“Working with Jennifer Cardinal was an amazing experience from start to finish. She made the entire process feel very personal, always taking the time to understand our needs and guide us every step of the way. Jennifer ensured that everything went smoothly, and her professionalism combined with her warm approach made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Very knowledgeable, helpful and trustworthy. She sold house quickly and was there for us. I would recommend.”
“Julia was an excellent sales agent. Very professional & understanding of our needs. Was always available to talk at all times. Very helpful tips when evaluating a property.”
“When we decided to sell our home in New Jersey and make the big move to Texas, we knew it was going to be a huge undertaking. Thankfully, we had Camille by our side—not just as our realtor, but as our friend. From the very first conversation, she made us feel confident and supported, walking us through each step with patience, warmth, and expertise. Camille knows the real estate world inside and out, and it shows. She was always quick to answer our calls and messages, no matter how many questions we had (and we had a lot!). Her answers weren’t just fast—they were confident, clear, and exactly what we needed to hear to keep moving forward without stress. Camille isn’t just a realtor who gets the job done—she’s someone who truly cares about the people she works with. We’re beyond grateful for her professionalism, dedication, and friendship, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Frank was amazing, he listened to my needs and ensured that he heard me and I felt heard, not just listened to. I asked for and he gave recommendations based on what my needs were as a client. He went above and beyond and I truly appreciated the attention to detail. Thanks so much Frank, you rock!”
“Throughout our home-buying process Susan was incredibly communicative. She promptly answered calls and emails, keeping us informed about every development. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Rob did well in preparing us for the sale. He understood our needs and time restraints we were under. Whenever we call him, he either anwsered at once or returned the call ASAP. He kept us in the loop at all times, providing an understanding of the next steps. Robert was professional at all times.”
“Maureen was professional and responded immediately to questions and concerns. She was friendly and easy to work with.”
“Mary Ann understood what I wanted and found just the right home! I could not be happier with the price we paid. She helped get us a credit after the inspection showed plumbing issues. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home.”
“To whom it my concern, It is our immense pleasure to recommend Viola Salvato as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. Viola had an initial meeting with us regarding our specific needs in a home as well as our budgetary limits. She is highly talented and immediately found us numerous listings of homes. She did not waste our time with homes that were not in line with our needs. Viola is a master with contract negotiation she came up with a deal that was good for us as well as making the seller happy. She knows the area like the back of her hand and there is nothing that escapes her attention when it comes to properties for sale in this area. We found Viola to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She also is highly personable with an engaging personality. She is hands down the best!”

“Hello, We were out of state in New Hampshire quickly looking for a home in New Jersey. We found the listing for the property and made contact with Bryan. As we looked at other properties as well Bryan was very accommodating in meeting up with my Son to view the property. Bryan went above and beyond with video-facetime-flexible schedules and answered all questions that eventually played a role in our final decision. I have worked with many realtors in the past on our home purchases and sales and by far Bryan has been one of the best! You truly have a special broker on your team. When we are ready to purchase our next home Bryan will be the first call we make. One of the nicest professional realtors we have ever had the pleasure of working with.”
“Martin's support and guidance made possible the sale of my property in very challenging circumstances. His professional demeanor was critical to land the closing.”
“Extremely helpful and professional. Able to handle every obstacle that came up. A pleasure to work with.”
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Highland Lakes real estate market, updated for September 2025. *
The typical home value in Highland Lakes is projected to be $393,750 for the month of September. August’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $342,500—up 15.73% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $440,000 in Sussex County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $440,000 in September.
Highland Lakes had 10 new listings and 12 listings that went under contract in August, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 22—down 8.33% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in September.
Of those 22 active listings, 13.64% reduced their price in the month of August. The median listing price for homes in Highland Lakes grew 11.45% from July to August, bringing the current median listing price to $389,950. Based on projected data for September, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In August 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 32 days, compared to 45 days in August 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be decreasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this September.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
