Whiting, NJ Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Whiting, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Whiting sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of October 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 238
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $214,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $191
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $145,000 and $276,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 238 closed sales in Whiting over the last six months, with a median closing price of $214,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $145,000 and $276,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 83% of the Whiting closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 187 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $144 and $221 per square foot.

Where Whiting sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Whiting over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $145,000 and $276,000. Among the 54 New Jersey markets with a published band, Whiting's middle-half spread ($145,000 to $276,000) ranks 36th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 25 days, across 134 Whiting closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 33 days, across 142 Whiting closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Whiting angle

Whiting has volume on its side and width working against it. Spend the sample on tight filtering. Property type and size come before count: a short list of close matches will beat a long list assembled by relaxing criteria, because in a wide band each relaxation buys a larger price error. Neither half of that band is meaningfully wider than the other, so $214,000 divides it close to evenly. The two halves of the middle band are of similar width.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Whiting address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Whiting over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. Whiting has no municipal boundary of its own in the Census place and county subdivision files, so these figures cover the Whiting postal area rather than a city boundary. The closings we track across properties assigned to the Whiting postal market are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 18% of the 238 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $212,500.
