2013 Long Beach Island Home Sales By Nathan Colmer
2013 LBI Real Estate Home Sales by Nathan Colmer
The Long Beach Island real estate market in 2013 operated under the lasting effects of Hurricane Sandy, which had significantly impacted the region just months prior. Many properties sustained damage—ranging from minor repairs to full rebuilds—creating a unique and transitional market environment across LBI.
As a result, pricing across the island was notably lower than in prior years, particularly for properties requiring renovation or redevelopment. At the same time, this shift created opportunities for buyers seeking long-term value and for investors focused on rebuilding and repositioning waterfront properties.
Despite uncertainty early in the year, demand gradually returned as confidence improved. Buyers were actively pursuing discounted opportunities, while sellers were increasingly motivated to transact. This environment required practical guidance, strong negotiation skills, and an understanding of both current conditions and long-term upside.
During this period, Nathan Colmer began establishing a foothold in the Long Beach Island real estate market, successfully navigating transactions in a challenging and evolving landscape.

The 2013 Long Beach Island real estate market was directly influenced by the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, making it one of the most distinct market environments in recent history. Property values in many areas experienced short-term declines, particularly for homes requiring significant repairs or redevelopment.
However, this period also created rare opportunities. Buyers who entered the market during 2013 were often able to secure properties below long-term value, particularly in desirable coastal locations. Investors and second-home buyers recognized this window as a strategic entry point.
Transaction activity gradually increased throughout the year as confidence returned and rebuilding efforts progressed. While average sales prices remained lower than in later years, the foundation for future appreciation was clearly forming.
Nathan Colmer’s activity during this year reflects the ability to operate effectively in a challenging market, identifying opportunities and guiding clients through transactions that required careful evaluation and strategic thinking.
