Part of deal of the week is still moving faster than the national picture

Real estate, deal of the week

🏡🏡 Realtor.com reported a national median of 61 days on market for the week ending October 10, 2026. Parts of this market are moving in less than half that time. That gap matters whether you are buying or selling right now.

How fast each ZIP code moved

These are Real Estate Data Aggregator counts for the three months ending August 31, 2026. Not every ZIP code tells the same story.

ZIP 08722 was the fastest at 18 days, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. ZIP 08734 came in at 20 days, and ZIPs 08731 and 08005 each hit 21 days. That is well under the 61-day national figure Realtor.com reported.

ZIP 08758 was the slowest at 48 days. Even so, that is still faster than the national picture.

In ZIP 08734, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 59% of homes selling above list price. That is the highest share of any ZIP in this market. Days on market there dropped 8 days shorter than the same period in 2025.

In ZIP 08722, more than half of homes, 51.5%, sold above list price. The sale-to-list ratio was 100.5%, meaning sellers got a little more than they asked on average.

The wider market: more choices, but also more pressure

Across all ten ZIP codes together, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 1,386 homes for sale in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 13% from the same months of 2025. Buyers have more to look at.

More homes for sale is good news for buyers. For sellers, it means more competition. Pricing and preparation matter more when buyers have options.

Freddie Mac put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% as of October 15, 2026. That keeps monthly costs high for buyers and adds pressure on sellers to price carefully.

Not every ZIP moved the same way

ZIP 08757 had 46.5% more homes for sale than a year ago, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Days on market there grew 5 days longer. The share of homes selling above list fell 8.9 points.

ZIP 08755 saw median sale price dip 8.4% compared to the same months of 2025. Not every part of this market moved in the same direction.

One street can read very differently from the ZIP code around it. These numbers cover whole ZIP codes, not individual blocks or neighborhoods.

In short
  1. The fastest parts of this market closed in 18 to 24 days, well under the 61-day national figure Realtor.com reported for the week ending October 10, 2026. But supply is up 13% across the market, and some ZIPs are taking longer and seeing softer prices.
  2. Where your home sits makes all the difference.
