Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Highlands currently shows a seller’s market, with the market gauge at 18 and only 2.1 months of supply in this rolling three‑month view. Homes are also pricing firmly, as the typical home value sits around $694,000 and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 102 percent.
Looking at demand, roughly 46 percent of recent sales closed above list price, and about 44 percent of homes went off the market within two weeks. At the same time, homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market up sharply to 24 days, signaling that buyers may have a bit more time to make decisions even as sellers retain pricing power.
On the activity side, homes sold over the latest three months are up about 11 percent year over year, and new listings have risen by a similar share, creating more options without tipping the balance away from sellers. Active listings are still down compared with last year, which keeps overall inventory relatively tight. Whether you want to compete effectively as a buyer or capitalize on strong values as a seller, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who understands these Highlands trends and how to navigate them.
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.

“Selling my condo felt overwhelming at first, but working with Tina Torres made the entire process smooth and successful from start to finish. Her professionalism, knowledge, communication and dedication were truly outstanding. Tina was always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and worked incredibly hard to make sure everything stayed on track.

“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!”
