Where Nutley sits this month
Reporting September 2026 · trailing 12 mo through August · 163 GSMLS sales · mediansStill a seller's market. Homes move fast and over ask, and 2026 is running ~6% ahead of last year. But the town median hides a 12–20% spread between elementary zones — where your home sits shapes the number as much as the month does. Every figure here traces to a closed sale on a real Nutley address.
Real results, in their words.
Eric & Kathryn readevery message themselves.
I HIGHLY recommend the DeSilva team to sell or buy a home! Eric went above and beyond during the selling of my Mom's house. His knowledge and professionalism is outstanding! This was an emotional process as it was my childhood home, and Eric was there for me and my family every step of the way. Thanks to Eric the house sold very quickly and the process was seamless. Thank you, Eric!
I cannot say enough great things about the DeSilva Team! Eric found us our dream home and sold our old one almost instantly — calm, patient, and knowledgeable, he makes a stressful process feel easy. He even referred us to the best attorney and lender. Simply the best in the business!
The DeSilva Team made selling incredibly smooth and stress-free. Eric's market knowledge and responsiveness stood out — always available, clear, and genuinely invested in finding the right buyer. I successfully sold my home and couldn't be happier.

Nutley is five neighborhoods,
not one market.
Why we don't use bots.
A Zestimate prices off auto-matched comps, square footage, and a stale photo. It can't see your kitchen vintage, your finished basement, or the 12–20% delta between elementary zones in the same town. So we build the brief by hand.
