Here are 5 multi-million dollar homes for sale on the Jersey Shore

Four boat slides. A whirlpool bathroom. Facade on the ocean.

These are beach houses like you’ve probably never seen before.

Take a peek inside these multi-million dollar homes that are currently for sale along the Jersey Shore.

In today’s robust residential real estate market, the high-priced sector of New Jersey beach towns is enjoying the same success as the mid-priced market – up to a point.

“In the $ 2-5 million range that they sell in about a week,” said Brian Flynn, of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services at Sea Girt.

But sales aren’t as fast for homes in or near the double-digit millions.

“The lower the price of the property, the more qualified buyers there are,” said Bill Leahy of Long & Foster Real Estate in Avalon. “The higher the price of the property, the fewer buyers there are.”

They are also second homes, Leahy said.

“If you were to sell a first home for the same amount, there would be more people buying it because of their immediate personal needs,” he said. “When you talk about this type of property, you just have to wait for the right person to come.”

In Cape May, 11 homes over $ 5 million have been sold or contracted since the start of the year. And there are about 20 homes in this price range currently for sale.

“In a normal, balanced market, we would only see about half of these … sales and about double the inventory in the market,” said Jeff Quintin, general manager of Quintin Group in Ocean City. “Currently, the market is strong and the quality of homes is limited.”

Buyers, agents say, often come from cities and northern Jersey or suburban Philadelphia or people priced outside the Hamptons. But because the market is so strong, agents also see many local buyers moving to a better view, a larger house, or closer to the ocean or bay.

Carolyn Vallerini, of Weichert Realtors in Point Pleasant, just sold a three-story house in Belmar to buyers who lived two blocks away and wanted water views.

“They will move 50 feet just for the view of the water,” she said. “They know they can get what they want, if not more, for their home, so why not move to a bigger house on the waterfront? Maybe three years ago they didn’t have the capacity to do it.

Similar to the average residential market, sales in the high-end Shore market are driven by the same factors.

“The driving force was, I think, low interest rates, a banner stock market, and an influx of people leaving cities that are pushing people from the suburbs to places like LBI – and people working remotely,” said Joy Luedtke of Joy Luedtke Real Estate, LLC on Long Beach Island.
