Bottom Line: The above statistics point to a “neutral” or “balanced” market - the number of buyers and sellers in the marketplace are equalized. But there are less homes on the maker than last year. The combination of lower sales prices and reduced inventory means the scales don't tip in either direction, meaning the market is normal without experiencing volatile swings. The Barnegat real estate market is slowing, and significant sale price increases in the future are very unlikely.
Important Note: Move-up buyers, you’re in luck! If you’re ready to trade in your home for something more luxurious, you may get the best of both sectors. We’re still witnessing strong demand for “less expensive” homes, giving sellers the upper hand. At the same time, buyers of high-end homes are finding a greater selection (and more negotiating power) than they’ve had in years.
