The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders has established the Monmouth County HOME First-Time Home Buyers Program (FTHB Program) that is designed to provide financial assistance to low and moderate income families to purchase an affordable home. This assistance is in the form of a deferred payment second mortgage loan not to exceed $10,000. These funds are to be used for down payment and closing costs. The FTHB Program works together with local banks and mortgage companies to offer this program to you.

Monthly Market Comparison from the President of Monmouth County Association of Realtors - December 2010-2011
In Monmouth & Ocean Counties 1,018 properties were sold. That means nearly 40 families per day were moving into their new home!
Looking at December 2011 Market Comparison for our core marketing area (Monmouth & Ocean Counties). Single family sales has risen by over 6% and we are still seeing a decrease in property values of nearly 4%. The properties are taking slightly less time to sell and the overall absorption rate is down by over 3.5%. Condominiums, however, tell a slightly different story. Sales are down by slightly over 8% and the decrease in property values is slightly over 10% and the absorption rate has risen by nearly 6%. Adult Communities has shown the largest change with sale up by nearly 14%, property values up by slightly over 3% and the absorption rate is down by nearly 6.5%.
When we break out single family in Monmouth & Ocean Counties, Monmouth has shown some significant improvement over Ocean with sales, property values and absorption rates significantly better.

Long Branch's pier/ferry project is inching along, and may still be years away from being built, but the council took a neccesary step for its construction during Tuesday night's council meeting.
The Long Branch Council settled on a final design and opted for the "shaped" pier, which is a curved "L" shape. This also scheme forms an extension of Laird Street, with a stairway at the pier's end which will provide beach access, according to the Pier Charette Report.
Officials on Tuesday took steps to continue the restoration of the city’s historic waterfront, approving funding mechanisms to advance the pier reconstruction and to rehabilitate the boardwalk above the oft-referenced bluffs.
