Single Family Home Sales in the Loveladies Real Estate Market on Long Beach Island
Loveladies First Quarter Real Estate Sales in 2016Long Beach Island NJ Real Estate
The single family home real estate market in Loveladies showed a significant decrease in activity in 2016 when compared to 2015. This goes against trends we see elsewhere in the LBI real estate market. With a general increase in activity and a higher average and median sales price elsewhere on LBI, it is important to remember that Loveladies is only one section of Long Beach Township. And Long Beach Township is just one section of Long Beach Island and therefore, it is not uncommon to see anomalies take place in such a small market sample. That said, Loveladies first-quarter real estate sales in 2016 are worthy of examination as well as an explanation of what caused such a decrease.

Loveladies and the Long Beach Island New Jersey Real Estate Market
A look back to the Loveladies real estate market in the first quarter of 2015 shows a significant difference from 2016. There were nine closed single-family homes in Loveladies with an average price of $2,415,833 during the first quarter. There were obviously far fewer homes sold in 2016 and at a much lower price. In fairness the first quarter of 2015 showed a very expensive sale at $7,700,000, which greatly skews the average sales price. Part of the poor performance in the Loveladies real estate market can be explained by the dismal performance of the stock market during the same time frame. Home prices in the LBI real estate market, and especially in the higher tier markets like Loveladies and North Beach, are surprisingly sensitive to the financial markets. As the economy starts to improve towards the later part of the first quarter, the expectation for improvement for home prices and activity in the Loveladies real estate market should follow. Overall, the first quarter of home sales in the Long Beach Island real estate market was strong with more activity and a stable average price, but it is important to note trends in individual markets when buying, selling, or investing.
