New Jersey Real Estate Market Overview
The Monmouth County Shore — often called the Northern Jersey Shore — is a year-round residential and seasonal market anchored by proximity to New York City. Unlike the more tourist-oriented Southern Shore, the Northern Shore attracts NYC commuters, second-home buyers from the tri-state area, and full-time residents in its established beach communities. Towns like Allenhurst, Deal, Rumson, and Sea Bright command significant premiums for beachfront and waterfront locations.
New Jersey’s closing costs — including the mansion tax on purchases over $1M, realty transfer fees, and attorney fees — are among the highest in the country. Buyers targeting the Shore’s upper market segments should budget carefully for acquisition costs beyond the purchase price. Post-Sandy, flood zone due diligence is standard practice across all Shore communities.
