Inventory in Atlantic County is building, with about 1,996 active listings in September and a year-over-year increase of just over 10 percent. New listings are also up compared with last year, while homes sold have risen around 6 percent. Even with more choices, pending sales are up sharply year over year, showing that buyers are still stepping in and putting properties under contract.
Home values are edging higher, with the typical home value up a little more than 2 percent from a year ago and roughly 5 percent in the past month. Compared with New Jersey overall, Atlantic County’s typical values remain lower, which can attract buyers looking for relative affordability. Months of supply sits near 4.4, noticeably higher than the state’s 3.5 months, which aligns with the area’s neutral market reading and gives both sides a bit more room to negotiate.
Homes are taking less time to sell than they did a year ago, with median days on market down about 9 percent to 69 days. Roughly one in five properties still sells above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio hovers near 97 percent, suggesting sellers must price accurately but can still achieve strong results.
