Long Beach Island Real Estate and the Surf City Market
Single-family home sales in Surf City showed impressive improvement over the same time frame a year ago. In 2015, there were only seven single-family homes sold compared to 13 homes sold in 2016. This represents a significant improvement in the Surf City real estate market. This helps with some of the poor performance we saw in the Loveladies and North Beach real estate markets, and helps to support the fact that individual areas of the LBI real estate market need to be examined before buying or selling. Some markets and some price points will do better or worse depending on the greater economic forces at play, so it is important to make a smart investment at the best time possible.
