Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Monmouth County real estate market. *
August 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Year-over-year trends in Monmouth County point to steady price growth and tight conditions. The typical home value is up about 4% compared to last year, outpacing the statewide gain of a little over 2%. Homes sold have risen more than 6% year over year even as pending sales are down about 8%, suggesting closed deals are catching up from earlier activity.
Looking at August 2026 specifically, buyers saw a median list price just under the typical sold value, and list prices are still more than 5% higher than a year ago despite a recent month-over-month dip. Inventory in the county is slightly higher than last year, but with about 2.4 months of supply versus New Jersey’s 3.3 months, conditions still tilt toward sellers. Homes are spending a median of 21 days on the market, two days faster than a year ago, and the share sold above list price has climbed to more than half of all sales.
Monmouth County also shows strong pricing power, with the average sale-to-list ratio above 102%, indicating many buyers are offering over asking to secure a home. At the same time, active listings have only inched up around 4% year over year, which helps explain why the area is still categorized as a seller’s market. With these crosscurrents of rising values, limited supply, and brisk sales, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with an experienced local agent who knows how to navigate this market.
Monmouth County offers residents a balanced blend of scenic shorelines, thriving towns, excellent schools, abundant parks and recreational opportunities, and a welcoming, connected community—all within a convenient, family-friendly setting.
Monmouth County immediately stands out from nearby urban hubs with its rare mix of oceanfront living, historic towns, and easy access to both New York City and Philadelphia. From the boardwalks of Long Branch to the marina life in Atlantic Highlands, communities here feel distinct yet closely connected.
Residents enjoy miles of coastline at Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park and Sandy Hook, plus extensive green space in Holmdel Park. Walkable downtowns like Red Bank offer dining, arts, and nightlife anchored by the Count Basie Center for the Arts. Families value strong school options, including Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, and a variety of public and private K–12 programs.
Daily life balances small town familiarity with real convenience. NJ Transit links from Long Branch and Matawan make commuting realistic, while local favorites like Asbury Park’s boardwalk and beach keep weekends close to home. Neighborhoods range from shore condos and classic bungalows to equestrian properties and newer subdivisions further inland.
Because demand can spike quickly in desirable coastal and commuter pockets, timing and preparation are crucial. Whether you are planning your first purchase, trading up, downsizing, or selling a long‑time home, Agent Pronto connects you with a local Monmouth County real estate agent who understands the market and can help you move at the right moment.

“Peggy has assisted us in purchasing investment properties over the years and once again did an incredible job! Not only did she guide us through the buying process but she stayed involved after closing to give advice on the renovations to ensure that the home will appeal to future buyers once our renovation is complete. Peggy's knowledge of the Old Bridge real estate market is top notch!”
“She was very nice and professional and got us into the apartment we wanted from the start.”
“CHRIS was a pleasure to work with. Since I am located out of state Chris was instrumental in getting local inspections and permits completed before closing. He was committed in making this sale as easy as possible. I highly recommend Chris to anyone selling in the area.”
“Daniel Simms was very honest and upfront through the entire home purchasing process. I will recommend him to anyone I know that is looking to buy or sell real estate.”
“Lisa was professional, had incredible knowledge of the area and priced our house well. We had approximately 30-35 prospective buyers view our listing between appointments and open house. It sold in less than a week. She communicated every step of the way and helped us solve any issues as they arose. She made everything go smoothly. Thank you Lisa”
“Stacey went above and beyond for us throughout multiple challenging situations in our buying and selling journey. We are incredibly grateful for her commitment to our vision. She was a continuous resource and a reliable steady hand during the process, start to finish. We could not have done it with without her, and we are so pleased with how it turned out.”
“Maureen was great, worked with me every step of the way, and resolved every issue that came up quickly and thoroughly. Would definitely choose Maureen again! Very Satisfied!”
“We went online searching for the best realtor in the area for houses at the Jersey shore. Boy, did we get the best! Camille went out of her way to make sure that she addressed all of our questions, was very prompt in getting back to us, and showed us a great selection of homes in a competitive market . Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the area! She will be our Realtor at the Jersey shore forever.”
“On a lazy Saturday morning over a cups of coffee, my wife and I saw a listing on Zillow that interested us. Our interest was further peaked that afternoon when we happened to drive by the property on the way to visiting a friend. We told our friends about the property and they recommended Susan, who they used to represent them several years prior. We wanted to see the property so we called Susan who quickly arranged an appointment to see it on Monday morning. We met at the property and Susan explained to us the listing history and some of the history of the house itself. When my wife and I decided to make an offer, Susan clearly explained the process and assisted us through the negotiation, contract signing, and the inspection. She even helped us in securing financing and saw the process through closing. Susan truly made the purchase as seemless as possible. She is a true professional and we would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to family and friends.”
“Thomas made the process so streamlined, simple and enjoyable. His communication was top-notch as far as providing us with updates, any documents, etc. He handled everything in an incredibly timely manner and made the entire experience completely stress-free and we couldn't recommend him more! He displayed the upmost professionalism and was a pleasure to work with!”
“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. Thanks to her expertise, my condo sold quickly and the Closing process went smoothly. What stood out the most was how much Tina genuinely cared about me as a client, not just about making a sale. I always felt supported, respected and confident that I was in the best hands possible. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Tina Torres to anyone buying or selling a home. She is truly one of the best realtors out there!!”
“I had the pleasure of having Jacqueline Greco as my real estate agent for both renting in Jersey city and Bayonne and for helping us buy our first home, the fact that we chose to work with her 3 times should speak volumes of how good of a job she's done for us, she was always available to discuss concerns and was very blunt about the places we visited with her, one thing that set her apart from other real estate agents we had in the past is how self motivated, diligent and efficient she is, she would always try to make our time worth it by booking the viewings as efficiently as possible, she navigated us through a very out of the ordinary sale, and she put us in contact with many professionals along the way. I would definitely work with her again if we need to sell our home or buy another”
“It was a pleasure to work with Eugene while selling my mom's house! I knew it would not be an enjoyable process, but he helped make it as easy as possible.”
“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.”
“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!”
