From Ocean City to Sea Isle City, Cape May County continued to see steady transaction volume in late April, with five notable single-family home sales closing between $700,000 and $900,000. The properties span multiple shore towns, varied lot sizes, and decades of architectural history, painting a vivid picture of what today's buyers are getting for their investment along the Jersey Shore. For anyone watching this market, the price-per-square-foot numbers tell a compelling story about where value lives right now.
- A 1,152-square-foot Ocean City home on West Ave. led the group at $900,000 — working out to $781 per square foot — reflecting the premium that Ocean City addresses continue to command
- A historic 1900-built Wildwood property on E. Baker Ave. sold at $822,500, offering 1,368 square feet at $601 per square foot, proving that older Shore homes with character remain highly desirable
- Two Sea Isle City properties closed at $787,500 and $750,000 respectively, with lot sizes ranging from nearly half an acre to over 6,300 square feet, offering buyers meaningful outdoor space at competitive price points
- A 1986-built home in the Villas on Beach Ave. rounded out the group at $700,000, sitting on a 7,501-square-foot lot — one of the largest in the batch and a strong value play for buyers prioritizing land
Cape May County's under-$1M segment remains one of the most active and competitive along the entire Jersey Shore coastline. Whether you are buying your first shore property, adding to an investment portfolio, or simply tracking the market, these transactions confirm that demand at this price point shows no signs of slowing heading into Summer 2026.
