Oradell, Emerson & Dumont Home Prices Are Surging! Central Bergen Market Snapshot
Central Bergen County Real Estate Market Update – July 2025
If you're a homeowner or a potential buyer in Oradell, Emerson, River Edge, Dumont, New Milford, or Bergenfield, there's good news: the Bergen County housing market is seeing significant growth across the board. Let’s dive into the latest market snapshot for single-family homes and what it means for you.
Oradell Home Prices Surge Over 13%
The town of Oradell leads the charge with a 13.5% year-over-year price increase. Homes are selling at 115% of list price, a huge jump month-over-month. Median days on the market? Just 14 days. The median sold price is now $1.7M—a clear sign that Oradell real estate is hotter than ever.
River Edge & Emerson Show Strong Growth
River Edge NJ homes have climbed nearly 18% year-over-year, with a median sold price of $940,000.
Homes in Emerson NJ are holding steady with 106% sold-to-list ratios and a median price of $750,000.
These numbers reinforce a strong seller’s market in Bergen County, especially in these family-friendly neighborhoods.
Dumont & New Milford: Steady and Strong
Dumont real estate continues to rise with an 11% increase, reaching a median sold price of $720,000.
New Milford NJ homes are selling at a 104% of list price, with prices just shy of $650,000.
Despite being slightly behind Oradell and River Edge, these towns are proving to be solid investment areas for both buyers and sellers.
Bergenfield: Still Competitive, But Slower Than Others
Bergenfield remains in a seller’s market, with homes selling at 107% of list price. However, its growth rate is slightly behind compared to other Bergen towns. The median sold price is up to $710,000, but why the lag?
Pricing strategy plays a major role. In larger towns like Bergenfield, homes may sit longer if not priced properly. That’s why strategic pricing—not just based on past sale prices, but competitive list pricing—is essential to attract multiple offers and drive value.
The Power of Pricing: Why It Still Matters
In today’s market, your pricing strategy is essential. Homes that sit on the market more than 7–14 days are often overpriced. We recommend a value-driven list price strategy that brings in multiple bids, boosts final sale price, and ensures you attract the most qualified buyers.

We offer Value-Up Consultations—a pre-listing strategy session where we assess your home, identify value-maximizing opportunities, and position it perfectly for the market.
