Explore Monmouth County real estate in 2025.
As 2025 winds down, the Monmouth County housing market is sending mixed signals — but there’s one question everyone’s asking:
Is it a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
The answer: It’s still a seller’s market… but the tide is slowly turning.
The Market Snapshot
The median home price across Monmouth County hovers around $720,000, a slight increase from last year. Homes are still selling fast — many within 30 days — but there’s also more inventory hitting the market than we’ve seen in recent years.
Price growth has started to level off, signaling a shift toward balance — a market where both buyers and sellers have real opportunities.
Why Sellers Still Hold the Edge
Even with more listings, demand continues to outpace supply. Well-priced homes in sought-after towns like Middletown, Holmdel, and Red Bank are still drawing multiple offers.
Sellers who price smartly and stage their homes well are seeing strong results — often selling close to asking price or higher. The key? Strategy and presentation matter more than ever.
A Breath of Fresh Air for Buyers
Buyers are finally getting a bit of breathing room. With more homes to choose from and stabilizing interest rates, the frantic bidding wars of 2021 and 2022 are becoming less common.
It’s still competitive, but today’s market rewards patience, preparation, and good guidance. If you’re pre-approved and working with a knowledgeable local agent, the right home is within reach.
What This Means for You
- If you’re selling: Focus on pricing, presentation, and timing. Overpriced homes linger; priced-right homes move.
- If you’re buying: Stay alert and ready to act. Inventory is improving, but the best homes still go fast.
Monmouth County may still lean toward sellers — but balance is on the horizon. With more listings, steady prices, and stable rates, the market is healthier than it’s been in years.
