Highlands real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Highlands real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Highlands is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 40 indicating they still hold the advantage. Homes typically sell in about 14 days, and roughly two-thirds of recent sales closed above the list price, supported by an average sale-to-list ratio just over 1.02.
Prices are holding relatively steady, with a typical home value of about $595,000, closely aligned with a median list price of $590,000 in March 2026. Even with year-over-year home values flat, a month-over-month increase of 1.54 percent and a projected typical value of $599,500 suggest pricing is edging upward while Monmouth County as a whole sits higher at $726,500.
Inventory dynamics help explain the seller-leaning conditions, as Highlands had only 16 homes for sale and 19 new listings, equal to about 2.7 months of supply despite inventory jumping 220 percent month over month but still down 36 percent from last year. With pending sales down 60 percent year over year, projected inventory rising to 21, and median days on market still 58.82 percent lower than a year ago, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting trends.

Learn more about what Highlands has to offer.
Highlands offers a close-knit community, beautiful waterfront views, ample outdoor recreation, and convenient access to shops, schools, and cultural activities that enrich everyday life.
Highlands sits at the northern edge of the Jersey Shore, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Sandy Hook Bay, offering quick access to beaches, marinas, and parks. Commuters appreciate the high-speed Seastreak ferry to Manhattan, while local routes connect easily to nearby Atlantic Highlands and Middletown for shopping and services.
Daily life in Highlands feels practical and connected. Residents enjoy waterfront dining at spots like One Willow and casual coffee runs before heading to nearby employment centers. Outdoor options are a major draw, from hiking and panoramic views at Mt. Mitchill Scenic Overlook to biking and beaches at Gateway National Recreation Area at Sandy Hook. Families make use of local schools that feed into Henry Hudson Regional School, while the Highlands Borough public library and community events keep the small town engaged year-round.
Housing options range from compact bungalows and townhouses to elevated new construction designed with storm resilience in mind. Given the coastal setting, understanding flood zones, elevation requirements, and local zoning is essential. A knowledgeable Highlands agent can explain neighborhood differences, parking rules, and peak-season traffic patterns so you can plan daily life confidently.

“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!”
