Beach-town homes from Bay Head to Long Beach Township led the week, and in three of the five sales the same agent was on both sides.

Ocean County (New Jersey) Top 5 Home Sales: Bay Head Shore Colonial Leads at $3.5 Million

The shore set the pace in Ocean County (New Jersey) for the week ending October 25, 2026. These were the highest-priced home sales reported for the week, and together the five came to $14.995 million. All five are single-family homes in beach communities: one each in Bay Head, Long Beach Township and Point Pleasant Beach, and two in Lavallette. The newest was built in 2019 and the oldest in 1988, and one brokerage, Childers Sotheby’s Intl Realty, listed two of the five.

No. 1 — $3,500,000 · 132 Bridge Avenue, Bay Head, New Jersey

Top home sale No. 1 in Ocean County (New Jersey) β€” 132 Bridge Avenue, Bay Head, New Jersey, week ending October 25, 2026

The top sale of the week was a Shore Colonial in the center of Bay Head, built in 2019 and sold for $3.5 million. The beach, Twilight Lake and the local shops are just blocks from the home, and a covered porch runs across the front. Its lot of 6,969 square feet is the largest of the five, and it is also the newest home in the group.

The two-story home has 2,126 square feet, four bedrooms, and three full baths and a half bath. Ceilings rise above nine feet on both floors, and the floors are wood, marble and ceramic tile, with decorative molding throughout. The main level is open, with a gourmet kitchen and a living area built around a gas fireplace. The primary suite is on that level as well. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, two full baths and a den.

Out back, the private yard has a heated, salt-water in-ground pool and an outdoor shower. A large detached garage for two cars opens onto Willow Drive. The property last sold in 2022 for $2.55 million.

Jeffrey M Childers of Childers Sotheby’s Intl Realty was the listing agent, and Diane Cornell of Keller Williams Realty Ocean Living represented the buyer. The home went under contract 13 days after it was listed and sold just above its asking price of $3.495 million. Childers also listed the No. 3 sale of the week in Point Pleasant Beach, giving the brokerage two of the five.

The bay, not the ocean, frames the fifth sale: a Colonial on the bayside in the north end of Lavallette that sold for $2.5 million. Three large decks take in views of the bay, and the private backyard has a heated in-ground pool with a waterfall.

The rooms are generously sized and bright, ceilings on the first floor are higher than nine feet, and the layout is open.
