This represents the sales price of $430 .91 per square foot and a listing price to sales price ratio of 97.7%. The most expensive home to sell was 27 E. 11th St. which was a four bedroom, 3 1/2 bathroom oceanside contemporary. This house is located off the beach and offers numerous amenities. This home sold for $990,000 after spending 154 days on the market. The home actually sold for only 90% of its listing price which shows the starting price point was too high. It is important to point out that location in Barnegat Light, like elsewhere in the Long Beach Island real estate market, has a great deal to do with price. For example, 27 E. 11th St. is located on the northern end of Barnegat Light, and has much wider beach. This can be a deterrent for some buyers, and leads to lower average sales price relative to the more southern areas of Barnegat Light.
