Englewood Cliffs enjoys a very close proximity to New York City and a lower tax rate than many Bergen County towns (along with other towns such as Alpine, Saddle River, & Paramus).

The stark reality for buyers & sellers (not a sales pitch or fear mongering!) :

 

If you're considering purchasing a Bergen County home, be mindful that
mortgage lending standards are continuing to tighten (if you'll be
applying for financing). There is current legislation that will make it
even more difficult to qualify for a mortgage. Now may be the best time
to buy or move up.

 

If you’re thinking about selling your Bergen County home in the near future, sooner may be better than later, since an extensive amount of distressed properties will be hitting the market this fall & winter (depending upon your specific location, of course). This will undoubtedly cause further downward pressure on market values... That means ALL values will be affected for the near future.

Add to this, the tightening purchase money market for buyers lessening
demand further and, well... Sooner is most likely better.
