June 2026 Housing Market Update for Orange, Rockland, Sussex & Passaic Counties

 

Summer is here, and so are motivated buyers. The June 2026 housing market data across our four counties shows a clear trend:
inventory is rising, demand is strong, and well‑priced homes are still selling fast — often above asking.

Below is a county‑by‑county breakdown optimized for search visibility and seller clarity.


Orange County NY Housing Market – June 2026

Median Sold Price: $496,500
Months of Inventory: 4.67
Sold‑to‑List Price Ratio: 99.2 percent
Median Days in RPR: 54

Orange County recorded the largest price increase this month. The median sold price rose 16.82 percent, which shows strong buyer demand rather than seasonal fluctuation. Inventory increased 7.11 percent, yet homes continued to move. Median days in RPR dropped to 54, so buyers are still acting quickly.

Because the sold-to-list ratio is 99.2 percent, sellers are landing close to asking price. This suggests a market that is becoming more balanced. As inventory grows, accurate pricing becomes even more important. When a home is priced too high, it often stays on the market longer.

Key takeaway: The window for sellers is open, and preparation matters more each week.


Rockland County NY Housing Market – June 2026

Median Sold Price: $755,000
Months of Inventory: 3.57
Sold‑to‑List Price Ratio: 101.1 percent
Median Days in RPR: 27

Rockland County continues to be the fastest-moving market in the region. Homes are selling in 27 days on average, which is a sharp drop from the previous month. Since buyers are moving quickly, sellers are receiving strong offers. The sold-to-list ratio of 101.1 percent shows that many homes are selling above asking.

Although inventory increased 7.85 percent, demand remains strong. Because of this, sellers who price confidently and prepare their homes well often see immediate interest.

Key takeaway: The first week on the market is critical. A strong launch leads to a strong closing.


Sussex County NJ Housing Market – June 2026

Median Sold Price: $477,500
Months of Inventory: 2.72
Sold‑to‑List Price Ratio: 103.7 percent
Median Days in RPR: 20

Sussex County remains one of the most competitive markets in this report. Prices increased 7.91 percent, and inventory remains tight at 2.72 months. Homes are selling in only 20 days, and buyers are paying above asking at an average of 103.7 percent.

Inventory rose 11.93 percent, yet new listings are being absorbed quickly. This shows that demand is still outpacing supply.

Key takeaway: Sellers have leverage, but success depends on pricing, timing and presentation.

Passaic County NJ Housing Market – June 2026

Median Sold Price: $585,000
Months of Inventory: 2.92
Sold‑to‑List Price Ratio: 104.5 percent
Median Days in RPR: 21

Passaic County leads the region in competitiveness. The sold-to-list ratio of 104.5 percent shows that buyers are consistently offering above asking. Homes are selling in 21 days, and inventory increased 15.87 percent. Even with more homes available, demand remains strong enough to keep prices rising.

Because buyers are acting quickly, sellers who prepare their homes well often receive multiple offers. Homes that are not positioned correctly may sit long enough to raise concerns.

Key takeaway: This is the strongest seller environment in the report, but strategy still determines the outcome.

Is It a Good Time to Sell in NY or NJ?

Across all four counties, the June 2026 data shows a seller‑leaning market, but with rising inventory, the advantage is shifting slowly.

Sellers who win right now are those who:

  • Use current market data to price accurately
  • Present their home at its best
  • Work with a local expert who understands county‑level trends

Pricing strategy, market timing, and listing preparation matter more than ever.
