The data is remarkably simple and straightforward. The average single-family home sales price in the LBI real estate market has increased by about $120,000 over the last year, even as interest rates rose. History shows us that mortgage rates have very little impact on buyer activity in the LBI real estate market in either direction. In other words, if rates drop, we do not see a massive surge in activity; likewise, when rates rise, we do not see a mass exodus from the market. The most reliable prediction tool is the number of homes for sale, simple supply and demand. Right now and over the last year, inventory has been very low, and demand is still quite high. This has led to prices rising throughout the market and will likely continue to do so until inventory regulates.



Buying a home in the LBI real estate market and elsewhere is a major investment, and whether this is the right time is a personal decision. If the right home comes on the market that fits your needs, this is a good time to buy. If not, then it is better to wait. It is risky to assume that the market will drop, we will see a wave of distressed sales and foreclosures, etc. Rather, it is likely the market will continue to balance and remain balanced for some time with prices going up or down a few points. I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! For more information about buying, selling or investing in the Long Beach Island real estate market, please do not hesitate to contact me.
