Average Price Per Square Foot For Single Family Homes In The LBI NJ Real Estate Market
To better understand the Price Per Square Foot For Single Family Homes In The LBI NJ Real Estate Market, I have broken the market into 4 areas grouped by the size of the home that has sold. Below is the sales data for single family homes only that have sold between September 1st 2013 and December 31st 2013 in the Long Beach Island real estate market.
- For LBI homes under 1,000 sq. feet there were 11 sales with an average price per sq. foot of $567
- For LBI homes between 1,000 and 2,000 sq. feet there were 63 sales with an average price per sq. foot of $432

From looking at the sales data above, a few things jump out. The most active area of the LBI real estate market is the “middle” price range meaning homes priced around $700,000-$1,100,000. In fact the average sales price of the 97 homes that sold between 1,000 and 3,000 sq. feet was $803,000. This is fairly consistent on LBI as there are many options available in this price range and the homes generally offer a good location and a good quality house. The higher end of the LBI real estate market, with homes over 3,000 sq feet, shows the highest price per sq. foot which is to be expected. What may seem surprising is that smallest homes that have sold in the LBI real estate market have a very high average price per sq. foot at $567! This is mainly due to the fact that the true value of homes in the LBI real estate market is in the land. Many of these smaller homes are on large lots in good locations and since the land will retain much of its value, they end up selling for a higher price per sq. foot. Studying the Price Per Square Foot For Single Family Homes In The LBI NJ Real Estate Market is a good way to estimate the value of a home for sale but it is important to remember that factors such as location, lot size and condition will influence the value of a home in the LBI real estate market.
