A four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home at 22 Bryant Place in Westwood, New Jersey sold for $1.7 million on October 27, 2026, making it the highest recorded residential sale in the town on the NJMLS, according to a release from the listing broker’s representatives. Max Stokes of Keller Williams represented both the buyer and the seller, the release says.
Why it matters
The house was listed August 20 at $1.649 million and spent 26 days on the market, the broker’s representative says. It closed about $51,000, or 3.1%, above that ask. The 3,067-square-foot house was built in 2020 and last sold for $885,000 that year, so the price is about 92% higher, or roughly $554 per square foot.

Westwood, in Bergen County about 25 miles northwest of New York City, is known for lower prices than nearby Ridgewood. The release says most homes there trade between $600,000 and $700,000, so this sale landed at more than double that range.
Stokes attributes the price to condition. “Buyers are willing to pay a premium for homes where the work has already been done,” he says. The house was renovated and turnkey, he says, and “buyers are putting a real dollar value on not having to renovate.”
He says buyers who first looked at Ridgewood and other nearby towns are now taking Westwood seriously, helped by a walkable downtown, train service to New York and prices that go further than in some surrounding towns. The downtown includes restaurants, cafes, a bookstore, a wine bar and a local brewery, Five Dimes.
He cautions against reading too much into one sale. “I wouldn’t say one sale changes an entire market,” he says, but it “demonstrates what’s possible.” Homes that need major work or are overpriced can sit, he says, while well-presented, correctly priced homes still draw multiple offers. His team marketed the house before its official launch, which he says helped build the competition behind the final price.
Stokes is a New Jersey certified appraiser, a licensed real estate title producer and president of the Ho-Ho-Kus Chamber of Commerce, per the release.
