LBI Real Estate Market Summary (Last 6 Months)
Below is a breakdown of all single family homes on the South end of Long Beach Island. I have used only the South end of LBI, as there is a significant difference in home prices between the North and the South end of LBI, and crossing the two areas can skew the data.
Total Sales: 63 homes
Average List Price: $2,500,244
Average Close Price: $2,439,151
Average Price per SqFt: $1,039.37
Average Sale-to-List Ratio: 97.98%
This data reflects a high-demand market where homes are selling close to, or even exceeding, the asking price. The average price per square foot remains strong, indicating continued buyer confidence in LBI real estate.
