Eastern Monmouth MLS Inventory Chart


Inventories are growing nicely going into the "busy" spring selling season.

Do you think prices of beach houses will come down at all or will they be immune to any price decreases? At ridiculous prices people are still on waiting lists to buy 500 sq ft boxes on tiny little lots...some where you don't even own the land, and people are still buying from what I can see...I've been watching houses in a particular location (out of curiosity because I certainly can't afford to buy) and I am amazed at what people are willing to pay for these things. It seemed like inventory was through the roof, but now half of those houses are under contract.

Houses that were bought for $80,000 a few years ago are being sold for $400,000. Is a close to 80% drop likely? Wouldn't a return to slightly above 2000ish prices be considered a "correction"? It just doesn't seem possible that houses close to the beach will drop significantly, if at all. I would love it if they did though, but I'm certain that I'm far from the only one who is watching these houses (only I wouldn't be in it for investment purposes)...which makes me think there won't be much of a drop...if any.

I believe that the Fed is specifically targetting the housing market and won't ease until they see a year over year decrease in home prices in some of the more bubbly areas. If that is the case, then I think there could be another 4 increases of 25 bps each between now and about October.
