Sales Prices Dropped in Montclair, NJ

The average sale prices among the 32 properties that closed in September were 96% of the original asking prices, the first time that this percentage has fallen below 100% since November 2016.

This result stemmed from a mix of properties that included some higher priced homes with weaker demand, and some lower priced homes that were distressed or in need of updating.
