As 2025 comes to a close, the Northeast Bergen County real estate market highlighted the value of thoughtful preparation and local expertise. Buyers favored move-in ready homes, while sellers who engaged a real estate agent early—focusing on smart updates, neutral paint choices, decluttering, and minor repairs—often achieved stronger results. Understanding what truly drives value is the key to planning confidently for the year ahead.

Overpricing your home can cost you serious money. A property is worth the most on its first day on the market, and each day without an offer can lower its perceived value. Serious buyers act fast—and if they see your home as overpriced, they’re unlikely to return even after a price drop. The Gill Group’s expert pricing strategy helps attract multiple buyers early, create competition, and maximize your final sale price.
