Year over year, Cape May County’s typical home value has inched up a few percent, landing above the statewide median. Listing prices, on the other hand, are down from last June, signaling some softening on the asking side. Inventory has also slipped compared to a year ago, even as New Jersey overall is seeing more homes for sale.
In the latest June snapshot, the typical home value and the median list price are closely aligned, suggesting sellers are pricing near what buyers are willing to pay. Months of supply has fallen by roughly a quarter from last year, sitting in the mid–3 month range and pointing to a neutral balance between buyers and sellers.
Sales activity looks steady, with homes sold only slightly below last year while new listings are down more sharply, which helps explain why inventory has tightened. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, yet the median days on market just dropped notably from May, and only a modest share are selling above list with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent. Compared with the broader New Jersey market, Cape May County shows higher typical values but less year-over-year price growth and fewer active listings.
