June 2026 Market Stats

Are you considering a real estate purchase 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.
