As we can see from the data, more homes expired from the multiple listing service each month than sold. In fact, the data shows us that roughly twice as many homes failed to sell each month. On the surface this may seem alarming, but it is important to remember there are a number of variables that fit into the LBI real estate market. Most homes that failed to sell during these months were due to either poor pricing or poor marketing. Either or both of these errors can result in a home not receiving the attention it deserves, and therefore, not receiving offers.
