Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).

Ocean County home values in August 2026 were up modestly from a year ago, with the typical home value about 3 percent higher. Inventory expanded, as active listings climbed more than 8 percent year over year and months of supply jumped over 60 percent to 3.5 months. At the same time, buyer demand cooled somewhat, with homes sold down about 5 percent and pending sales down more than 11 percent compared with last August.

Looking at the latest monthly snapshot, the typical home value was about $498,000, while the median list price rose roughly 6 percent just since July to around $527,000. Homes are taking longer to sell than earlier in the summer, with median days on market moving from 24 days in June to 36 days in August, and the share selling above list price easing to about 28 percent.

Conditions still lean toward sellers, reflected in a seller’s market gauge reading, but they are less intense than earlier in the year as supply builds and sale-to-list ratios hover near 99 percent. Compared with New Jersey overall, Ocean County sits below the statewide median sale price yet shows similar trends of rising inventory and steady prices. Buyers may find slightly more options and a bit more negotiating room than last year, while sellers still benefit from solid pricing power, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands these shifting dynamics.



Learn more about what Ocean County has to offer.

Ocean County offers the people who call it home a vibrant mix of pristine beaches, abundant outdoor recreation, tight-knit communities, and convenient access to good schools, services, and local opportunities in an affordable, family-friendly environment.

Ocean County offers a distinct coastal lifestyle that feels more relaxed than nearby Monmouth County, yet more suburban and accessible than resort-focused Atlantic County. From the family-friendly boardwalks of Point Pleasant Beach to the quieter lagoons of Brick and Toms River, communities here often center on the water, local schools, and long-standing neighborhood ties.

Residents make frequent use of natural assets like Island Beach State Park, highlighted by the state at Island Beach State Park, and the many programs at Cattus Island County Park. In towns such as Toms River and Lakewood, local life is grounded in recreation leagues, school events, and cultural institutions like the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College. Families also pay close attention to resources like the Toms River Regional Schools district and the Ocean County Library system.

Whether you live here year round or are considering a move from nearby Burlington County, timing and preparation matter. Waterfront homes, 55 plus communities, and starter neighborhoods each follow different seasonal patterns, and pricing can shift quickly between shore towns and inland suburbs. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers in Ocean County with a local real estate professional who understands these nuances and can help you prepare for a successful move.

“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.”

“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”

Cinthia · Bayonne, NJ

“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!”
