This Sunday, Howell

Last week we commented that we had a chance to drive through Sea Bright and remarked about all the “for sale” signs that we saw. This weekend we had a chance to drive through the southern end of Monmouth County and saw parts of Howell, Wall, and the Spring Lake Heights to Brielle area. Just from observation alone, and with no empirical evidence whatsoever, I would say that there seem to be a lot of houses for sale in the Howell and Wall area. In particular, I noticed in Wall, at one of the lights on rte. 195, there were about five different “open house” signs on the grassy corner pointing in various directions. On the other hand, the areas that are closer to the beach did not seem to have that many “house for sale” signs.

The western part of Monmouth County seems to have had the most new construction over the past few years (because eastern Monmouth was built up years ago), as a results, it probably shouldn’t be that surprising that more houses are for sale there compared to the eastern portion.
