Tight Inventory, Condo Pricing Strengthens
Camden County's single-family market remains tight at 1.9 months of supply, with sellers still earning 100.7% of asking even as the median pulled back 2.3% to $376,000 (year-to-date pricing is up 6.4%).

Single Family Surges 14%, Sellers Above Asking
Gloucester County led South Jersey single-family appreciation in March 2026, with the median up 14% to $399,000 and the tightest supply in the region at 1.8 months.

The townhouse-condo segment cooled, median off 7.7% to $264,000 and days on market more than doubling to 41 days, while the adult community segment pulled back 6.2% to $370,000 on lower volume.

Affordable Market, Days on Market Extending
Cumberland County remains South Jersey's most affordable market with a single-family median of $275,000, down 1.8% year-over-year. The story is days on market: SF DOM jumped to 76 days (up 46% YoY), reflecting a more measured buyer pace. Supply is healthy at 3.0 months. The townhouse-condo and adult community segments are too small in this county to read into single-month moves, most months see only 1-3 closed sales.

Stable Pricing, Slower Pace
Salem County's single-family median was essentially flat at $280,000 (up 0.2% YoY), with 3.3 months of supply and days on market extending to 72. Sellers are receiving 96.5% of asking. The townhouse-condo and adult community segments are very small in Salem (1-2 closed sales per month), and March 2026 saw zero closed sales in those segments, the data table shows the literal NJ Realtors values, but single-month percent changes against tiny baselines should be read carefully.

Shore Market Settles, AC Activity Strengthens
Ocean County's single-family median eased 1.9% to $593,745, still the highest median in this report, with 2.6 months of supply and sellers receiving 99.2% of asking. Closed sales were down 14% but year-to-date single-family pricing remains essentially flat. Townhouse-condo activity picked up with closed sales up 20.8%, while the adult community segment showed strength: closed sales up 2.7%, year-to-date pricing up 3.6%, and inventory up 13.2%, giving 55+ buyers more selection.
What This Data Means
For Your Decision
The March 2026 data tells a consistent story across South Jersey: single-family pricing is firming or climbing in most counties (Gloucester up 14%, Atlantic up 8.8%, Burlington up 7.4%), supply remains historically tight (most counties between 1.8 and 3.3 months), and sellers in primary markets continue to receive at or above asking price. Days on market have extended modestly across segments, and the townhouse-condo and adult community segments show more variability, especially in low-volume counties like Cumberland and Salem where small samples can produce dramatic-looking percent changes.
For buyers, this means acting decisively on well-priced properties and having financing fully in order. For sellers, it means pricing accurately from day one matters more than ever, the days of overpricing and waiting are behind us in most South Jersey markets.
