🎬 New Jersey is betting BIG on the film industry—but will that actually translate into higher real estate values?
Netflix. Lionsgate. Studio 1888.
Three major studio developments are putting Monmouth County, Newark and Bayonne at the center of New Jersey's growing film-production industry.
The theory sounds pretty straightforward:
🎥 Major studio investment
➡️ New jobs and economic activity
➡️ Increased demand for housing
➡️ Rising property values
But is it actually happening?
Tonight on New Jersey Living LIVE, I'm going beyond the headlines and looking at the recent real estate data in the communities surrounding these projects.
We'll examine Monmouth County, Newark and Bayonne to see whether home prices, sales activity, inventory and buyer demand are beginning to support the predictions—or whether the real estate impact of these massive developments is still more expectation than reality.
We'll also talk about productions such as The Whisper Man and Office Romance, which filmed in New Jersey, and the bigger question surrounding the state's rapidly expanding film industry:
Can New Jersey's movie-studio boom become a real estate boom, too?
