Here Is What The Average Home Costs In Each NJ County

NEW JERSEY— In New Jersey, the housing divide is no longer just about the highest and lowest listings. It's diverging town by town, where nearby communities can differ in price by millions.

Homes in Camden list around $184,000 while properties in Haddonfield approach $885,000. In Atlantic County, prices stretch from about $259,900 in Pleasantville to nearly $3 million in Longport.

Along the coast and in commuter enclaves, the gap widens further, with high-end markets continuing to pull away from more affordable inland areas.

The pattern repeats across the state.

Homes in Tinton Falls average roughly $514,000, while listings in Rumson reach about $3.5 million.

In North Jersey, commuter hubs and affluent suburbs push prices higher, with homes in Hoboken averaging about $1.39 million and properties in Montclair exceeding $1.1 million.

Those disparities illustrate a market increasingly shaped by micro-level conditions: proximity to the shoreline, access to New York City and local housing supply, rather than broader regional trends.

“The Heights is less expensive than downtown … Journal Square is less expensive than the Heights," said Laura Skolar-Gamarello, a Jersey City-based broker-associate. “I've seen people move from neighborhood to neighborhood because the price points are different within the city.”

A broader review of listings shows prices statewide ranging from roughly $120,000 to $26.5 million.

The highest-end properties cluster in a small number of markets, including Alpine and shore towns such as Avalon and Mantoloking, where waterfront access and large estates command premium prices.

At the lower end, homes are concentrated in cities such as Camden, Trenton and Atlantic City, generally priced between $150,000 and $300,000.

That lower tier has become increasingly compressed.

Most entry-level listings fall within a narrow band around $200,000 to $300,000, limiting options for first-time buyers and contributing to declining sales activity in lower price brackets.

“This has been an ongoing problem that we’ve had,” Skolar-Gamarello said. “Even though the demand is down, we still have a very strong market… but it kind of has leveled off.”

In Hudson County, rising inventory and slower contract activity are beginning to ease the intensity seen in prior years.

Quarterly price growth slowed to 1 percent in the third quarter of 2025, with annual gains at 5.9 percent, and further deceleration expected.

But added supply has not translated into relief for many buyers.

“They still can’t find what they’re looking for a lot of times,” she said.

In Jersey City, a surge in new condominium construction has shifted where inventory is building.

Over the past several years, developers have converted one- and two-family homes into multi-unit properties, increasing the number of similar units on the market.

Mortgage rates, while down from recent highs, continue to influence timing decisions and affordability. Skolar-Gamarello said some people have chosen to wait, hoping rates will come down further.

“I don’t know that that’s going to happen,” she said. “Buyers aren’t scooping up the first thing they see… but sometimes people might have to compromise.”

Geographically, the divide remains concentrated. Ultra-luxury properties cluster in a small number of municipalities in North Jersey and along the shore, while lower-cost inventory is dispersed across South Jersey and smaller inland communities.

Rather than a broad downturn or continued surge, New Jersey’s housing market is settling into a more segmented phase, where outcomes depend increasingly on price point, location and buyer flexibility.
