At first glance that looks like bad news, but considering that many areas have dropped 1%/month for the past 12+ months, that is great news. if you grab a calculator and do the math, That 1.68% difference is almost 21%. So Toms River, NJ is doing 21% better than the average of the country.
A big piece of this is that the foreclosure stats are much lower in Ocean County than they are in the rest of the country as well, While there are more foreclosures than any of us are accustomed to, there are far fewer here than other parts of the country
Have a great week!
