A Peek Into a Hudson Dwellings’ Listing
Before we jump into the market brief, here’s a sneak peek into a current Hudson Dwellings’ listing that just hit the market in September. Located at 210 Bloomfield Street, #2 right here in Hoboken, this stunning 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom apartment features over 2,500 square feet of living space. This home was recently built and is an upper duplex row house with its own private rooftop and luxurious finishes inside. It is currently listed at $2.35 million.
August 2022 Market Brief
The number of available homes in the Hudson County area has crept down since the start of the summer — however, now that Labor Day is officially behind us, it’s highly likely that sellers are going to be putting their homes on the market to try to catch the back-to-school buyers before the holiday season.
The total number of homes that closed has decreased again, which is standard for August — but based on 2021’s numbers, it still tells us two things. For one, it tells us that the suburban market is slowing, and secondly, it suggests that sellers are uncertain as to where to move next. The fact that more employees are being called back to work in person will affect our local markets here in Hudson County, as we can expect to see minimal days on the market for most homes as a result of the rush back to the office. Rentals continue to remain superior because they give residents a choice regarding whether to stay long term or to balance their lifestyles with a far commute to a beach or mountain home.
With all that being said, here is the August 2022 Market Brief, courtesy of Hudson Dwellings:
