New Jersey’s Buy-Side Real Estate Market: Q2 2026 Analysis

Market Snapshot: Q2 2026

New Jersey's active inventory grew through Q2 2026, rising from 31,145 listings in April to 32,264 by June. Months of supply held at exactly 3.2 across all three months, an unusually stable reading that placed New Jersey in seller's market territory throughout the quarter. The supply scale provides useful context: below 4 months typically signals a seller's market, where demand tends to exceed available inventory; the 4 to 6 month range characterizes a balanced market; above 6 months, conditions tend to favor buyers. At 3.2 months, New Jersey's Q2 2026 reading held well within seller's territory for all three months.

Median sale prices rose strongly through the quarter, climbing from $540K in April to $560K in May and reaching $598K in June. Days on market declined from 45 days in April to 42 in May and 41 in June, a meaningful improvement in absorption pace through the quarter.

Compared to Q2 2025, New Jersey's supply ran slightly above the prior year. Months of supply at 3.2 ended June 2026 up 0.2 months from the 3.0 reading in June 2025. Active inventory grew 9.3% year over year. Median prices rose 5.9% from June 2025, a strong gain reflecting sustained demand in one of the nation's highest-priced residential markets. Days on market came in 4 days below June 2025's reading of 45, reflecting faster absorption than the prior year despite slightly more inventory.

Top 25 Buyer's Agents and Teams: Q2 2026 Rankings

Agent Pronto/CINC has ranked New Jersey's top 25 buyer's agents and teams based on total transaction volume in Q2 2026. This proprietary buy-side data reveals the luxury specialists who dominate New Jersey's most active high-value coastal real estate markets.

What the Data Shows

New Jersey's Q2 2026 top 25 is dominated by the Jersey Shore — New Jersey's Atlantic coastline and its most exclusive beachfront communities generate virtually every high-value transaction in the field. The Monmouth County shore is the most concentrated cluster, with Spring Lake alone accounting for five confirmed transaction addresses and Sea Girt, Bay Head and Rumson each contributing additional entries. The Ocean County barrier island communities, including Long Beach Island and Mantoloking, add a second cluster, and the Cape May County shore — Ocean City, Avalon and Stone Harbor — contributes the field's southernmost luxury entries. Every agent and team except four carries a median above $1 million, making it among the most luxury-concentrated fields in the national Q2 dataset.

The field's highest-value transactions are defined by specialists working the shore's most exclusive beachfront communities. Jennifer Landers qualified through a single $16.0M closing on East Avenue in Bay Head, the highest individual transaction in New Jersey's Q2 top 25. Dorothy Phillips contributed 2 closings at a $5.8M median, with her highest a $10.8M Ocean City oceanfront property. John Jack Binder Jr reached rank 9 through 3 closings at a $4.7M median, with his highest a $10.735M Avalon closing. Rene Kane closed 9 transactions at a $1.2M median, with two confirmed Longport closings at $10.45M and $8.0M representing the field's most active single-market specialist at the high-value end. Shawn Clayton contributed 3 closings at a $5.2M median, including a $9.75M Spring Lake property. Bonnie Wells closed 4 transactions at a $3.7M median, with an $8.0M Beach Haven closing on Long Beach Island among her top sales.

Several specialists worked multiple communities across the shore corridor. Denise Dreyer closed 5 transactions at a $5.4M median, with two confirmed Sea Girt closings on Washington Boulevard and Philadelphia Boulevard. Suzanne Veninata contributed 5 closings at a $3.9M median, with her highest a $6.9M Rumson property. Paul Sudell added 7 closings at a $3.2M median, and Mario Venancio contributed 6 closings at a $2.5M median. Pascale Coppola closed 8 transactions at a $1.7M median across the broader New Jersey market. A smaller volume tier — Michael Martinetti with 28 closings at $575K, Val F. Nunnenkamp Jr. with 25 at $460K, David Lazaro with 21 at $599K, and Michelle Pais with 17 at $660K — works New Jersey's accessible residential market at price points that still reflect the state's elevated pricing baseline.

Median prices across the full top 25 run from $460K to $16.0M, and closing counts from 1 to 28. With 21 of 25 agents and teams carrying medians above $1M, New Jersey's top 25 is among the most luxury-concentrated fields in the national Q2 dataset. As with all dollar-volume rankings, the top 25 reflects the high-producing end of New Jersey's buyer's agent and team landscape rather than a cross-section of the full market.

Conclusion

New Jersey's Q2 2026 market held at a stable 3.2 months of supply throughout the quarter, running slightly above Q2 2025 while prices rose 5.9% and absorption accelerated by 4 days year over year. The top 25 buyer's agents and teams reflect a state where Jersey Shore specialists working premium beachfront communities define the dollar-volume rankings, from Bay Head and Spring Lake on the Monmouth County shore to Ocean City and Avalon on the southern Cape May shore. Agent Pronto/CINC's Q2 2026 rankings capture that coastal concentration across New Jersey's active buyer's agent and team landscape.
