LBI Real Estate Market Condo Sales 2025 — Full‑Year Market Report
For buyers in the Long Beach Island real estate market, the $845–$951 per square foot range serves as a realistic mid-market benchmark, with limited room for negotiation due to consistently high sale-to-list price ratios, making it important to act decisively on well-priced opportunities—particularly new construction. For sellers, while the $1.25 million median price offers a useful island-wide reference point, actual value is ultimately determined by the property’s micro-market, including the specific town, building, proximity to the water, and available amenities; newer or recently renovated homes continue to outperform older inventory, and with buyer demand remaining strong through the summer and surprisingly stable even into December, pricing and timing can be approached strategically rather than relying solely on traditional seasonality.
