“How’s the real estate market in Toms River”, you ask?

Well, that depends; are you buying, selling or “just looking”?

Whichever answer you have, let’s take a look at the numbers first…

Medium Chart

The Median Price of a Home in Toms River

As we can see, the “median” sales price for a single family home in Toms River has risen from around $225,000, at the beginning of the year, to just under $237,000 now, at mid-year.  That means today; half of the homes sold in Toms River sold for OVER $237,00 and half sold for UNDER $237,000.

Now, Altos Research does not separate Adult Community homes from Single Family homes in Toms River, so I decided to check it against our local MLS (Multiple Listing Service)…
