Summer Stability: June through August remained steady, with August reaching 198 active listings, the second-highest count of the year.
Seasonal Slowdown: By November and December, inventory tightened significantly, dropping to 102 active listings in December and dollar volume falling to $314M.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers in the LBI Real Estate Market
For buyers, lower inventory in late fall and winter means less selection but potentially motivated sellers. For sellers, listing earlier in the year or during the summer can help capture peak buyer interest and higher dollar volumes. Inventory is still at an all-time low, which makes the market more competitive.
