The Manahawkin housing market has continued to suffer from a lack of inventory as median sales price of homes rise and homes are selling at a faster pace.

In the Manahawkin real estate market conditions continue to favor sellers over buyers, compared to this time last year. April 2018 found a increase of new listings, an increase in active listings and an increase of pending (under contract) listings for all real estate in Manahawkin, according to information from the Monmouth Ocean Regional Multiple Listing Service (MORMLS).

Manahawkin Housing Market Update: Year to Date in Comparison to Last Year:

·       Absorption Rate: 4.10 Months (shows how long current inventory of properties would last at current rate of sales – anything less than 6 months indicates a “seller’s market.”)

·       Median Sale Price: Up 4.31%

·       Median Days on Market: Down 18.84% (number of days on market before property sells)
