Ridgewood NJ, The North Jersey real estate market is heating up, with two Bergen County communities securing spots among the nation’s most sought-after places to buy a home.
According to a report from Realtor.com highlighting zip codes with the fastest-rising average home prices across the country, New Jersey made a strong showing with 12 towns making the top 99.
Among those top-ranking national hotspots are two standout Bergen County municipalities:
-
Ridgewood, NJ – Ranked #34 nationally, featuring a median listing price of $1.6 million.
-
Wyckoff, NJ – Ranked #38 nationally, featuring a median listing price of $1.2 million.
Why Are Bergen County Homes in Such High Demand?
The driver behind this sustained demand comes down to a classic real estate principle: location.
Steven Pressman, an economics professor emeritus at Monmouth University, emphasizes that proximity plays a crucial role in driving up property values. Buyers actively seek out communities offering convenient access to major employment hubs (like New York City), quality amenities, and waterfront features.
How New Jersey Compares Nationally
New Jersey real estate dominated the national list, led by top-ranking Garden State towns like Glen Ridge, Long Valley, and Riverton.
Across the United States, the overall top five hottest housing markets included:
-
Longmeadow, Massachusetts
-
Fayetteville, New York
-
Rochester, New York
-
Vernon/Rockville, Connecticut
-
South Hadley, Massachusetts
Whether driven by top-rated school systems, easy NYC commutes, or suburban charm, Ridgewood and Wyckoff continue to prove their status as prime real estate destinations for home buyers in 2026.
