What This Means For You
Data-driven takeaways for buyers, sellers, and investors in Passaic County right now.
For Buyers
Favorable- →With a market health score of 33/100, this is a buyer's market — you have negotiating power that wasn't available in 2021–2023.
- →Days on market are up 38 days year-over-year, meaning homes are sitting longer. Use this time to get thorough inspections done before making offers.
- →Homes still sell above asking at 101.89% — so expect competition on move-in-ready, well-priced properties. Budget for at least asking price on desirable listings.
For Sellers
Price Carefully- →Median prices are down 6.2% from a year ago. Overpricing will cause your home to sit — price at market from day one to generate real interest.
- →Homes priced correctly are selling at 101.89% of list price — above asking. This only happens when you price strategically, not aspirationally.
- →In a buyer's market, presentation is non-negotiable. Declutter, stage the main living areas, and address any obvious deferred maintenance before listing.
- →Spring (March–May) typically brings peak buyer traffic in this county. List prepared, not rushed.
For Investors
Monitor- →Price softening (-6.2% YoY) combined with a buyer's market score of 33/100 creates an acquisition window that hasn't existed in years.
- →Relative affordability (score: 48/100) compared to neighboring counties makes this an attractive target for both buy-and-hold and fix-and-flip strategies.
- →DOM of 81 days means motivated sellers are out there. Off-market outreach and patient deal sourcing can yield below-market acquisitions.
