What These Numbers Mean for Long Branch Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows Long Branch carrying a median sale price of $759,620 and a median of 33 days on market, and the surrounding indicators tell a more nuanced story than either figure alone. With 6.1 months of supply and 146 active listings against 25 homes sold and 76 pending sales in the most recent month, the market sits closer to balance than to the seller-dominated conditions of prior years. The share of homes selling above list price stands at 29.2%, and only 15.8% of listings leave the market within two weeks, both signs that competition has cooled from peak intensity.
For buyers, this combination means real negotiating room. With price drops appearing on 21.9% of listings and an average sale-to-list ratio of 98.44%, offers slightly below asking are viable on properties that have been sitting, particularly those approaching or exceeding 33 days. The $461.19 per square foot benchmark gives buyers a concrete reference point when comparing homes across the 07740 area.
For sellers, accurate initial pricing matters more now than it did a year ago. Median sale price moved -0.1% year over year, and with market time reflecting a +5 days change, homes priced ahead of the market are the ones drawing price reductions. Across 748 licensed agents working this market, the difference between a data-informed pricing strategy and an aspirational one increasingly determines the final result.

What to Look for in a Long Branch Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition or a familiar sign in the yard often overlooks the metrics that actually predict outcomes: closed transaction volume, negotiation results, and consistent client feedback. EffectiveAgents analyzed 269 transactions across Long Branch to rank performance objectively. At the top, Catherine Ades of Cathy Ades Real Estate has closed 613 transactions with $617.9M in all-time sales volume, a track record that spans a wide range of price points across the 07740 market. Negotiation skill carries weight in current conditions, where the average sale-to-list ratio of 98.44% and price drops on 21.9% of listings mean the gap between list and close is where value is won or lost. An agent who understands when 29.2% of homes clear above asking versus when a measured offer holds can protect thousands of dollars. Review patterns matter too: 95 reviews reflect not a single strong closing but a repeatable process, which is exactly the signal buyers and sellers should weigh across the 35 ranked agents in this market.
How We Rank Long Branch Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Long Branch market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Long Branch Real Estate Agent FAQs

For Long Branch, NJ, EffectiveAgents ranks Catherine Ades of Cathy Ades Real Estate at the top, supported by 613 closed transactions, 95 client reviews, and $617.9M in all-time sales volume.

How were these Long Branch real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Long Branch?
Our data covers 748 real estate agents serving the Long Branch area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Long Branch market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Long Branch mean for sellers?
Long Branch's median sale price is $759,620 as of July 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Long Branch?
In Long Branch, the median home currently takes 33 days to sell, and that timeline reflects a +5 days change from a year ago as the market has slowed from its earlier pace. Actual time to sell depends on pricing accuracy, condition, and location within the 07740 area. With 6.1 months of supply and price drops on 21.9% of listings, homes priced to current market data tend to move faster, while those priced ahead of the market often require reductions and extend well beyond the median.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Long Branch realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Long Branch agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Long Branch neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Long Branch realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Long Branch in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
