and higher prices.
