    Seasonal averages from the last 24 months of Matawan, NJ sales. Individual results vary with price, condition, and how the broader market moves. A local agent can pinpoint the right timing for your home.

    What These Numbers Mean for Matawan Buyers and Sellers

    The Housing Market Trends module above shows a median sale price of $614,692 and a median of 50 on market, and reading those figures alongside the competitive indicators clarifies where negotiating leverage actually sits in Matawan. With a sale-to-list ratio of 100.20%, roughly 30.8% of homes closing above asking, and 24.7% going under contract within two weeks, demand for well-prepared listings remains measurable. At the same time, 24.8% of listings have taken a price reduction and months of supply stands at 3.2, which points to a market that rewards accurate pricing rather than aggressive overreach.

    For a buyer, this combination means selectivity. Homes priced correctly still move quickly and can draw competing offers, so leading with a low anchor on those properties tends to be counterproductive. On aging listings, the price-drop share signals room to negotiate on terms, contingencies, and closing timing. For a seller, the data argues for disciplined day-one pricing: the fraction of homes clearing above list has narrowed, and buyers are watching for reductions before they engage, so overpricing risks the extended timeline reflected in 50.

    With inventory tight at 14 active listings against 20 pending sales, momentum can shift month to month. Matawan has 550 licensed agents, and separating the ones who consistently price and negotiate well from the rest is where a data-driven agent match adds concrete value. Understanding these interlocking signals, rather than any single number, is what informs a sound offer or listing strategy in the 07747 area.

    What this shift means: Year over year, the median sale price moved +1.6%, market time reflects a +24 days change, and the sale-to-list ratio shifted -3.07%. Taken together, these trends suggest buyers now have more time to evaluate and negotiate than they did a year ago, while sellers face a market where careful pricing matters more than it once did. The gap between list and sale expectations has narrowed, making preparation and positioning central for both sides.

    Year-over-year data reflects the most recent rolling period from Matawan MLS records. Prior year values calculated from current figures and published YoY changes.

    What to Look for in a Matawan Realtor

    Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines outcomes: a track record of pricing accurately and negotiating effectively in your specific market. Of the 550 licensed agents working Matawan, EffectiveAgents has ranked 53 based on verified transaction performance and client reviews. The top-ranked agent, Julianne Siciliano at Weichert, has closed 880 transactions with $307.7M in all-time sales volume and 239 client reviews. That depth matters in a market where the sale-to-list ratio sits at 100.20% and 24.8% of listings have adjusted their price, because negotiation experience directly affects final numbers. An agent who knows established areas like Strathmore and the broader 07747 corridor can read how a specific street or price band is trending rather than relying on citywide averages. When reviewing agents, look past the star rating to the pattern underneath: consistency across many transactions, recent activity, and detailed feedback that describes how the agent handled pricing and offers, not just whether the client was satisfied.

    How We Rank Matawan 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 Matawan 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.

    Matawan Real Estate Agent FAQs

    Who is the best real estate agent in Matawan, NJ?

    The top-ranked agent in Matawan, NJ is currently Julianne Siciliano at Weichert, with 880 career transactions, 239 client reviews, and $307.7M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using verified transaction records and review patterns rather than advertising spend, analyzing 64 local transactions to identify measured performers among the area's 550 licensed agents. The best fit depends on your price point and neighborhood, so we recommend comparing several ranked agents against your specific goals before deciding.

    How were these Matawan 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 Matawan?

    Our data covers 550 real estate agents serving the Matawan area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Matawan market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

    What does the median sale price in Matawan mean for sellers?

    Matawan's median sale price is $614,692 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 Matawan?

    Homes in Matawan currently take a median of 50 to sell, and year over year that reflects a +24 days change in market time. Actual timelines vary with pricing, condition, and location within the 07747 area. Accurately priced, well-prepared homes tend to move faster, with 24.7% of listings going under contract within two weeks, while overpriced homes often sit and eventually take a reduction, as seen in the 24.8% of listings with price drops. Working with an experienced local agent on pricing strategy is the most reliable way to shorten your timeline.

    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 Matawan 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 Matawan 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 Matawan 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 Matawan realtor before hiring them?

    Ask how many homes they have closed in Matawan 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.
