Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Highland Lake real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
The typical home value in Highland Lake is projected to be $320,000 for the month of February. January’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $345,000—up 5.67% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $395,000 in Sussex County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $382,500 in February.
Highland Lake had 8 new listings and 6 listings that went under contract in January, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 16—down 0.0% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in February.
Of those 16 active listings, 18.75% reduced their price in the month of January. The median listing price for homes in Highland Lake fell 9.95% from December to January, bringing the current median listing price to $294,450. Based on projected data for February, listing prices may continue to fall.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In January 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 48 days, compared to 73 days in January 2025. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be rising. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this February.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Highland Lake offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community, abundant outdoor recreation, convenient local amenities, and opportunities to connect.
Highland Lake stands apart from nearby spots like Vernon Township and West Milford with its intimate lakeside setting and strong sense of shared ownership in the community. Many homes have close access to the water, and daily life often revolves around the lake itself, from quiet morning paddles to neighborhood gatherings along the shoreline.
Residents enjoy a low-key pace with easy access to outdoor recreation. The private Highland Lakes Country Club and Community Association manages beaches, boating, and seasonal events, fostering close connections among neighbors. Nearby, Wawayanda State Park and Hamburg Mountain Wildlife Management Area offer hiking, fishing, and year round nature access, while winter sports at Mountain Creek Resort are just a short drive away. Daily needs are met in surrounding towns, with broader shopping and services in Sussex County.
Families appreciate the local public schools, including Vernon Township High School, and community resources such as the Vernon Township Public Library support both lifelong learners and remote professionals. Dining and casual hangouts in nearby Warwick and Franklin add variety without overwhelming the quiet lake lifestyle.
In a market as specific as Highland Lake, timing and preparation are crucial. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands seasonal demand and lake community regulations, helping both buyers and sellers move confidently.
