Monmouth County sheriff sales: the official list and how sale day works →
The market reality: Monmouth demand is deep and getting deeper — ferry and rail access plus the shore keep buyers competing, and redevelopment has repriced whole towns. For homeowners in default, that is leverage worth defending: a listed sale meets a real buyer pool at real prices, cash buyers compete rather than dictate, and the equity spread in a typical case justifies working every free process right before accepting anyone's first number.
94 were on the official list as of Nov 2, 2026, with the next sale date on Nov 9, 2026. The most listings were in Middletown (10), Neptune (7), Howell (6). Our county sheriff sale page has the official list and how sale day works.

The one exception is Corcoran Sawyer Smith x Builders Resource Center, a brokerage the people behind this guide have an ownership interest in, which is labeled as a related business everywhere it appears so you can weigh it accordingly.
