2021 saw a continuation of the historically low interest rates and even though some predict they will rise in the new year, it’s unlikely the jump will be significant and/or immediate. This means potential buyers are still out there looking for their next-step home and eager to lock in a great rate.

It was also the year of supply chain disasters and labor shortages, both of which are still running rampant. This means new home construction has slowed down immensely and there simply aren’t enough houses being built fast enough to meet high demand. So why not take advantage? List your home for a fair price and you’re likely to have quick and prolific interest that could result in a bidding war, which always favors the seller.

Most of us have experienced a major shift in the home dynamic throughout the pandemic. More households now include people working from home either part- or full-time, plus children have been home more due to remote learning. As a result, many rooms in the house are serving dual purposes these days, leading many to look for a larger residence. Just think of what you could add to your new home budget after getting top dollar for your current home!

Another trend that should continue at least for part of 2022 in New Jersey is renters moving out of densely populated cities like Jersey City or Hoboken, and even the five boroughs of New York, and into the suburbs. In the case of those who work in NYC, Bergen County is always an attractive choice for commuters given its proximity and mass transit options. One leaving the city, many find that these towns offer a strong the sense of community, making them an ideal place for families.
