Bay Head Homes For Sale
Bay Head sits at the northern tip of the Barnegat Peninsula, a one-square-mile borough of cedar-shingled cottages and oceanfront estates between the Atlantic and Barnegat Bay. Brian Homer represents buyers and sellers there and across the northern Jersey Shore, from Mantoloking and Lavallette to Spring Lake, Sea Girt and Rumson.

Why does the town matter more than the price filter?
Because the things that determine what a shore home actually costs to own are municipal, not regional. Beach access in Bay Head is controlled by private associations and can attach to a specific address. Mantoloking was rebuilt to elevated post-Sandy standards behind an engineered dune line. Rumson has no ocean frontage at all — its value is deep-water river dockage with bulkhead and riparian obligations attached.
Treating all of it as one "Jersey Shore market" is the most expensive assumption a buyer can make.

Frequently Asked Questions
What towns does Brian Homer cover?
The northern Jersey Shore across Monmouth and Ocean County: Bay Head, Mantoloking, Point Pleasant Beach, Lavallette, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Manasquan and Rumson, plus the surrounding coastal communities.
Are Bay Head beaches private?
Largely yes. Most Bay Head oceanfront is controlled by private beach associations rather than municipal badges, and access can be tied to the specific property. Verify the beach rights attached to any address in writing before removing contingencies.
How much is flood insurance on a Jersey Shore home?
There is no flat rate by zone any more. Since FEMA implemented Risk Rating 2.0 in 2022, premiums are priced per property based on distance to water, first-floor elevation, foundation and replacement cost, so only a real quote on the specific home is meaningful.
