December 2025 Market Stats - Buyers... Wake Up!

2026 is off to a strong start and looking back on last month's data, we can see that things continue to shift towards buyer advantage. December market stats for Monmouth and Ocean Counties are out and it shows that days on market (DOM) and Inventory continue to grow. I remain very busy with #homebuyers so the additional home buying choices is definitely a welcomed change from prior year’s markets. If you know anyone looking to buy, sell or invest in real estate at the Jersey Shore or central Jersey markets of Union, Somerset and Morris Counties, please point them my way. Thank you! #njrealtor #JerseyShoreRealEstate

During the past year, I’ve donated thousands of dollars to a variety of deserving pet rescue charities as part of my commitment to giving back a portion of my commissions to pets in need. Throughout the upcoming year, my commitment continues, so if you are a pet-lover, let’s talk.

How Long Are Homes Staying on the Market?

The real estate market has seen major shifts over the past few years:

Then (Before 2020): Homes spent an average of 80 days on the market.

The Anomaly: Homes were selling at record speeds during Covid, averaging just 25 days due to low rates and high demand.

Now (2025): Homes are averaging 73 days—a return to more balanced conditions.

What does this mean for sellers? Pricing strategically and listing at the right time can maximize your home’s value and reduce time on the market!
