This represents a greater investment in the Long Beach Island real estate market when one considers these homes will be torn down and a large new construction built in its place. The higher average price in 2015 was also slightly skewed by the sale of a large home in Loveladies for $7,700,000. When this sale is removed from the equation, the average price drops to $964,316. This is essentially the same average price we saw in 2016.
