Bay Head homes for sale, Mantoloking real estate

Looks like the Bay Head and Mantoloking luxury real estate markets are making a nice recovery two years after Superstorm Sandy hit the Jersey Shore with a knockout punch.

A new, mid-year report prepared by Clayton and Clayton Realtors shows the Bay Head and Mantoloking areas of the Shore have experienced a true market revival over the past 12 months. Total sales were way up through August 2014 with a whopping 421% increase, while homes were selling for 21.4% more than a year ago. These figures all indicate an improving luxury market. The properties sold reflect the ‘trophy safe haven,’ the theory mentioned earlier in that buyers are looking to invest in luxury real estate for the long term. Although the days on the market are a bit longer in 2014, the strength in sales points to a boost in consumer confidence and a healthy thriving market.

Superstorm Sandy damaged over 300,000 New Jersey homes, about 500 in the Borough of Mantoloking. However, the Ocean County gem has been rebuilding at a rapid pace. Currently, there are four points of entry to the 2.2-mile stretch of beach. The construction of a sheet metal revetment will definitely help protect Mantoloking homes and beaches from another major storm. Mantoloking, once named the wealthiest community in New Jersey, is recovering beautifully.

The statistics across the board for Bay Head and Mantoloking clearly point to a healthy equilibrium between buyers and sellers. Affluent buyers from around the globe are choosing real estate as a primary investment, both personally and professionally. From the perspective of Clayton & Clayton, we continue to advise buyers to move while prices are still favorable (even though they are rising). With the limited inventory, we suggest that buyers act quickly if they find a suitable property
