The Jersey Shore’s housing market often makes headlines for record-setting sales, but every market has an entry point.
Ironside Shore Wire is tracking that entry point with the Ironside Entry Index, a recurring snapshot tracking the least expensive year-round home with at least one bedroom currently listed in Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon and Stone Harbor.
Rather than focusing on luxury properties, the Entry Index follows where buyers can still enter each market, and how those opportunities change over time.
The Index is designed to provide a simple, consistent benchmark for comparing four distinct coastal communities.
As inventory changes, prices move and listings disappear, the Entry Index offers another way to measure the evolving South Jersey Shore housing market.
Methodology: The Ironside Entry Index is based on active public listings on Zillow and Realtor.com as of July 6, 2026. The Index includes only year-round residential properties with at least one bedroom and is intended as a recurring market snapshot rather than a comprehensive inventory analysis.
