Hoboken, NJ Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Hoboken's tracked sales are overwhelmingly condos, which changes how every number below should be read: the median tracks that segment, not a blend of property types. Here is what actually closed over the last six months, as of September 2026.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 6 months: 390
  • Median sold price, last 6 months: $987,500
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $970
  • Middle half of sales closed between: $720,000 and $1,525,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 390 closed sales in Hoboken over the last six months, with a median closing price of $987,500. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $720,000 and $1,525,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 90% of the Hoboken closings we track here are condos, so these figures describe that segment rather than every property type in the city, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 382 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $850 and $1,111 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Hoboken over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $720,000 and $1,525,000. Among the 51 New Jersey markets with a published band, Hoboken's middle-half spread ($720,000 to $1,525,000) ranks 42nd from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 82nd percentile of the 2,187 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of September 4, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 19 days, across 141 Hoboken closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • Contract to closing: a median of 41 days, across 82 Hoboken closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 390 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Hoboken angle

Spread, not sample size, is the constraint in Hoboken. 390 closings is a solid sample, while the distance from $720,000 to $1,525,000 is wider than most markets we track. That ordering matters. The evidence exists, so the risk is not scarcity, it is treating a varied market as though one figure could describe it. $987,500 marks the middle closing and summarises properties that differ substantially from each other, so an address quoted at the citywide midpoint is being described by a number that may belong to a very different home. Use the record instead. Hold property type constant, hold a size window constant, account for condition, and price from the closings that survive those filters. Then check the result against $720,000 and $1,525,000. Since the stretch above the midpoint is the wider half, an estimate assembled from larger or better finished comps will run high faster than a low leaning set will run low.

From market read to offer price

In a market this concentrated in condos, pricing any one property starts with its own segment, not the citywide line. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Hoboken address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Hoboken over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Hoboken city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 12% of the 390 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $999,999.

How many homes sold in Hoboken last month?

What is the typical sale price range in Hoboken?

What is the typical price per square foot in Hoboken?

Among qualifying Hoboken closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median sold price per square foot was $970, measured across 382 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.

Does property type change how much the citywide figure applies?

Substantially. A citywide midpoint blends every property type that closed, so it describes none of them precisely. In a market with a spread as wide as Hoboken's, that blending hides most of what you need. Comparable sales should share the subject's property type before anything else, then its size range and condition. Mixing types into one comp set is a common way to produce a number that looks reasonable against $987,500 and fails against the sales that actually resemble the property.
