Ocean County housing by the numbers
- 654,362
- Residents
- $398,400
- Median home value
- 1981
- Typical home built
- 80.7%
- Owner-occupied homes
Ocean County's median year built is 1981, so an older roof or heating system can become a big expense when you're preparing to sell. With 80.7% of homes owner occupied, many sellers are leaving a place they've maintained and lived in themselves. The median home value is $398,400, but your house is its own case. You don't have to update anything before you ask us for an offer.

The kinds of Ocean County houses we buy
A small shore cottage in Seaside Park presents different repair questions from a split-level in Brick or a ranch in Manchester. Near the water, you might be dealing with damp crawl spaces, corroded equipment or decking that needs replacing. Inland, the list might start with worn flooring and an original kitchen, then grow when someone looks at the roof. Tell us about the work you've already done and the work you've been putting off. We look at the house in its current condition.
We buy older bungalows, larger family homes and seasonal houses that still have last summer's beach chairs in the garage. An unfinished renovation is fine, too. You can show us the room with the exposed studs instead of paying someone to finish it for a listing. We account for needed work when we decide on a price, so you know the offer before spending anything on repairs.
The Ocean County situations we buy in
Water damage near the bay
If your lagoon home in Berkeley or Little Egg Harbor has wet insulation under the floor, selling can feel like one more construction project. You may already be tired of estimates. We look at damaged flooring and damp crawl spaces as they stand. You don't need to make the house look dry and finished.
A shore rental you're ready to sell
Keeping a seasonal place in Lavallette or on Long Beach Island means dealing with the house even when you're home somewhere else. If every trip turns into a repair visit, it may be time to sell. Tell us about current occupants and upcoming bookings. We can discuss a purchase around the arrangements you already have.
An older ranch needs too much work
A ranch in Toms River or Manchester can suit you for years, then need a roof just as you're planning to move. Add outdated rooms and it gets hard to decide where to spend. You can sell the house with those jobs still waiting. We make an offer based on what's there today.
Behind on the mortgage
New Jersey foreclosure goes through court before a sheriff's sale. If your Ocean County mortgage payments have slipped, send us the address and any scheduled sale date. Selling before the auction pays off your lender at settlement and stops the sale. Reaching out early gives us more room to arrange the purchase.
Handling a family house from far away
You inherited a house in Lacey, but you live too far away to keep checking on it. The rooms still hold your family's belongings, and clearing everything out would mean repeated trips. We can make an offer with the contents in place and arrange settlement once the estate paperwork allows you to sell.
Moving while the house is still unfinished
Your move is coming up, but the bathroom project stalled and you can't keep paying for two homes. You can sell your house fast without finishing the project or waiting through showings. We can close in 30 days or less, or choose a later date so you have time to pack and move.
How selling for cash works in Ocean County
Start with a call or the form and give us your Ocean County address. We'll look at the property and send a cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, a title company handles settlement, including the title work and mortgage payoff. You pick the date. There are no commissions and no closing costs, and you can sell as-is without cleaning the house first.
New Jersey foreclosures go through court. The lender takes the case to a judge, and the house is then sold at a sheriff's sale. In Ocean County those sales are held Tuesdays at 2 p.m., except legal holidays, at the Administration Building, 101 Hooper Avenue, Room 119, in Toms River. That's at the corner of Hooper Avenue and Washington Street. The sale is advertised in the Asbury Park Press and a local township newspaper on the four Thursdays before the first sale date.
The sheriff also posts sale notices at the Justice Complex, 120 Hooper Avenue. If a sale is scheduled for your house, tell us the date when you contact us. If we complete the purchase before that date, your lender gets paid at settlement and the sale is cancelled. We work backward from that date to line up the title work and settlement.
How it works
Three steps to a cash sale.
Tell us about the house
Fill out the short form or give us a call. Share the address, the condition and what's going on. That's all we need to get started.
Get your cash offer
We review the house and send you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. You'll see how we got to the number, and you're under no obligation to take it.
Close on your date
You pick the closing date. We can close in 30 days or less, or later if you need more time. A title company handles the paperwork and you walk away with cash.
Run the numbers on a Ocean County sale
Our cash offer will come in under what your house would list for. Anyone who tells you otherwise is setting up a renegotiation after you have already committed.
What counts is what you walk away with. The median home in Ocean County is worth about $398,400. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $23,904 before you pay for a single repair. Add whatever the buyer's inspection asks you to fix, plus months of mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities while it sits. Then put our number next to that.
Sometimes listing still comes out ahead, and when it does, you should list. We'd rather tell you that than buy a house you end up wishing you had kept on the market.

What sellers say about working with Mal
"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."
"I had only 8 days left to stop my foreclosure. Malachi came in and showed me what options I had left, and once we agreed on me selling he purchased the home and was able to prevent that stuff on my record. I appreciate him for helping us."
"Me and my husband had a property we just didn't want to deal with anymore. It had leaks in the roof, needed a new water heater and a bunch of other stuff we didn't have the energy to fix anymore. Mal gave us a fair cash offer and made our downsizing process simple"
Our promise to you
What you can hold us to when you sell
You deal with Mal from the first call to closing day. These are the four things we promise on every house.
The number holds
The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough turns up something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.
A contract you can read
Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family, and ask us about any line before you sign.
You pick the date
Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we can't make it, we'll say so right then, before you've committed to anything.
The truth, even if we lose the deal
If your house would sell for more with an agent, we'll tell you. Some people don't need a cash buyer, and we'd rather you hear that from us.
