Days on Market: How to Use It Like a Pro in Jersey City & Hoboken

DOM (Days on Market) is one of the cleanest signals in Hudson County. Read it right and you’ll time offers better, negotiate smarter, and avoid traps.

What DOM really measures

DOM tracks exposure time from list to contract. In Jersey City and Hoboken, well-prepared listings that are priced to closed comps usually move fast; stale listings often reflect price, access, or condition.

Smart buyer moves

• 0–10 days: Expect competition; write clean terms and be decisive if it’s the one.

• 11–20 days: Signals soften; ask about traffic, feedback themes, and seller timing.

• 21+ days: Probe for fixable issues; structure value via credits or price improvement.

Seller takeaways

• Front-load access and media—momentum lives in week one.

• If signals lag by day 14, adjust price/presentation quickly.

How we help: We run pocket-level dashboards for PATH-adjacent blocks and historic housing stock, so you can distinguish “overlooked opportunity” from “problem listing.”
