Most homeowners in Atlantic Highlands don’t realize how much their home is actually worth right now.
Across New Jersey, we’ve seen home values rise roughly 10–14% over the past year — outpacing most of the country.
That means a lot of homeowners have way more equity than they think.
Atlantic Highlands Market Snapshot
- Typical home values range from about $780,000 to $900,000
- Well-priced homes go under contract in about 2–3 weeks
- The overall average — including overpriced homes — is about 30 days
- Many homes still sell very close to asking price
Across Monmouth County, inventory remains limited. That keeps the market leaning toward sellers.
Why Some Homes Still Sit
- Starting too high and chasing the market down
- Taking advice from people who aren’t actually selling homes right now
- Skipping preparation — decluttering, updates, and photography matter
- Hiring someone without local experience
We see it all the time. Good homes sit — not because they won’t sell, but because the strategy was off.
I recently had a real estate attorney ask me if homes are still getting multiple offers. In many cases here, they are.
What’s Driving This Market
We’re already seeing the impact of the film and TV industry moving into Monmouth County — bringing jobs, buyers, and attention to this area. And that’s expected to continue over the next few years.

Melina’s Market in a Minute
If your home is priced right, prepared properly, and marketed well, it will move.
Most of our sellers start months before listing — just to understand their options.
For Atlantic Highlands, this feels like a moment. And for homeowners, it may be one worth paying attention to.
