Ship Bottom and the Long Beach Island Real Estate Market
The trends we see in Ship Bottom reflect those we see elsewhere in the LBI real estate market. Older homes, and especially those in need of major repair, are being sold for land value with the intent to build impressive new constructions. This has a very positive impact on the overall valuation of the Long Beach Island real estate market, as these newer homes have higher rate values than the pre-existing smaller homes. Unfortunately, the loss of all the original homes on Long Beach Island does take with it some of the charm that makes LBI such a special place. However, new construction does offer modern amenities and larger gathering spaces. While some still prefer smaller homes, the trends definitely lend themselves towards the newer homes as we can see in the aggressive sales price of 334 W. 16th St. in Ship Bottom.
