Hoboken Condos Sales & Activity – Week of May 25th
Memorial Day – the official start of summer fun. Last night the Hoboken Memorial Day parade took place and honored 93 year old Medal of Honor Recipient Nicholas Oresko for his valiant service in WWII.
It’s also prime time for sellers to list their units if they hope to get a deal before the 2010 school year begins. Interest rates have hit new lows which makes buying a home more affordable. Governor Christie is pushing hard for a 2.5% property tax cap. Here is what he had to say in Hoboken:

There has been much discussion in last week’s comments about the “state of the Hoboken condo market” and the economy in general. An interesting point made concerned the change over time in the number of 2 bedroom Hoboken condos listed for under $600,00 and over $600,000. I went back to May 2009 and looked at those numbers. 64% of the 2 bedrooms for sale were under $600k and 36% were over. Currently around 75%of the 2 bedroom condos for sale are under $600k and 25% over. So the question is – are there more lower priced 2 bedroom condos because Hoboken condo sellers have become more realistic in their pricing? Are they lower because prices have actually declined? Or are there simply fewer new construction, high-end condos listed on the MLS right now? Last May quite a few units at 1025 Maxwell and the Garden Street Lofts were listed. Perhaps the assortment of properties for sale is what has changed. The only thing of which I am certain is that this debate will not be resolved for some time.
Here are this week’s numbers vs. last week:
- 556 active Hoboken condo units – vs. 546 last week
- 13 DABO (Deposit Accepted By Owner i.e. under contract) with 1 short sale vs. 13
- 32 sold (2 short sales) vs. 16 (0 short sales)
