With the cost of living skyrocketing in NYC, we invested in a property in the Jersey burbs. Long story short 10% increase in 5 months with housing demand rising. Any advice on when to get out? TIA!

I'm not sure I'd invest in real estate as a short term play unless I was flipping houses and I knew exactly what I was doing.

What were your goals going in? Costs are going to eat up some of that gain.

What is your basis for believing that you have a "10% increase in 5 months"? You'll also have to pay some fairly large taxes on that gain if you only hold the property for 5 months..
