Lakewood real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lakewood real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Lakewood is seeing a relatively lean number of homes for sale, with 46 active listings and 15 new listings added recently. Contract activity is slower, with 7 pending sales and enough supply for about 4.6 months, aligning with its classification as a Buyer’s Market at a 66 market gauge score.
Prices are adjusting to this cooler pace, as the median list price has eased to about $474,999, down roughly 2.86 percent from the prior month. At the same time, typical home value has climbed to about $487,500, up 14.71 percent month over month and 2.09 percent year over year, and stands above the Ocean County typical value of $470,000.
Homes in Lakewood are taking longer to sell, spending a median of 42 days on the market, which is double last month but still down about 51.72 percent from a year ago. With only about 6.52 percent of listings cutting prices, roughly 10 percent selling above list, and a sale-to-list ratio near 0.98, sellers still retain some leverage even in a buyer-leaning environment. Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected near $518,750 with inventory edging to 47 and a projected median list price of about $467,998, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands these shifting trends.

“Camille was a pleasure to work with! I assisted my father with the sale of his home and I am so pleased we chose her. Not only did Camille make the process easy, she calmed our anxieties and walked us through each step seamlessly. We felt as though we were her only clients and gave us the attention and reassurance we needed. Camille's attention to detail and ability to anticipate any possible problem saved us time and energy along the way. I cannot recommend Camille enough!”

Berkshire Hathaway BHHS Fox & Roach
“My agent was Lucy Phelan at Keller Williams, and I had a great experience working with both Lucy and her brother Richard. Both had provided me with their expert advice, they would take extra steps to educate you and walk you thru the home shopping process. They would work on my schedule, try their best to answer all my questions and would point me to the right direction when I was looking for the lender, inspector, lawyer, etc. As a home buyer in this "Bidding War" market, most of my offers were turned down; however, both Lucy and Rich have continuously provided me encouragement to keep trying and looking. I cannot remember how many houses we have looked together...and when I was not able to look at the houses in person, they would video call me to conduct a virtual home showing. In general, they are exceptionally good with people skill, nice/friendly people to talk with and they show care on other things then just home buying. I would like to work with them again in the future and would recommend them to any home buyer/seller.”
