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.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we hear personal stories from residents <a href=\"https://truetrae.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trae Bodge </a>and <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/michaelandrewsbespoke/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Cory Sylvester of Michael Andrews Bespoke.</a> We speak to realtors <a href=\"https://www.kwnjmetrogroup.com/agent/heather-kandawire/https://www.kwnjmetrogroup.com/agent/heather-kandawire/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Heather Kandawire of Keller Williams</a> and <a href=\"https://www.compass.com/agents/jillian-nolan/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jillian Nolan of Compass</a> and finally, we hear from local architect <a href=\"https://www.courtneyrombough.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Courtney Rombough.</a></p><p><br></p><p>Additional References:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.njmls.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">New Jersey MLS&nbsp;</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.redfin.com/city/35939/NJ/Montclair/housing-market\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Montclair Real Estate Prices and Stats&nbsp;</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/launch-party-for-the-montclair-pod-tickets-1232173376739?aff=oddtdtcreator\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">RSVP for our launch party at Tierney’s!</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>The Montclair Pod’s theme is adapted from <a href=\"http://www.thebardband.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The BARD Band’s</a> “Angels Got His Back” from the album of the same name, which is available on all streaming platforms.  </p>","author_name":"Montclair Pod LLC"}
