What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 306 closed sales in Lakewood over the last six months, with a median closing price of $416,220. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.
Median home price in Lakewood, NJ (August 2026)
The median home price in Lakewood is $416,220, measured across the 306 closed sales Resideline tracked over the last six months.
The Lakewood angle
Lakewood Township has been among New Jersey's fastest-growing municipalities, with a young population and a housing stock that includes a large amount of townhome and multi-unit construction alongside detached homes. Resideline tracked 306 closings there over six months at a median closing price of $416,220, about 51 tracked closings a month. That midpoint sits below the surrounding Ocean County norm largely because attached and smaller-unit product makes up a substantial share of transactions. A 20 percent down payment at the median is $83,244. Buyers should look closely at unit type, since a detached single-family figure in Lakewood would differ considerably from this blended citywide number.
From market read to offer price
A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.
And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the median home price in Lakewood?
The median sold price in Lakewood over the last 6 months is $416,220, measured across 306 closings Resideline tracked.
Why is Lakewood, NJ's median lower than surrounding Ocean County towns?
Housing type. The median closing price across 306 tracked Lakewood closings over six months was $416,220, and a large share of the township's stock is townhomes and attached or multi-unit product rather than detached single-family homes. That composition pulls the blended median down. A detached-only comparison would look different, so match property type before comparing towns.
