If you are selling a Hudson County condo this spring, the headline report is misleading.
The county-wide average is now 52 days on market. But Downtown Jersey City, Paulus Hook, Hamilton Park, and prime PATH-walkable Hoboken condos are still moving in 32 days when priced and prepped correctly. Heights, Journal Square, and interior West New York run 45 to 70.
The single biggest seller mistake in 2026: pricing off 2024 comps. The only numbers that matter are the last 60 days.
The other killer is the price-reduction spiral. A condo listed too high sits 30 days, drops 3%, sits another 30, drops 3% again, and sells in week 14 at 92% of original list. The seller who priced sharply from day one closes in week 4 at 96%. Same number. Six fewer weeks of stress.
Heads up for $1M-plus sellers: the NJ Mansion Tax was restructured July 10, 2025. It is now tiered and paid by the seller, not the buyer. On a $1.5M Hoboken sale, that is $15,000.
