Q3 2022 Market Report
JERSEY CITY
In the third quarter of 2022 in Jersey City, the transaction volume decreased by 12% from the same quarter of the previous year and 19% from the second quarter. The number of new deals in contract also decreased by 6% from the same quarter last year and by 16% from the second quarter. These decreases may be in part due to the unusually robust period the Jersey City market has enjoyed until the late spring of this year as well as the rising interest rates. The inventory increased in the third quarter by 44% from the same quarter last year when the inventory was low and by 18% from the second quarter.
However, the properties didn’t stay on the market long. The days on the market for the properties that closed in the third quarter was 31 days on average, a 23% decrease from the same quarter of the previous year. The prices also haven’t taken a hit from the decrease in transaction volume and the increased inventory. The average dollar per square foot among the condominiums that closed in the third quarter was $608, a 4% increase from the third quarter of 2021, and the median sale price remained the same at $640K. The report demonstrates the resilience of the Jersey City market. Jersey City is more affordable than the neighboring Manhattan and Brooklyn markets, and buyers who have adjusted their budget with the increased interest rate look to Jersey City as an alternative.

Methodology
METRICS
SOURCE
CLOSED AND CONTRACTS SIGNED figures for the current quarter are based on reported transactions at the time the report is prepared and additional listings may be reported after this time period that can affect this data.
DAYS ON MARKET averages how long a unit takes to sell and is calculated from subtracting list date from contract date. Units on the market longer than three years and shorter than one day are considered outliers and removed from the data to prevent significant skewing.
AVERAGE PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT is the average price divided by the average square footage. This is only calculated from listings that have a reported square footage and includes only condominiums. We have deemed this data less relevant for single and multi-family listings and there is not enough data reported to provide an accurate number for those listings.
MEDIAN PRICE AND PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT are the middle or midpoint price where half of sales fall below and half fall above this number.
INVENTORY is a count of all units with a listing date within the measured time period. These listings were on the market within the quarter but may now be under contract or sold.
Figures in this report are based on publicly reported active, pending, and closed sales information via the Hudson County
Multiple Listing Service. The neighborhood designations are based on the determinations of the MLS Areas. Based on information from the MLS for the period of July 2021 through September 2022 as well as selected data from 2018 through 2022.
