Hudson: smaller footprints, premium pricing
Hudson County had roughly 2,577 active listings recently, with a median list price near $715,000 — lower than Bergen on the sticker, but the highest price per square foot in the region. That's the Jersey City / Hoboken effect: you're paying for location, the PATH, and the Manhattan skyline more than for square footage.
What's closing
Recently closed Hudson homes sold at a median around $695,000, at about 99.9% of list price, in a median of roughly 84 days — with median sold prices up about 3.4% year over year.
The right-at-ask sale-to-list (vs. Bergen's above-ask) and the slightly longer days-on-market reflect a condo-heavy market: more comparable units competing, buyers with more to compare, and HOA/tax math that makes pricing precision matter.
Where the action is
Jersey City's waterfront and downtown remain the volume leaders; Hoboken stays tight and premium; Bayonne, North Bergen, Union City, and West New York continue to offer relative value with strong rental demand for investors.
The takeaway
Hudson rewards precise pricing and strong presentation even more than the suburbs — with so many comparable units, buyers notice an overpriced listing immediately. For buyers, the longer DOM means a bit more room to negotiate on units that have lingered, but the freshly-listed, well-priced ones still move quickly.
