If you’ve been holding off on listing your home because you think the market slows down in late autumn, the numbers tell a different story.
As your trusted real estate resource, The Alan Kurlander Group focuses on the data so you can make informed decisions. We just analyzed the November 2025 Area Report for Monmouth County, and the findings reveal a distinct window of opportunity for sellers that many homeowners are overlooking.
The headline of this month’s report is value. While the market has normalized in some areas, Monmouth County real estate is still seeing impressive gains.
1. Home Prices Are Climbing Significantly
Average Sold Price: The average sold price jumped to $937,984 this November. That's an increase of 5.51% compared to November 2024.
Year-to-Date Growth: Looking at the big picture, the Year-to-Date median sold price is up 4.15%, sitting at $713,400.
What this means for you: Your home may be worth significantly more than it was just twelve months ago.
2. You Have Less Competition (The "Spotlight" Effect)
One of the biggest advantages sellers have right now is the lack of competition.
New Listings: The number of new homes hitting the market dropped by 4.13% compared to last year.
Inventory Levels: We are currently seeing less than 2 months of inventory (a "balanced" market is 6 months).
What this means for you: With fewer neighbors putting up "For Sale" signs, your home becomes the main attraction. Serious buyers have fewer options to choose from, which increases the traffic and interest in your specific property.
3. Sellers Are Still Getting Over Asking Price
Perhaps the most telling statistic in the entire report is the List/Sold Price Ratio. In November 2025, sellers received 100.3% of their listing price on average.
What this means for you: Even in November, bidding wars are happening. Buyers aren't trying to lowball, as many are aware of the current market status. They are coming in strong to secure homes before the new year.
The Bottom Line
The "winter slowdown" is a myth, at least it is in Monmouth County this year. With inventory tight and prices trending upward, you have maximum leverage as a seller right now.
