Monmouth County’s real estate market is buzzing this March! With a median sold price of $707,712 and just 26 days on market, now’s a great time for buyers to make their move. 🏡✨ Let Cori Dunphy at REMAX Central guide you through these competitive waters.

Thinking about making a move in 2026? Here’s a quick look at what’s really happening in our local market right now.

  • Home prices: Marlboro and much of Monmouth County are still holding strong, with prices generally higher than they were a year or two ago.
  • Days on market: Well‑priced homes are still selling in a reasonable timeframe, but buyers are taking a little more time to compare options before jumping in.
  • Inventory: There are more homes to choose from than we saw at the peak of the frenzy, but it’s still not a “flooded” market—good homes in good locations continue to draw attention.
  • Interest rates: Rates have moved around, which is giving prepared buyers more negotiating power in some situations and making accurate pricing even more important for sellers.

What this means for you:

  • If you’re a seller: You can still do very well in this market—but correct pricing and presentation matter more than ever. Overpricing or skipping basic prep can cost you real money.
  • If you’re a buyer: You’re not fighting quite as many bidding wars as a few years ago, but you still need a clear strategy and strong pre‑approval to move quickly on the right home.
