Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Highland Lakes real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
The typical home value in Highland Lakes is projected to be $236,850 for the month of March. February’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $272,900—down 0.76% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $408,500 in Sussex County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $415,250 in March.
Highland Lakes had 6 new listings and 8 listings that went under contract in February, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 14—down 17.65% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in March.
Of those 14 active listings, 28.57% reduced their price in the month of February. The median listing price for homes in Highland Lakes grew 63.86% from January to February, bringing the current median listing price to $482,500. Based on projected data for March, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose year-over-year. In February 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 45 days, compared to 32 days in February 2025. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be steady. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this March.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Highland Lakes offers residents a close-knit community with beautiful lakes, abundant outdoor recreation, and convenient access to amenities in a peaceful, scenic setting.
Highland Lakes immediately feels different from nearby destinations like Vernon or Sussex. Centered around a chain of private lakes with wooded hillsides and winding local roads, it has a strong sense of resident ownership and community involvement that shapes daily life and property values.
The area revolves around membership in the Highland Lakes Country Club and Community Association, which manages beaches, boating, and year round activities. Summer days are often spent at the club’s waterfronts or at nearby Wawayanda State Park, where residents hike, paddle, or cross country ski. Families appreciate access to Lounsberry Hollow School and Glen Meadow Middle School in the Vernon Township district, as well as local programming at the Vernon Township Library.
Although Highland Lakes feels secluded, everyday needs are close. Dining and errands often center around McAfee and Hamburg, with bigger shopping and services in Newton. Commuters frequently connect through Warwick toward Orange County or south toward Rockaway and the interstate corridors.
Because homes range from seasonal cottages to year round lakefronts, timing and preparation are crucial. Whether you are getting a property market ready or hoping to secure the right house before summer, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Highland Lakes real estate professional who understands the community and can guide both buyers and sellers with confidence.
