Working with Corinne to purchase an out of state home was seamless. She knew our needs and wish list
As someone who’s sold homes along the Jersey Shore for nearly four decades, I always keep an eye on the numbers that matter most to local homeowners. This year, New Jersey was among the top five states for homeowner housing wealth, based on over 965,000 anonymized home equity borrowing inquiries in Q1 2026. The median home equity for New Jersey shoppers was around $295,000—so half had more, half had less when considering loans or credit lines. Impressively, nearly three out of four folks here had at least $200,000 in equity, putting us in a strong position compared to much of the country. Home equity is simply the difference between your home’s value and what you still owe on your mortgage. It grows as home values rise or as you pay down your loan—something I’ve seen time and again with my clients in Southern Ocean County. Many owners look at tapping into that equity for things like consolidating debt, helping with education costs, or renovating their homes. If you’re considering this route, it’s wise to check how much equity you actually have, understand all loan costs, and only borrow what you truly need. After 40 years in real estate, I know how important it is to make informed decisions about your home. My experience and deep roots in the community mean I’m always here to help guide you through the options that make sense for you and your family. #findarealtor #Barnegathomesforsale #Oceancountyhomes #Manahawkinhomesforsale #Tuckertonhomesforsale #Findhomesforsale #LittleEggHarborhomesforsale #JerseyShoreRealEstate
