My wife and I are in the middle of the home-buying process here in Ocean County, and to say it's been a challenging experience is an understatement.

So it's no surprise that 5 New Jersey zip codes are among the most expensive in the entire country.

Even crazier, is that 3 of the 5 towns are right here by the Jersey Shore.

Granted, that may not be a surprise since beach living is far from affordable these days but these are places where homes are selling for tens of millions of dollars.

If you want to live here, you'll want to start playing the lottery.
