What These Numbers Mean for Rutherford Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Rutherford market where pricing power and time on market are pulling in different directions. The median sale price sits at $812,093, a +35.0% move year over year, while median time to contract has shifted to 62 days, a +5 days change in market time. Read together, those two signals tell a more nuanced story than either does alone: buyers are paying more per property, but they are also taking longer to commit, which widens the window for negotiation on listings that linger.
The competitive indicators clarify where leverage actually sits. With 59.7% of homes selling above asking and an average sale-to-list ratio of 104.04%, well-priced and well-presented homes still clear at or over list. At the same time, 47.9% of listings leave the market within two weeks while 10.7% eventually cut their price, a split that separates correctly priced inventory from aspirational pricing. At 3.4 months of supply against 60 active listings and 18 monthly sales, conditions remain tilted toward sellers but no longer reward overreaching list prices.
For a buyer, the practical takeaway is to move decisively on fresh, sharply priced listings but to hold firm and negotiate on anything past the two-week mark. For a seller, accurate initial pricing matters more than ever, since the properties that draw quick, above-list offers are the ones that never needed a reduction. With 309 licensed agents active in Rutherford, choosing representation that understands these dynamics is the difference between naming the right price and chasing the market down.

What to Look for in a Rutherford Realtor
Name recognition and marketing spend are not the same as measured results, so it pays to look at an agent's actual transaction record and how their listings perform against local benchmarks. On EffectiveAgents, Daniel Simone at Keller Williams ranks at the top of the Rutherford market, with 610 career transactions and $322.4M in all-time sales volume. That depth matters in a market where the average sale-to-list ratio is 104.04% and 59.7% of homes close above asking: negotiating either side of a deal in the 07070 zip code requires reading which listings will draw competing offers and which will sit long enough to justify a lower bid. An agent who has managed hundreds of closings has seen both outcomes repeatedly and prices accordingly. Rutherford is served by 309 licensed agents, of whom 73 meet the EffectiveAgents ranking threshold based on verified transaction and review data. When reviewing candidates, look past the total review count to the pattern within it: consistency across many closings is a stronger signal than a handful of standout comments.
How We Rank Rutherford Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Rutherford market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Rutherford Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Rutherford, NJ?
Based on EffectiveAgents data, Daniel Simone at Keller Williams ranks as the top agent in Rutherford, NJ, with 610 career transactions and $322.4M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using verified transaction history, closing performance, and client reviews rather than advertising presence, analyzing 164 local transactions to identify 73 qualifying agents out of 309 licensed in the market.

How were these Rutherford real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Rutherford?
Our data covers 309 real estate agents serving the Rutherford area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Rutherford market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Rutherford mean for sellers?
Rutherford's median sale price is $812,093 as of July 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Rutherford?
In Rutherford, the median home sells in about 62 days, a +5 days change in market time compared with a year ago. That figure measures the midpoint from listing to signed contract, and the actual timeline varies with pricing, condition, and location. Sharply priced, move-in-ready homes often draw offers quickly, with 47.9% of listings leaving the market within two weeks, while overpriced homes can linger and eventually require a reduction, as 10.7% of listings do. Add several more weeks for closing after a contract is signed.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Rutherford realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Rutherford agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Rutherford neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Rutherford realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Rutherford in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
