Key Findings

  1. The primary market value signal is the 1,251,000 median sold price, reflecting recent transaction activity and anchoring local valuations in Jersey City ZIP 07302; with a hot market temperature and price year-over-year trend marked as up, sold prices appear to be supporting modest appreciation.
  2. Despite strong sold-price momentum, the market shows slower sales velocity evidenced by a median days on market of 370, which may indicate increased negotiation windows and pricing friction between seller expectations and completed transactions.
  3. Price density remains high at a median price per square foot of 944, which, combined with rising rents (median market rent 3,550 and rent year-over-year trend up), supports continued investor and rental demand interest but also raises affordability concerns for owner-occupiers.
  4. Interest-rate conditions are a headwind: interest rate pressure is described as elevated and the market context notes that Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Jersey City, NJ, are averaging approximately 6.53%, which may cool some buyer segments and lengthen decision timelines even as the market temperature remains hot.
