Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Carteret home values in this rolling three-month view are moderately higher than a year ago, with the typical home value up about 2 percent. Asking prices are rising faster, as the median list price is up a little over 4 percent year over year. Inventory has expanded by about 20 percent compared with the same period last year, giving buyers more options than they had before.
In the latest three-month period ending in May 2026, the typical home value sits around $560,000 while the median list price is slightly higher at about $573,000, suggesting sellers still have some pricing power. Homes are taking significantly longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market at 82 days and months of supply up to 6, indicating a more balanced environment even though the market gauge still leans toward sellers.
Sales activity has cooled compared with last year, as homes sold are down nearly 19 percent year over year even though new listings have risen more than 16 percent. Despite the slower pace, nearly half of recent sales still closed above asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 102 percent, showing that well-priced homes can still attract strong offers. With these shifting dynamics in Carteret, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands the current numbers and local trends.
