LBI real estate market activity in the luxury segment also remained strong. A five-bedroom home at 321 Liberty Avenue in Beach Haven moved into Active Under Contract status after just 22 days on the market. Listed at $3.39 million, the property's quick transition underscores healthy demand for high-end homes in desirable island locations.
On the closing side, a property at 1608 Waverly in Long Beach Township sold for $1.63 million, exceeding its asking price of $1.595 million. The sale closed at approximately 102.2% of list price after only 31 days on the market, demonstrating that properly priced homes continue to generate competitive buyer interest.
While strong sales activity continues, some inventory adjustments are taking place. Two Long Beach Township properties were removed from the market after their listings expired. These situations often give sellers opportunities to reassess pricing, presentation, or marketing strategies as the market transitions into the fall season.
