Many $500,000 houses in Ocean County, bought back in 2015, are over a million today.
On the same math, Monmouth lands around $970,000.
Over ten years, Ocean more than doubled. Monmouth almost doubled.
Five years is still strong. On that math, a $500,000 house from 2020 is around $820,000 in Monmouth and around $865,000 in Ocean. Up 64% and 73%.
And yes, Ocean beat Monmouth over both stretches. Surprised a lot of people, including me.
Two things worth saying out loud. These are county-wide averages, and your street is not an average — some homes did better, some did worse. And it isn’t profit until you sell it.
If you want to know what your actual house is worth, that takes me a few hours of real work on your specific home. Say the word and I’ll put it together.
Please share this with anyone who’s been wondering what their place is worth now. Referrals are how this business gets built.
