Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Highlands is currently tilted strongly toward sellers, with the market gauge firmly in seller’s market territory. Extremely limited supply of about a third of a month and only eight active listings, combined with near-total demand absorption, help explain this tight balance.
Home values in the latest rolling three-month period are up sharply, with the typical home value rising more than 30 percent year over year to just over $3.1 million. List prices have also climbed at a double-digit pace compared with a year ago, while the average sale-to-list ratio has pushed above 107 percent, and every recorded sale closed above the asking price.
On the activity side, homes are moving quickly, spending a median of only six days on the market in the current three-month window, slightly faster than a year ago and much faster than earlier this year. Even as new listings and pending sales are down notably year over year, the share of homes selling above list price has roughly doubled, underscoring intense competition, and both buyers and sellers can rely on Agent Pronto to connect them with an agent who understands how to navigate these conditions.
Learn more about what Highlands has to offer.
Highlands offers residents a close-knit community, scenic natural surroundings, and convenient access to outdoor recreation and essential services that support a balanced, active lifestyle.
Highlands sits at the tip of the Sandy Hook peninsula, offering residents a rare mix of bay and ocean access, small-town scale, and straightforward connections to larger job centers. New York City commuters often rely on the nearby Seastreak Ferry, while local routes and highways link Highlands with Middletown and the rest of Monmouth County.
Daily life here is shaped by the water. Locals enjoy harbor views from spots like Proving Ground Waterfront Dining and relaxed weekends at the Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area. The Highlands Municipal Website keeps residents informed about services, recycling, and community events, making it easier to handle practical details.
Recreation is a major advantage. Bikers and runners head to the nearby Henry Hudson Trail, while families appreciate the library programs at the Highlands Branch of the Monmouth County Library. Dining ranges from casual seafood to cafes ideal for remote work, and essential errands are manageable without traveling far.
Housing in Highlands includes compact condos, single family homes, and multi level properties that maximize views. Flood zones, elevation, and parking can affect both value and insurance, so a local agent’s insight is crucial. Whether you are weighing a move to Highlands or considering selling, Agent Pronto connects you with an agent who knows the community, reducing stress and helping you navigate each step with confidence.

“Payal is a good person, very supportive and communicative. She always makes time to interact and showed me many places before I found "the one", and I wouldn't have found it without her. She is knowledgeable and trustworthy.”
“I am extremely satisfied with Kim and Alex's work as my selling agents for my home in San Jose. Their collaborative approach resulted in an exceptional outcome. Kim and Alex expertly guided me through the entire home preparation and selling process. Their General Contractor, landscapers and cleaner meticulously prepared my home for market, maximizing its appeal and value. I particularly appreciated Alex's keen eye for detail in overseeing the renovations, including paint, fixtures and appliance selections, ensuring the property presented its best to potential buyers. I found the flexible payment options for the renovation work extremely accommodating. Throughout the process, Kim and Alex consistently demonstrated extraordinary communication and professionalism. They patiently addressed all my questions and concerns, providing clear explanations and valuable insights. They consistently prioritized my needs and allowed me ample time to make informed decisions without any pressure. Several times they sensed I was uncertain or anxious about selling. Alex and Kim scheduled calls to clearly listen to my concerns. Kim was great on these calls. She had an amazing sense of my concern and asked questions to better understand the situation, then she and Alex would provide examples & options for me to consider. I enthusiastically recommend Kim and Alex to anyone considering selling or buying a home.”

Tony is the absolute gold standard of professionalism; he treats everyone with the utmost respect and brings exceptional market knowledge and sharp negotiation skills to the table. He does deep research into local communities and stays entirely up-to-date on market trends. His communication style is flawless—he is always available via phone, text, or email whenever you need him. Most recently, Tony helped my elderly parents sell their home. His endless patience and care were remarkable. He even went above and beyond by attending the final signing at the escrow office in person just to provide an extra pair of eyes and ensure any last-minute questions were answered. Having his presence there brought our family immense comfort. If you want a knowledgeable, dedicated, and deeply respectful agent who goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Tony!”
