Hoboken Real Estate Trends | January 27, 2017

by Ann Wycherley
Broker Associate, Century 21 Innovative Realty

There were 21 new listings on the market this week, bringing the total number of available condos to 93—with only 56 units available under $1,000,000.

In the past week there were at least three “best and final” scenarios, with one 2-bedroom listing reportedly receiving 11 offers.

What does this mean?

While we still have a lack of inventory, it looks like bidding wars are going to continue. If you are a seller, now is a good time to think about putting your home on the market. If you are a buyer, you will be facing some stiff competition from other buyers. Make sure you are ready to move on a place that you like. Have your pre-approval ready, and start thinking about if you are willing to offer any other considerations to a potential seller, such as waiving contingencies, etc.

Mortgage Market in Review: As the markets prepare for the inauguration on Friday, we have seen increased volatility in the Equity Markets. This has increased overall stability in the Bond Markets, keeping mortgage rates virtually unchanged over the past couple of weeks. Now, the focus will turn to what type of policies the new administration introduces and gets implemented. How quickly these policies occur will be the key to market movement. For now, expect continuous volatility in stocks as the markets react to rumors, innuendos and tweets.
