CURRENT MARKET READ

More Inventory, Steady Asking Prices in Monmouth County

LISTING ACTIVITY August 2026 Closed-sales data through July 2026

August listing-market data show active inventory rising while the median asking price held at $829,000 over three months and remained above last year. Price reductions reached 11.15%, while pending listings remained above last year; the signals indicate normal seasonal easing alongside resilient demand.

FOR SELLERS

What sellers should know

With active inventory higher and median days on market at 44, pricing and presentation deserve careful attention. Monitor early buyer response and be prepared to reassess strategy if activity is limited; the median listing price reflects asking prices, not home values or closed-sale prices.

FOR BUYERS

What buyers should know

Higher active inventory may provide more choices, while pending listings remained 5.96% above last year. Compare homes individually and keep property type in mind: July closed-sale data showed median days on market of 31 for single-family homes, 28 for townhouse-condos, and 35 for adult-community homes.
