SOLD: 232 Pavonia Ave, Unit 619, Hamilton Park.

This one closed on Friday, and I'm grateful I got to represent the sellers.

Unit 619 sits right along the park in Hamilton Park, one of my favorite corners of Downtown Jersey City.

Every sale comes down to the same few things: the right price, the right buyers, and a calm path from attorney review to the closing table.

Thinking about selling in Downtown JC, or just curious what your place could do? Send me a message. No pressure, just an honest conversation.

A $100,000 salary in Hudson County supports about $384,000 of home at the 28% guideline lenders use. The county's median sale was $710,000. That gap is why people decide they are priced out before they ever talk to anyone.

Here is what the median hides. In Jersey City the median Q3 2026 sale was $720,000, but a quarter of sales closed at or under $492,000. Across the county, 16% of all 854 closings last quarter were at or under that $384,000 line.

Where that share is highest: Guttenberg 64%, Union City 36%, North Bergen 32% and West New York 31%.

The median tells you what the middle of a market costs. It does not tell you what is reachable in it. Town figures are my estimates, not ATTOM's.

If you want the list of what actually traded under $384,000 in your town last quarter, send me a message and I will pull it.

This Saturday in the Heights, there is a building that costs less as a whole than as two condos added together.

181 Webster Ave is a renovated brick building, and it is on the market three ways at once. Unit 1 is $1,149,000 and Unit 2 is $849,000, which is $1,998,000 for both. The whole building, as a two-family, is $1,949,000.

Unit 1 has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths across two separate levels, with a private entrance to the ground floor and access to the backyard. Unit 2 has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Both have large Andersen windows, a fireplace, a custom kitchen, and a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a Juliet balcony. The building has parking for 3 or more cars, which matters on a Heights block.

It sits near Riverview-Fisk Park and the 9th Street Light Rail, and the restaurants, cafes and shops along Palisade Avenue are close by.

Open house: Saturday, October 24, from 12 to 2 PM at 181 Webster Ave, Jersey City Heights. The listing is John Poggiogalle's at New and Modern Group, and I am hosting. Come by, walk it, and bring your questions.

The affordable apartment in Jersey City is disappearing, and I can show you how fast.

I pulled every lease closed on the MLS from June through mid October and compared it to the same window last year.

Citywide, rent went from $2,700 to $2,827. About 5%. That is the headline, and it undersells the problem, because the question a renter actually faces isn't what the average costs. It's how many apartments they can afford at all.

Last year, 38% of Jersey City leases closed under $2,500. This year, 34%. In the Heights, where a lot of people look when Downtown prices them out, it went from 45% to 37%. That is eight points of affordable stock gone in twelve months, from the one neighborhood people were counting on.

And right now, if you are searching Downtown under $2,500, there are seven listings. Seven, out of 157.

Heights rent is up 8%, nearly double the city, and it moved across unit sizes rather than in one segment. One bedrooms, two bedrooms and three bedrooms all went the same direction.

Investor demand is part of this pressure and it's real. But I'm not going to tell you it's the whole story, because this data can't prove that. What it does show is supply, price, and how little is left at the bottom of the market.

One finding that cuts the other way, because you should hear it too. More than a quarter of everything listed in Jersey City today already asks below its own original price. Owners are adjusting in real time.

So tell me where you are. If you rent in Jersey City, comment your neighborhood and one word. UP if your rent rose at renewal this year, FLAT if it held. I'll tally it and post what comes back.

Most of the work that sells a home happens before it ever hits the market. The week after you sign the listing agreement is prep: photos scheduled, a room by room walk to decide what gets fixed and what gets moved out, pricing set together, and the listing copy written.

Your home gets one real debut. I'd rather go live a few days later and go live clean than spend the next month undoing a bad first impression. Thinking about listing in Jersey City? Send me a message and I'll walk you through the prep list before you commit to anything.
