As we move into 2026, understanding the closing trends of late 2025 is essential for any Egg Harbor Township homeowner considering a sale. The market’s decisive performance in the final quarter provides a clear blueprint for success this winter.

If you are wondering what this means for your home, you are not alone. Many homeowners are asking whether buyers are still active and if this is a smart time to sell a single-family home.

The data from October 2025 delivers a powerful answer: the market remained active and competitive, driven by homes priced correctly and presented well. While the market adjusts, buyer demand has not disappeared. What matters most now is understanding the local numbers buyers responded to, and how to apply them today.

This real estate market update breaks down the key October metrics on inventory, pricing, and days on market. We analyze how sellers performed to provide you with the data-driven foundation needed to position your home for success in today’s market.

Egg Harbor Township housing inventory: A balanced foundation. Inventory is one of the most critical indicators for sellers. As of October 2025, Egg Harbor Township held a 2.67-month supply of inventory, indicating a balanced market leaning slightly toward sellers. While inventory increased about 8% from September, it was still down roughly 4% year over year. This combination shows that while more homes entered the market, underlying buyer demand remained steady.

For sellers, this balance is key: it means well-positioned homes won’t get lost in a flood of listings, but pricing must be precise. In October, 56 new listings came to market with a median list price of $459,450. The median list price for all active listings was $474,950, which helps define the competitive pricing window.

Active vs. pending: where buyer urgency meets action. Understanding how quickly homes move from active to pending reveals actual buyer behavior. The October snapshot showed 128 active listings, with 36 homes already pending. These pending homes, with a median list price of $469,500, went under contract in a median of just 14 days. This gap between active and pending is where opportunity lies. It demonstrates that buyers are ready to act swiftly when they find a home that meets their criteria.

Why days on market matter more than ever. The most telling statistic from October is the median Days on Market (DOM), which dropped to 11. This represents a roughly 40% decrease from the previous month. Homes that were correctly staged and priced accurately immediately captured attention.

The lesson is clear: buyers are making decisions early. Listings that miss the mark on price or presentation are far more likely to sit longer; they require price adjustments, while those that hit the mark are moving in less than 2 weeks.

Sold home prices: the proof of pricing precision. Sold data shows what sellers actually achieved, not just what they hoped for. In October, the median sold price was $442,000. Crucially, these homes sold for an average of 99.18% of their final list price. This near-perfect list-to-sold ratio signals strong pricing accuracy. It shows that sellers who priced based on current data, not past peaks, successfully attracted offers close to their asking price, minimizing negotiation friction.

Is now a good time to sell in Egg Harbor Township? For homeowners considering a sale in early 2026, the Q4 2025 data presents a compelling opportunity. Inventory remains manageable, buyer urgency is proven, and homes positioned correctly are moving quickly.

The key is strategy. The market is balanced but leans slightly toward sellers who prepare. Low inventory and fast days-on-market favor those who focus on pricing precision, professional presentation, and strategic timing. This is about capitalizing on current conditions with a plan, not reacting after the market shifts further.

Selling in today’s market is about applying relevant, local data to your advantage. With homes selling quickly and buyers still competing for the right properties, this can be a strong opportunity for prepared sellers. The October 2025 metrics provide your blueprint: price it right, present it well, and you can expect significant buyer interest and an efficient sale.
