Home base. I’ve priced this township block by block for eight years — and I live here.
Below $800K, the buyer pool is deep and hungry — 19 of 23 homes sold over ask in July. Price it right and you start a competition. Above $800K, the same market goes quiet: just 1 of 5 cleared list.
The public record tells the same story. 18 Irving Place listed at $899,000 and closed at $802,000 after twenty-two days — not my listing, and I don’t know that seller’s story. But across the band, that’s the July pattern: above $800K, ambitious list prices haven’t been turning into sale-price premiums.
If you’re selling a Nutley home anywhere near that line, the number you pick decides whether you run a frenzy or chase the market down. That’s the conversation I want to have before you list.
NJ Transit buses run the Franklin Avenue corridor to the Port Authority; the Montclair-Boonton rail line sits a short drive away in the adjoining towns. Roughly nine miles from Manhattan.
Early-twentieth-century colonials and capes on tree-lined blocks, plus a deep two-family market that draws both owner-occupants and investors.
The everyday errands — coffee, dinner, the pharmacy — sit along one walkable commercial spine rather than a highway strip.
Essex County. I’ll show you where your assessment lands against real Nutley sales — and whether a Chapter 123 appeal is worth filing.
Redfin started showing daycare and preschool options on every listing in August 2026 (via a new partnership with Winnie) — recognition that housing and childcare together can eat over half a family’s income in expensive markets nationally. I don’t have a verified Nutley childcare directory built yet, so the honest move is the same one I’d take with pricing: check real, current options at Winnie or NJ’s state-licensed provider search before you commit to a block.
I’ll pull your block’s real closed sales and show you exactly where your home sits against that $800K math — before you ever set a price.
