Why Home Prices Keep Rising in Red Bank & Middletown NJ

Discover what’s driving home price growth in Monmouth County. Learn why Red Bank, Middletown, and Little Silver remain hot real estate markets.

Monmouth County continues to outperform much of the state. As of September 2025, the average sale price is $877,405, up nearly 8% from 2024. The median sale price of $703,000 confirms that this isn’t a fluke — it’s steady local growth

What’s fueling it?

  • Low inventory: just 2.5 months’ supply.

  • High demand: steady migration from North Jersey and NYC.

  • Lifestyle appeal: proximity to beaches, NYC ferry service, and walkable downtowns.

Additionally, the hype around Netflix building their massive East Coast campus is fueling a ton of speculation. We've seen many films shot locally in the past two years and it's only just beginning. There have been recent celebrity sightings  - from Jennifer Lopez to Tina Fey. This is creating a ton of excitement and I believe we will see A LOT more of it to come.

In Red Bank, the East Side and West Side are both commanding top dollar. New townhome developments continue to pop up and are selling quickly, like the new Azalea Red Bank - a project in the works for over a decade. In Middletown, buyers love neighborhoods like River Plaza, Oak Hill, and Lincroft for their space, accessibility, and tight knit feel. Little Silver remains a bargain for those looking to be on the Peninsula are are priced out of Rumson and Fair Haven.
