10 Priciest Cumberland County Home Sales, Feb. 23 to March 1
A $425,000 Millville home led the county’s weekly deed‑recording roundup while an unusually low weekly median of $35,000 highlights a split market between a few higher‑end closings and many low‑price sales.
1. $425,000, 55 Shore Road, Millville
The top recorded sale in Cumberland County for the week was 55 Shore Road in Millville, listed at $425,000. The Daily Journal notes “A $425,000 house topped the list of most expensive homes with sales recorded in Cumberland County in New Jersey last week,” and uses Google Street View to show the property’s approximate location; the item’s body reports the property “changed hands in October 2019” for the same $425,000. As the county’s largest single recorded price in the weekly snapshot, this sale anchors the high end of a market where most transactions are far lower in dollar value.
2. $259,900 (headline $260K), 2419 E. Landis Ave., Vineland
Vineland’s 2419 E. Landis Ave. appears second at $259,900 (rounded to $260K in the headline). The Daily Journal describes it as “A 1,685‑square‑foot unit in Vineland” and calculates the sale at $154 per square foot; an aerial photo accompanied the item in the original listing. The article also reports the property “changed hands in November 2019,” underscoring the snapshot’s reliance on recorded deeds rather than the contemporaneous contract date.
3. (entry not included in provided excerpt), verification needed
The public excerpts used for this roundup show entries for positions #1, #2, #7, #8 and #10, but do not include the items originally published at #3. The Daily Journal’s package signals a full Top 10 was produced, yet the excerpt omits the specific address, price and photo for this rank. Confirming #3 requires the full weekly NJ.com / county recording data for Feb. 23–March 1 to supply the missing address, sale amount and square footage.
4. (entry not included in provided excerpt), verification needed
The fourth‑ranked sale likewise is not present in the material supplied here. The Daily Journal’s note that “Properties included on this list reflect when the home's deed was recorded with the state, though the property may have sold earlier” explains why some items in the published list show earlier closing months (2019), but it does not provide the #4 entry itself. Local readers will want the full deed‑record details to know whether #4 is a single‑family house, multiunit property, or an estate transfer.
5. (entry not included in provided excerpt), verification needed
Position #5 from the county’s Top 10 is absent from the excerpted list. Because the weekly roundup aggregates recorded deeds, this slot could represent anything from a conventional MLS closing to a post‑closing deed transfer or title change recorded during Feb. 23–March 1. Retrieving the county recorder’s docket or the full NJ.com listing will confirm price, address and whether the transaction was an arms‑length sale.
6. (entry not included in provided excerpt), verification needed
The sixth entry is not contained in the available excerpts; the list jumps from #2 to #7 in the material provided. Given the pattern of rounded headline figures alongside more precise body amounts (for example, $260K vs. $259,900), readers should expect exact sale figures and square‑foot breakdowns once the original weekly compilation is obtained and reconciled with clerk recordings.
7. $220,000, 422 Ellen Court, Millville
Ranked #7 in the published snapshot, 422 Ellen Court in Millville is cited at $220,000. The Daily Journal used Google Street View for location context and reports the property “changed hands in September 2019” at the $220,000 price. This is another example where the deed recording timing, not the sale contract date, determines inclusion in the weekly Top 10 list.
8. $212,000, 258 Carpy Ave., Vineland
At #8, 258 Carpy Ave. in Vineland sold for $212,000; the report lists the house as 1,818 square feet and calculates a price of $117 per square foot. The Daily Journal again notes the transaction “changed hands in November 2019” and used Google Street View imagery. The unit‑price detail helps compare relative value within the county’s smaller pool of higher‑priced closings that week.
9. (entry not included in provided excerpt), verification needed
The ninth slot is missing from the excerpted Top 10. Because the published package shows gaps (#3, #4, #5, #6 and #9 absent), a full download of NJ.com’s Real Estate Newswire list or county recording logs for Feb. 23–March 1 is required to complete the ranking and to determine whether the absent items shift the order shown here.
10. $206,000 (body $205,500), 780 Timber Brook Drive, Vineland
Rounding out the available entries, #10 is 780 Timber Brook Drive in Vineland, reported at $206,000 in the headline and with a body figure of $205,500 from a November 2019 transfer. The Daily Journal’s text uses Google Street View to approximate the location and highlights the discrepancy between headline rounding and the deed‑level number in the record. That difference illustrates how weekly roundups compress complex county recording data for public consumption.
Market context and why the list looks unusual “A total of 70 sales were recorded last week in Cumberland with a median price of $35,000,” the Daily Journal reports, a strikingly low weekly median compared with more typical county medians. Layer that $35,000 weekly median against a top recorded price of $425,000 and you see a polarized market: a handful of higher‑priced closings pull headline attention while the majority of recorded transactions that week were small or low‑value transfers. The Daily Journal’s explicit methodological note, “Properties included on this list reflect when the home's deed was recorded with the state, though the property may have sold earlier”, explains why several top entries show closing months in 2019 despite appearing in a 2026 weekly roundup.
Policy and market implications for Cumberland County, N.J. A weekly median of $35,000 has fiscal and policy implications. For local planners and municipal finance officers in Vineland, Millville and other towns, a prevalence of low‑value recorded transactions can depress short‑run receipts from transfer taxes and reflect increased inventory turnover at the lower end of the market. Conversely, the presence of a $425,000 recorded sale at Millville’s 55 Shore Road shows there is still demand in the mid‑upper price tier, but the gap between median and top sale suggests uneven recovery and affordability pressures that require calibrated housing policy, targeted rehabilitation programs, and careful tax‑base planning.
A note on county name confusion across states Readers should be careful not to conflate other widely reported “Cumberland County” sales with Cumberland County, New Jersey. For example, a Fayetteville Observer piece documents 217 Forest Creek Drive in Fayetteville, “sold for $970,000 on Nov. 30” and described as a 6,200‑square‑foot home, in Cumberland County, North Carolina; and a Maine brokerage reported that 64 Sunset Chimneys near Sebago Lake closed at $8,500,000, calling that “the highest residential sales price ever in the county.” Those figures refer to distinct counties in different states and are not part of the Cumberland County, N.J., Feb. 23–March 1 snapshot.
Bottom line The county’s weekly deed‑recording roundup highlights both a modest top end (a $425,000 Millville sale) and an unexpectedly low weekly median ($35,000 across 70 recorded sales), underscoring a bifurcated local market. To complete this Top 10 and verify the missing entries at ranks #3–#6 and #9, the county recorder’s filings or the full NJ.com Real Estate Newswire report for Feb. 23–March 1 should be consulted; once those records are reconciled with MLS data, the list will fully reflect the week’s priciest home sales and yield a sharper picture of demand across Vineland, Millville and the rest of Cumberland County.
