LBI Homes Sold This Week

Six properties closed between September 20 and September 27, totaling about $24.4 million in closed sales volume. The $14.75 million Harvey Cedars sale drove much of that total, but meaningful activity occurred across several LBI communities and price ranges as we can see in this week's LBI real estate market update.


130 Chatsworth Avenue #1

  • List Price: $830,000

  • Sold Price: $860,000

  • Days on Market: 37

  • Sold Price: $1,630,000

  • Days on Market: 31

  • Days on Market: 11

  • 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths

7201 Long Beach Boulevard

  • List Price: $21,000,000

  • Sold Price: $14,750,000

  • Days on Market: 152

At $14.75 million, this was easily the week's largest sale and one of the transactions that stands out at the upper end of the LBI real estate market.


New LBI Listings Hit the Market


Buyers looking for homes on Long Beach Island also gained some fresh options this week.

New listings represented a wide range of price points, from approximately $1.2 million to $5.85 million.


Some noteworthy new listings included:

  • 6 W 87th Street, Long Beach Township: $1,199,000

  • 404 Coral Street, Beach Haven: $1,649,000

  • 15 W Ohio Avenue, Long Beach Township: $4,525,000

  • 69 Bayview Drive, Long Beach Township: $5,850,000


The continued arrival of new inventory gives fall buyers additional choices, particularly in the $2 million to $4 million segment of the LBI market.


LBI Homes Going Under Contract

Buyers were active this week as well, with homes moving toward closing in several communities.


Noteworthy pending properties included:

  • 54-E Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach Township: $2,300,000

  • 2 E 28th Street #B, Barnegat Light: $2,499,000

  • 2015 West Avenue, Beach Haven: $2,600,000

  • 231 N 8th Street, Surf City: $2,875,000

  • 12 5th Street, Barnegat Light: $2,999,999

  • 2912 Beach Avenue, Long Beach Township: $3,400,000

Additional properties entered active-under-contract status, including 112 W Ship Bottom Avenue in Ship Bottom at $1.399 million and 270 N 3rd Street in Surf City at $1.46 million.


Price Reductions Create Opportunities for LBI Buyers


The fall market also brought several notable price adjustments.

Among this week's price reductions:

  • 310 S West Avenue #E1, Beach Haven: $925,000 to $899,000

  • 3200 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach Township: $1,599,000 to $1,350,000

  • 121 W New Jersey Avenue, Long Beach Township: $1,749,000 to $1,699,000

  • 515 Long Beach Boulevard, Ship Bottom: $2,299,000 to $2,195,000

  • 2417–2421 Long Beach Boulevard, Surf City: $2,650,000 to $2,550,000

  • 10-A Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach Township: $2,799,000 to $2,649,000

Price reductions are particularly worth watching during the fall. A property that may not have made sense to a buyer earlier in the season can become more attractive following a meaningful adjustment.


What Does This Week Tell Us About the LBI Real Estate Market?


One of the clearest takeaways from this week's activity is the enormous range of the Long Beach Island real estate market. The week's closed sales stretched from $860,000 in Beach Haven to $14.75 million in Harvey Cedars. We also saw sharply different seller experiences. Two closed properties sold above their asking prices, while other homes sold below list. Marketing times also varied significantly, with one Surf City home spending only four days on the market. Meanwhile, the combination of new listings, pending sales and price reductions provides fall buyers with several different ways to approach the market.

For sellers, these results reinforce an important point: there is no single "LBI market."

Conditions can vary considerably by town, location, property condition, age, lot, proximity to the beach or bay, amenities, and price point. Understanding recent comparable sales in the immediate area remains an important part of determining an appropriate pricing and marketing strategy.


Thinking About Buying or Selling on Long Beach Island?


Whether you're considering purchasing an LBI vacation home, investment property, waterfront home, new construction, or year-round residence, understanding current inventory and recent sales can help you make a more informed real estate decision.

If you're thinking about selling, knowing what buyers are purchasing, how quickly comparable properties are moving, and how those homes are priced can be equally valuable.


The LBI fall real estate market is underway, and activity during the week's LBI real estate market update for September 20–27, 2026 shows buyers and sellers continuing to make moves across Long Beach Island.
