Ocean County Real Estate Appraisals

Ocean County appraisals often turn on questions that matter less elsewhere. On Long Beach Island and the barrier beaches, and on the bay and lagoon in towns such as Toms River and Brick, flood zone, elevation and post-Sandy rebuilding can all affect value.

Age-restricted communities in Manchester, Berkeley and Toms River are their own market, so we compare them first with sales from similar communities. Estate and date-of-death appraisals of these homes are a routine assignment, including dates several years in the past.
