Key Takeaways for 2023

Barnegat Light (on Long Beach Island / LBI) remained a high‑demand, low‑inventory submarket in 2023. Prices held firm, with the average sale near $1.75M and a strong $829/SF weighted average, reflecting the premium for prime North‑End locations and renovated or newer homes. Most properties still required competitive offers (though primarily under ask), while select trophy listings pushed ultra‑premium $/SF.
