Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Carteret’s rolling three-month data through June 2026 points to steady price growth over the past year. Typical home values are up slightly year over year, while the median list price has climbed a bit faster, indicating sellers are testing higher price points. Inventory has expanded compared with last year, giving buyers more options than they had before.
In the latest rolling period, there were 104 active listings, with 65 new listings entering the market and 54 homes going under contract. Months of supply has risen sharply to 5.3, up significantly from a year ago, signaling a shift toward more balanced conditions even though the area still leans toward sellers.
Homes are taking longer to sell than last year, with a median of 72 days on market in the most recent three-month window, though that is down from earlier in 2026. Just over half of homes are selling above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio of about 103 percent shows that well-priced homes still attract strong offers. With 37 homes sold in this period and a seller’s market designation, both pricing strategy and timing matter. Buyers navigating more choices and sellers aiming to stand out can use Agent Pronto to connect with a local Carteret agent who understands these trends.

Commuters benefit from access to the Turnpike and bus routes into Newark and Manhattan, with ongoing waterfront and ferry related planning highlighted by the Borough of Carteret as part of its redevelopment efforts.

“There are great realtors, and then there is Julieann. She guided us through every step of selling our home and purchasing our new one with unmatched professionalism, expertise, and genuine compassion. Her strategic advice on what to repair—and what not to—helped us sell significantly above asking. She went far beyond expectations by helping us spackle, hiring a stager at her own expense, providing furniture to showcase our home, and even working with the township to keep permits on schedule. Julieann was always available by text or email, calming our fears and solving every obstacle. Most importantly, she truly cares about her clients, treating us like family. The birthday cards she has sent us over the years reflect the thoughtful person she is. Julieann is not only an extraordinary realtor but an extraordinary human being. We recommend her without hesitation! Sincerely, Bonnie and Matt Sorkin”
