New Jersey has always been a competitive market for fix-and-flip properties, particularly in areas like Newark, Jersey City, and Paterson. With the rise of new development and gentrification in key neighborhoods, investors must be savvy to find profitable opportunities. This post delves into what’s working and what’s not in New Jersey’s fix-and-flip market as we move into 2025.
Market Overview
Newark: The median home price has surged by 12% over the past year, with many older homes ripe for renovation. However, higher construction costs and zoning restrictions may pose challenges for investors.
Jersey City: As Jersey City continues to gentrify, demand for high-end properties has increased. However, investors may face steep competition from larger developers, which could drive up property prices.
