Toms River, NJ – A steady stream of home sales across Toms River and nearby shore communities this week reflects a broad price range and continued buyer activity, with properties moving both quickly and, in some cases, below asking price.

Meanwhile, nearby coastal and land transactions pushed prices even higher, including a $1.325 million home sale in Lavallette and a $900,000 land deal in Seaside Heights.
Mid-range sales were led by a three-bedroom home at 956 Green Hill Boulevard, which sold for $560,000, while multiple adult community-style homes and smaller properties rounded out the market.
