Market trends
Several Howell properties sold in under 10 days, a clear indicator of continued buyer competition. Homes between $650,000 and $750,000 represented the most active price range, while entry-level properties below $400,000 continued to attract multiple offers.
Realtors say early spring inventory will determine whether prices stabilize or continue their upward trend as demand remains strong in Monmouth County.
