Cape May County home values have climbed sharply over the past year, up 42.86 percent, far outpacing the 2.72 percent gain across New Jersey. Typical homes here are valued around $800,000 compared with $540,200 statewide. Even with that strong yearly rise, values dipped month over month, signaling a bit of cooling after a rapid run-up.
In February 2026, the median list price reached about $849,999 while homes typically spent 76 days on the market, down more than 22 percent from a year earlier. Buyers saw more time and options than in a red-hot market, with 853 homes for sale and 6.5 months of supply suggesting conditions balanced between buyers and sellers. Roughly 12.9 percent of listings took a price cut and about 14.5 percent of sales closed above asking, supported by an average sale-to-list ratio just under 0.98.
Looking ahead to March 2026, projections show typical values easing to about $770,000 even as the projected median list price edges up to roughly $863,773 and inventory holds near 851 homes. New listings and pending sales are both down more than one third from last year, so buyers may notice fewer fresh options while sellers face more selective demand.
