Happy July 4th Weekend!

As we reach the halfway point in the year, we felt it would be a good idea to review the condo market and look at the numbers based on the past six months. We have compiled stats based on active, under-contract and sold listings.

Across the board Downtown Jersey City was slightly more expensive than Hoboken. What is interesting to note is that as prices and prices per sq/ft have risen slowly and steadily over the past six months, the average days on the market has also increased. For sold properties the average number of days is 16-18 days, which is a reflection on the busy Spring market that we had. But the current active listings are now on the market for 32-41 days. The main reason for this is seasonal, people tend to take a break from house hunting during the summer months. But there are still a good number of active properties on the market—so if you are currently house hunting, there are a lot of terrific options out there.

Mortgage Market in Review:
We’ve seen mortgage rates trend up slightly this week, as the bond market has sold off and the equity markets have rallied. As volume in the market decreases heading into the holiday weekend, a lot of the activity will be viewed as hollow. Markets are open on Monday, but with the 4th of July on a Tuesday this year, expect even lower volume than what we are going to see at the end of this week. All in all, mortgage rates have still been stable. Whether or not the current trend continues after the holiday remains to be seen, and will ultimately determine whether or not this trend upward is for real.
