Lakewood Housing Goes Through the Roof By Shlomo Schorr | January 20, 2021
As more young couples than ever crowd the town, can they find a roof to put over their heads?
T study by Realtor.com, which was released last month, listed Lakewood as the number one suburb in the country when it comes to rising home prices. According to the report, median home prices in Lakewood increased a whopping 47.6% to $309,000 from October 2019 to October 2020.
The housing boom is a “direct result of the pandemic,” Mrs. Blima Goldberger, a veteran realtor with Waxman Realty in Lakewood, told Mishpacha. “The market was definitely moving up before COVID, but ever since the pandemic arrived, it’s risen tremendously.”
