JACKSON, NJ – Jackson Township’s real estate market surged through early February, posting a wave of closed sales across all price ranges — from entry-level condominiums under $150,000 to sprawling estates exceeding $1.5 million. Local agents say the latest figures reveal a robust market fueled by strong buyer demand, fast-moving listings, and limited inventory heading into spring.
The most expensive sale of the week took place at 222 Bartley Road, where a nine-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath estate sold for $1,500,000 on February 4. The 6,178-square-foot property, built in 1988, spent just 54 days on the market and was listed by Charles Walden of Keller Williams Shore Properties. The home, featuring extensive living space and landscaped grounds, topped the month’s price charts and signaled continued strength in Jackson’s high-end sector.
Another standout came just a day earlier at 334 Mackenzie Drive, which sold for $855,000 after only 22 days. The four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath colonial fetched $362 per square foot — one of the highest ratios among recent Jackson sales. Likewise, a five-bedroom home at 1 Opal Court changed hands for $823,000, while 66 Crooked Stick Road sold for $650,000. Together, these sales highlight Jackson’s steady appeal among luxury buyers seeking large lots, quiet neighborhoods, and proximity to major shore routes.
Mid-range homes continue to sell quickly
Homes in the $500,000 to $600,000 range also drew competitive offers. A four-bedroom house at 95 South Hope Chapel Road sold for $585,000, just two percent below its list price after 25 days on the market. Nearby, 6 Sturm Lane closed at $574,000 in less than a week, and 11 Murdock Place fetched $630,000 after a longer 153-day listing period. Agents reported that well-maintained properties in established neighborhoods are seeing consistent traffic and quick turnarounds, especially for homes under $600,000.
Activity also remained steady for older or downsized properties. 65 Spyglass Drive, built in 2002, sold for $515,000 after 32 days, while 43 Stamford Drive closed for $549,900. These transactions point to a solid middle-tier market where move-in-ready homes remain in high demand among both young families and downsizers.

At the lower end of the price scale, several smaller condominiums and adult-community homes also found buyers. Two-bedroom units at 303 Geranium Court and 705 Bluebell Drive sold for $309,900 and $290,000, respectively. In nearby Manchester Township, sales ranged from $45,000 to $50,000 for one- and two-bedroom homes on Flamingo Terrace and Swallow Street.

With February’s closings reflecting momentum across every bracket, Jackson’s housing market shows little sign of slowing. Agents say a shortage of available listings may continue to push prices upward as spring approaches, particularly for large single-family homes in prime neighborhoods.
