LBI Real Estate Close Price to List Price Ratio

 

LBI NJ Real Estate

A question that often comes up is how the ORIGINAL listing price correlates to the sales price for a home in the LBI real estate market. This is a valid question, especially when looking at a home that just came on the market. Each month I publish a sales update that covers the average sales price, days on market and list price to sale price ratio however this ratio is specific to the current listing price-not the original listing price. When looking to buy a home in the LBI real estate market an examination of LBI real estate close price to list price ratio, including the original listing price for a home on Long Beach Island, can be very helpful.

As you can see from the data above there is a great difference (in most cases) between the original price and the final sales price ratio. Even 1%-2$ less for a home in the LBI real estate market translates to several thousand dollars. When looking to buy a home in the LBI real estate market it is very important to keep in mind the current market activity and how current trends should guide an offer. If a listing is competitively priced than there is a very good chance it will sell close to list price. If it seems high, as a buyer, one should not be afraid to offer a lower number, provided it is still in line with the overall LBI real estate market.
