Year-Over-Year Comparison

What This Means

Montclair's housing market is firing on all cylinders this March, and the numbers tell a compelling story of momentum. Sales volume has doubled month-over-month, jumping from 5 to 11 homes, while the median price surged nearly 40 percent to $800,000. Homes are also moving faster, with days on market dropping from 98 to just 69. This acceleration likely reflects the typical spring buying season kicking in, combined with what appears to be genuine market confidence—buyers aren't sitting on the fence, and sellers are getting close to asking price at 97.9 percent of list.

The year-over-year gains reinforce this positive trend, with median prices up 28 percent from March 2025 and sales volume climbing 10 percent. However, there's an interesting counterpoint worth noting: active listings have grown to 31 units, which is relatively healthy inventory for a market this hot. The gap between asking prices for active listings (median $579,000) and what homes are actually selling for ($800,000) suggests newer inventory may not yet reflect current market reality, or that the active listings skew toward multi-family and entry-level properties.

For sellers, conditions remain favorable. For buyers, the message is clear: spring competition is fierce, and waiting likely means paying more or settling for less.
