It should be pointed out that one of these transactions was not a “true” oceanblock home in that it was located in Holgate on the bayside of Long Beach Blvd. While there is a grey area in the exact definition of an oceanblock home, the general accepted defination is that there are no streets to cross between the house and the beach entrance (although in fairness many homes in Brant Beach are considered to be oceanblock despite having to cross over Beach Ave.). This Holgate property helped to drive down the average sales price as it traded for $440,000 as it was also storm damaged.
