On today's episode: Montclair’s real estate market feels more like The Hunger Games—with buyers battling in fierce bidding wars for limited homes, only to be priced out or forced to walk away. In this episode, we break down the sky-high prices, low inventory, and the relentless competition that defines the market. We also explore the charm—and challenges—of Montclair’s historic architecture, where 100-year-old homes demand costly renovations to fit modern needs. But the market’s shortcomings don’t stop there—Montclair also faces a critical lack of housing options for its aging population, leaving longtime residents with few choices to downsize or stay in the community. Whether you're a buyer, seller, or just curious about the town’s shifting real estate landscape, this deep dive is one you won’t want to miss.
In this episode, we hear personal stories from residents Trae Bodge and Cory Sylvester of Michael Andrews Bespoke. We speak to realtors Heather Kandawire of Keller Williams and Jillian Nolan of Compass and finally, we hear from local architect Courtney Rombough.
