10 South Jersey Towns With Home Values Now Worth $1M+

New Jersey home prices have continued to climb, with only 43 zip codes out of 547 zip codes analyzed by Zillow showing a decrease in home values.

As of January 2026, there are now dozens of towns statewide with home values exceeding $1 million.

Deal, a borough in Monmouth County, had the highest home values statewide in January at $4.162 million.

I focused on towns in Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Lower Ocean counties with homes passing the $1 million mark.

Although no town in Cumberland County has an average home value topping $1 million, I found ten that now have a property value of over $ 1 million in those other counties.

Let's take a look at the data.
