LBI New Construction Oceanfront Home Sales April 2019

Long Beach Island Real Estate

Oceanfront homes are the most expensive homes in the LBI real estate market (all things being equal). New construction sales are one of the best ways to gauge this area of the Long Beach Island Real Estate market. In reality they represent two sales: the first when the vacant land or tear down traded and again when the new home sold. This makes for an excellent way to measure the appreciation of the LBI real estate market and predict where things are heading. LBI New Construction Oceanfront Home Sales April 2019 show some interesting trends in the market for buyers.

Buying an Oceanfront Home in the Long Beach Island Real Estate Market

Buying any home is a big investment and this is especially true of new constructions in the LBI real estate market. When looking at this unique facet of our market you have to understand what adds value. For example the width of the lot and how large a CAFRA footprint exists can add or detract a significant amount of value. Likewise determining how a home was built and what choices were made can greatly impact the long term ownership costs and appreciation in the market. If you have any questions about buying, selling or investing in the LBI real estate market please do not hesitate to contact me.
