South Jersey Real Estate Market Update – June 2026
The South Jersey housing market continues to evolve as we move through 2026. While home prices remain strong in many communities, inventory levels have increased in several areas, creating more opportunities for buyers than we’ve seen in recent years.
Market Activity Remains Strong
According to the latest market data, Keller Williams Atlantic Shore continues to lead the local market in closed sales, with 99 units sold last month and 385 units sold year-to-date. This reflects continued buyer demand across Atlantic County and surrounding communities.
Inventory Levels Vary by Town
One of the biggest stories this year is the increase in available inventory.
Current months of inventory by community:
- Atlantic City: 12.8 months
- Pleasantville: 7.69 months
- Linwood: 7.39 months
- Brigantine: 6.86 months
- Somers Point: 5.58 months
- Galloway: 5.33 months
- Mays Landing: 5.31 months
- Egg Harbor Township: 4.63 months
- Absecon: 4.05 months
- Northfield: 3.21 months
Generally speaking, 4–6 months of inventory is considered a balanced market. Communities above that range may offer buyers more negotiating opportunities, while areas with lower inventory continue to favor sellers.
Median Home Prices
Home values remain strong throughout the region:
- Brigantine: $650,000
- Linwood: $610,000
- Northfield: $435,000
- Galloway: $345,000
- Absecon: $290,000
- Pleasantville: $247,000
- Atlantic City: $200,000
These numbers demonstrate the diversity of housing options available across South Jersey, from affordable entry-level opportunities to premium coastal markets.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers may find more choices than they had over the past several years. Increased inventory can reduce competition and create opportunities for negotiation in certain markets.
What This Means for Sellers
Homes that are properly priced, professionally marketed, and presented well are still attracting strong interest. However, as inventory increases, pricing strategy becomes more important than ever.
