Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Sussex 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).
Inventory in Sussex County has been edging up, with about 784 active listings in August and a slight year-over-year gain. At the same time, contract activity shows some softening as pending sales dipped compared with last month and last year, even though closed sales were modestly higher than a year ago.
Price trends are still pointing upward, with the typical home value up nearly 9 percent year over year, even as the median list price is only slightly higher than last August. Sellers are not commanding quite as many bidding wars as before, with the share of homes selling above list slipping compared with both the prior month and last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio easing just below recent peaks.
Time on market is stretching, with the median days on market rising to about 35 days and months of supply hovering below three months, still leaner than the statewide level. Compared with New Jersey overall, Sussex County remains more affordable, trading at a lower typical sale price while also showing stronger annual price growth. Buyers who want to navigate these shifting conditions and sellers who aim to price and time their listing well can both benefit from Agent Pronto helping them find the right local real estate agent.
