A clear read on how current pricing and supply shape the next move.

If you are deciding how to approach Ridgewood, NY right now, the first question is whether the market gives you room to move with confidence. I would treat 6.5 months of inventory in March 2026 as a signal to stay selective and disciplined, especially if you are weighing a purchase or a sale.
March 2026 inventory sat at 6.5 months in Ridgewood, NY. That puts the market in buyer's territory, and I would not rush a decision just because a listing looks polished. The April 2026 median estimated property value was $830,990, while the March 2026 median list price was $1,100,000. For me, that spread matters because it tells a buyer to focus on value, not just the asking number. It also tells a seller to pay close attention to positioning, since the current pricing picture is not one where every home will command the same response. I would start by comparing any home against recent asking levels, not against wishful pricing. I would also keep negotiations grounded in the market type, because Ridgewood, NY is not giving away leverage to either side in a casual way.
