Howell runs from condos and townhomes to homes on acreage, so a move up can happen without leaving town, or it can take you toward the shore. Either way, you need an agent who can sell the home you’re in for the most it will bring and land the next one on a timeline that holds.
Dennis Mark Interdonato leads The Dennis Mark Group at Keller Williams Realty Ocean Living. He grew up in Ramtown, in the southeast corner of Howell, and most of his clients are move-up homeowners. For one Howell homeowner, he sold the condo in 7 days on the market, then found and negotiated the next home, a single-family house in the Lanoka Harbor section of Lacey Township: one agent, both sides, one plan.
Before your home lists, he walks it the way a builder would. He has been in construction since 2003, with jobs in Howell, so he tells you which fixes buyers will pay for and which they won’t. Parts of Howell are on public sewer and other sections use septic systems, so it’s worth knowing which a home has before it lists; buyers of a septic home usually have the system inspected.
Then the timing. His usual plan uses about 60 days from the end of attorney review to close both deals, often on the same day, with your sale in the morning and your purchase in the afternoon. If your buyer has a home to sell, he finds out whether their buyer does too before an offer is accepted. In September 2026, the Howell homes that sold spent a median of 29 days on the market, and the median sale price for 2026 through September was $660,000.
As he puts it: “We don’t list the house just to put it up on the market.” If the market isn’t in your favor yet, he’ll tell you. See Selling and Buying at the Same Time.
