October 2026 Jersey Shore Market update Median sale prices rose across Monmouth and Ocean counties in October 2026, and buyers had more homes and condos to choose from than they did a year earlier. Single-family closings increased in both counties, while condo closings declined even as median condo prices posted double-digit gains. Single-family sales rose in both counties In Monmouth County , the median single-family sale price reached $849,900 , up 8.3% from October 2025. Closed sales also rose 8.4% , and homes spent an average of 33 days on the market , down from 36. Sellers received an average of 100% of their original asking price . In Ocean County , the median single-family sale price climbed 5.9% to $627,500 , while closed sales edged up 1.7% . Homes spent an average of 42 days on the market , up from 38, and sold for an average of 98% of their original asking price . Condo buyers had more choices Monmouth County’s median condo sale price rose 17.9% to $649,000 , while inventory increased 15.6% and closings fell 8.9% . Ocean County saw an even bigger shift. Its median condo sale price rose 26.0% to $460,000 , inventory grew 31.5% , and closings fell 16.7% . Ocean County recorded just 45 condo closings in October, so the mix of units sold can have an outsized effect on the monthly median. What this means if you’re buying or selling If you’re shopping for a Jersey Shore condo, the increase in inventory gives you more room to compare units, HOA fees, and amenities. If you’re selling, recent comparable sales and competing listings in your town, building, or 55+ community will give you a clearer picture of where to price than the countywide median alone.

September 2026 Real Estate Market Report: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know in Monmouth and Ocean Counties The latest September 2026 market data from MOREMLS offers valuable insight into the changing real estate landscape across Monmouth and Ocean counties. Comparing September 2026 with September 2025, the numbers reveal a market characterized by fewer closed transactions, mixed pricing trends, and changing inventory levels. For homeowners considering selling, buyers preparing to enter the market, and investors evaluating opportunities along the Jersey Shore, these statistics provide a helpful snapshot of current conditions. Let's take a closer look at what the numbers mean for single-family homes and condominiums in both counties. Monmouth County: Single-Family Home Prices Continue to Rise Monmouth County's single-family housing market demonstrated notable price strength in September 2026, even as closed sales declined slightly compared with the same month last year. Key statistics for September 2026: Closed sales: 460, down 1.08% from 465 in September 2025. Average sale price: $1,171,315, up 13.70% from $1,030,194. Median sale price: $825,000, up 3.77% from $795,000. Average days on market: 30, down from 33 days. Inventory: 1,308 homes, virtually unchanged from 1,309 a year earlier. Average percentage of original list price received: 98%, compared with 100% last year. The most striking figure is the 13.70% increase in the average sale price. The median sale price also increased, suggesting that price growth was not limited to the average alone. However, the larger increase in the average may reflect changes in the mix of homes sold, including a greater share of higher-priced properties. Homes also spent fewer days on the market, averaging 30 days compared with 33 days in September 2025. This suggests that well-positioned properties can still attract buyers relatively quickly. At the same time, sellers received an average of 98% of their original asking price, compared with 100% last year. This indicates that pricing strategy and negotiation remain important, even in a market where home values have increased. What this means: Monmouth County continues to show strong pricing, but sellers should not assume that every property will command its original asking price. Buyers may face higher purchase prices, making preparation, financing, and a clear understanding of local property values essential. Ocean County: A More Mixed Market for Single-Family Homes Ocean County's single-family market showed a different pattern, with a modest decline in the average sale price and a slight increase in available inventory. Key statistics for September 2026: Closed sales: 463, down 4.54% from 485. Average sale price: $748,814, down 3.19% from $773,514. Median sale price: $605,000, up 1.00% from $599,000. Average days on market: 33, down from 35 days. Inventory: 1,522 homes, up 2.15% from 1,490. Average percentage of original list price received: 99%, unchanged from the prior year. The difference between the average and median sale prices deserves attention. Although the average price declined, the median price increased slightly. This can happen when the mix of properties sold changes from one year to the next; it does not necessarily mean that the value of a typical home has fallen. Closed sales declined, while inventory increased modestly. Buyers may therefore find more options than they did a year ago, although availability and competition will vary by neighborhood, price range, and property condition. Homes averaged 33 days on the market, two fewer than the previous September. Sellers also received an average of 99% of their original asking price, indicating that list-price realization remained relatively steady. What this means: Ocean County buyers may have opportunities to compare more properties and negotiate thoughtfully. Sellers can still compete effectively, but accurate pricing and strong presentation are important in a market where overall sales volume has softened. Monmouth County Condominiums: Prices and Inventory Move Higher The condominium market in Monmouth County showed positive price trends alongside a meaningful increase in available inventory. Key statistics for September 2026: Closed sales: 134, down 13.55% from 155. Average sale price: $626,222, up 1.76% from $615,392. Median sale price: $556,500, up 6.00% from $525,000. Average days on market: 30, down from 31 days. Inventory: 417 units, up 18.80% from 351. Average percentage of original list price received: 100%, up from 98%. The rise in the median sale price is encouraging for condominium owners, while the increase in inventory gives buyers more properties to consider. However, closed condominium sales fell by nearly 14% year over year. That decline suggests that higher prices have not translated into a greater number of completed transactions. One positive sign for sellers is that the average percentage of original asking price received reached 100%. While this is an aggregate figure rather than a guarantee for any individual listing, it indicates that appropriately priced condominiums continued to perform well. What this means: Buyers may benefit from a broader selection of condominiums, while sellers can still achieve favorable results when their properties are priced and marketed effectively. Buyers should also compare association fees, maintenance costs, amenities, and any applicable condominium association requirements when evaluating a purchase. Ocean County Condominiums: The Biggest Inventory Increase Ocean County's condominium market recorded the sharpest inventory growth among the four market segments in the report. Prices also increased, even as closed sales declined significantly. Key statistics for September 2026: Closed sales: 43, down 27.12% from 59. Average sale price: $468,276, up 8.81% from $430,378. Median sale price: $398,000, up 16.37% from $342,000. Average days on market: 34, down from 37 days. Inventory: 235 units, up 39.05% from 169. Average percentage of original list price received: 99%, up from 98%. The increase in the median sale price is the largest percentage gain among the four average and median price measures shown in the graphic. Nevertheless, the decline in closed sales and the substantial rise in inventory suggest that buyers and sellers are experiencing different sides of the market. Buyers may have more opportunities to compare condominium options, while sellers face a larger pool of competing listings. Even with higher reported sale prices, the decline in transactions means that pricing and property-specific demand deserve careful attention. The increase in prices should also be interpreted in context. With only 43 closed sales in September 2026, changes in the mix of condominiums sold can have a considerable effect on monthly average and median figures. What this means: Ocean County condominium buyers may have greater choice and room to evaluate their options. Sellers should pay close attention to competing listings and avoid relying solely on last year's sale prices when determining an asking price. Four Market Trends Worth Watching Across both counties and both property types, several important patterns emerge from the September figures. 1. Closed sales declined in every category. The number of closed sales fell year over year across all four segments: Monmouth single-family homes: down 1.08%. Ocean single-family homes: down 4.54%. Monmouth condominiums: down 13.55%. Ocean condominiums: down 27.12%. The largest decline occurred in Ocean County condominiums. These figures show fewer completed transactions, but they do not establish the cause. Mortgage rates, affordability, seasonal patterns, available inventory, and other local factors may all influence sales activity. 2. Prices were stronger in Monmouth County and in both condominium markets. Monmouth County single-family homes recorded a 13.70% increase in average sale price. Ocean County single-family homes, by contrast, saw a 3.19% decrease in the average, although the median rose 1.00%. Condominium prices increased in both counties, with Ocean County showing the larger percentage gains in average and median sale prices. These differences reinforce the importance of evaluating the specific county and property type rather than relying on one broad market headline. 3. Inventory is increasing most noticeably for condominiums. Single-family inventory remained nearly flat in Monmouth County and increased 2.15% in Ocean County. Condominium inventory rose 18.80% in Monmouth County and 39.05% in Ocean County. For buyers, additional listings can mean more opportunities to compare properties. For sellers, it can mean greater competition. However, inventory alone does not tell us how many months of supply are available, because that calculation also depends on the pace of sales. 4. Homes are spending slightly less time on the market. Average days on market declined in all four categories: Monmouth single-family homes: 30 days. Ocean single-family homes: 33 days. Monmouth condominiums: 30 days. Ocean condominiums: 34 days. This is an important counterpoint to the decline in closed sales. Properties that sell are, on average, spending fewer days on the market than they did a year ago. That does not necessarily mean every listing is selling faster, since the statistic reflects properties that reached a sale and can be affected by the mix of transactions. Advice for Homebuyers in Fall 2026 For buyers, the September market data suggest that preparation and flexibility remain essential. Understand the local market. A buyer considering a single-family home in Monmouth County may face a different pricing environment than someone searching for a condominium in Ocean County. Compare recent comparable sales. Countywide averages provide useful context, but recent sales of similar properties in the same neighborhood are generally more relevant when determining fair value. Explore your options. Rising condominium inventory, particularly in Ocean County, may give buyers more properties to evaluate. Take time to compare condition, location, carrying costs, and potential resale considerations. Get financing in order. A mortgage preapproval and a clear budget can help buyers move decisively when an appropriate property becomes available. Negotiate strategically. Average sale prices and list-price percentages do not guarantee that a particular home will sell at a given price. Property condition, seller circumstances, and competing offers all matter. Advice for Home Sellers in Fall 2026 Sellers can still find opportunities in this market, but a successful sale begins with a realistic understanding of the competition. Price your home based on current comparable sales. Strong year-over-year price gains in some segments do not mean every property has appreciated at the same rate. Make a strong first impression. Professional photography, thoughtful staging, and attention to maintenance can help a listing stand out. Monitor competing inventory. This is especially important for condominium sellers, given the substantial year-over-year inventory increases in both counties. Be prepared to negotiate. Monmouth single-family sellers received an average of 98% of original list price, while the other three categories ranged from 99% to 100%. These figures are useful benchmarks, not guaranteed outcomes. Work with a local real estate professional. An experienced agent can help interpret neighborhood-level activity, evaluate competing listings, and develop a marketing strategy suited to your property and timeline. The Bottom Line: Local Knowledge Matters September 2026's MOREMLS statistics show that Monmouth and Ocean counties continue to offer distinct real estate opportunities. Monmouth County's single-family market stands out for its strong increase in average sale price, while Ocean County's single-family market shows a slight decline in average price alongside a modest increase in inventory. Condominium prices increased in both counties, but sales declined and inventory rose, particularly in Ocean County. For buyers, the changing inventory picture may create opportunities to compare properties and negotiate. For sellers, the data reinforce the importance of competitive pricing, effective marketing, and an understanding of current local demand. Ultimately, countywide statistics are only part of the story. Neighborhood, price range, property condition, and individual circumstances all influence the outcome of a real estate transaction. Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or simply monitoring your home's value, the best starting point is a conversation with a knowledgeable local REALTOR® who can put these numbers into context for your specific market.

July 2026 Market Stats - A tale of multiple markets The July numbers show a generally strong Jersey Shore housing market, particularly for single-family homes. Prices are higher than a year ago in both counties, while homes continue to sell very close to—or above—their original asking prices. For Buyers: Competition remains significant. Monmouth County single-family homes sold for an average of 102% of original list price, while Ocean County averaged 101%. Median prices rose to $816,000 in Monmouth (+5.3%) and $634,999 in Ocean (+5.8%). The encouraging news is inventory: Ocean County single-family inventory increased slightly, while condo inventory grew 5.4% in Monmouth and 16.9% in Ocean, potentially giving condo buyers more choices and negotiating opportunities. For Sellers: Single-family conditions remain favorable. Average sale prices jumped 13.2% in Monmouth County to $1.029 million and 10.9% in Ocean County to $785,860. Homes averaged just 29 days on market in Monmouth and 35 days in Ocean, unchanged from last year. Cash purchases also increased substantially in both counties. The condo market is more mixed. Monmouth condo sales declined 10.3% and average prices fell 2.7%, although average market time improved dramatically from 39 to 27 days. Ocean County condos saw sales increase 10.9% and average prices rise 12.3%, but inventory climbed nearly 17% and average market time increased to 36 days. Bottom line: Single-family sellers continue to have considerable leverage, while buyers should be prepared for well-priced homes to attract strong offers. The expanding condo inventory—particularly in Ocean County—could create better opportunities for buyers heading into the late-summer and fall market.

June 2026 Market Stats - Are you a buyer or seller at the Jersey Shore? Are you considering a real estate purchase or sale down the Shore in either the Monmouth or Ocean County markets? If so, consider June 2026’s market data points to continued strength across Ocean and Monmouth Counties, with meaningful differences by property type and location. For single-family homes, both counties saw more closed sales and higher prices than June 2025. Monmouth County closed 516 sales, up 7.3%, with the median sale price rising 8.3% to $850,000. Ocean County closed 505 sales, up 11.7%, while its median price increased 4.2% to $625,000. Homes are still moving quickly—averaging 26 days on market in Monmouth and 32 days in Ocean—and sellers received an average of 102% of original list price in Monmouth and 99% in Ocean. Inventory was essentially flat in Monmouth and increased modestly in Ocean. The condominium market was more varied. Monmouth County condo sales rose 13.4%, with the median price up 5.8% to $545,000. However, average marketing time increased to 36 days, suggesting buyers may have a little more time to evaluate options. In Ocean County, condo sales declined 19.7%, yet prices climbed sharply: the median sale price rose 19.1% to $455,000. Inventory increased 24.5%, while average days on market dropped to 31, indicating that well-positioned condos continue to attract buyers. For sellers, the message is encouraging: values remain elevated, demand is active, and properly priced homes are still attracting strong offers. For buyers, increased inventory—particularly in Ocean County condos—may create more choices, but competitive conditions remain for desirable, well-priced properties. Because conditions can vary significantly by town, price range, and property type, a community-specific market analysis is the best way to plan a successful purchase or sale.

May 2026 Market Stats - Inventory is Building! Monmouth County Market Summary – May 2026 The Monmouth County housing market remains resilient despite fewer overall sales.

Homes are selling slightly faster, averaging 30 days on market, while sellers are receiving virtually 100% of their asking price.

Inventory also increased 8.4%, creating additional opportunities for buyers while sellers continued to benefit from stable property value Overall, both counties continue to favor sellers in many segments, particularly in the single-family market, where low (but building) inventory and steady demand are keeping upward pressure on home values even as transaction volume moderates.
