CURRENT MARKET READ

September Market Report: More Inventory, Resilient Demand

LISTING ACTIVITY September 2026 Closed-sales data through September 2026

Monmouth County’s listing market is showing more available inventory and increasing price sensitivity, while demand remains resilient. The seasonal easing in activity is broadly within the range of recent seasonal patterns.

FOR SELLERS

What sellers should know

Pricing and positioning matter more as inventory and the share of price-reduced listings rise. Recent closed-sale results varied by property type, with single-family homes receiving 100.9% of list price on average and taking 31 days until sale, while townhouse-condo and adult-community results were more moderate.

FOR BUYERS

What buyers should know

Buyers have more active listings to consider, but pending listings remain above last year, so demand has not disappeared. Compare properties carefully and be prepared to act on well-positioned homes, particularly where recent closed sales show buyers paying close to or above list price.
