Market insights (Old Tappan, NJ real estate)
  • More balanced conditions: With ~5.81 months of inventory in 2025, the market is materially less tight than 2021–2023 (roughly ~3.2–3.3 months), giving buyers more choice than during the earlier low-inventory period.
  • Pace is steady: Average marketing time held at 42 days, consistent with 2024 and faster than the mid-2010s, suggesting appropriately positioned listings still convert in about six weeks.
  • Pricing sensitivity increased: Higher expired and withdrawn counts indicate that overreaching pricing/positioning is more likely to result in a pullback rather than a quick sale.
  • Wider spread of results: The median eased while average sold rose, often reflecting mix shift and/or a small number of higher-priced transactions lifting the average.
